It was the Ardbeg Kelpie in living, breathing form. What’s Ardbeg? That’s […]

I took one look at the cover of “The Genie Hunt“ by M.C. Tuggle and decided I was going to start reading it during the day, when it was nice and bright out.

Summer is right around the corner and I think I might be miles ahead of a lot of people when it comes to my summer reading list. Summer for me means more time to read in the beach, park, or any place where I can just sit back and be transported to another world. So the first book on my […]
