“That’s the thing about obedience. it feels safe. But it’s only safe if the person has your best interest at heart.”
Trauma Bonds
“There’s an abuse pandemic going on in plain sight.”
What She Found

Dune: The Graphic Novel, Book 2
The next installment of the graphic novels! Here is my super helpful review.
We Were Dreamers
“I became more than just a comic book character— I became a part of an idea that everyone deserves to see themselves as superheroes, as the leads of their own stories.”
Why Believe?
“Christianity . . . , if false, is of no importance, and, if true, of infinite importance. The one thing it cannot be is moderately important.”
The Guest List
“It’s a strange thing when you consider that the dead on this island far outnumber the living.”
On the Road with Saint Augustine
“Do we call the road ‘home’ to avoid the pain of never being welcomed?”
I Remember You
“You’d think that once you die, things can’t really get much worse, but oh no, you’d be wrong. That was when my nightmare began.”
Heir of Blood and Secrets
“The Castle might be home to the wealthiest and most powerful people in Devovea, but it’s also home to the nosiest. Secrets are the currency here, where nothing is as simple as it seems.”
11 Books I Read in July
When you go on vacation, you read a lot of books!
The Diamond Eye
“Don’t miss. I had those words stamped on my bones, and there were so many chances to miss in this life— to fail.”
The Porn Problem
“Porn is the equivalent of burning a priceless Stradivarius violin for a few moments of warmth, and missing out on a lifetime of beautiful, glorious music.”
Verity
I’m the minority, but I didn’t love the book everyone else is marrying.
The Bomber Mafia
“This is a story of a Dutch genius and his homemade computer. A band of brothers in central Alabama. A British psychopath. Pyromaniacal chemists in a basement lab at Harvard.”
Mothertrucker
“This story is about women—about the way we bend, and love and listen, the way we forgive, forgive, forgive.”
God, Technology, and the Christian Life
“Human innovation is a wonderful gift but a disappointing god.”
Cultish
“With a glimmer of willingness, language can do so much to squash independent thinking, obscure truths, encourage confirmation bias, and emotionally charge experiences such that no other way of life seems possible.”
The It Girl
“She has never felt more haunted— by what happened to April, and by what she, Hannah, may have done to an innocent man. And now haunted too by what she’s doing to her old friends.”
