Zen Buddhism : 5O Spiritual Teachings From Buddhist To Enlightenment And True Happiness by Kellie Sullivan

Zen Buddhism : 5O Spiritual Teachings From Buddhist To Enlightenment And True Happiness by Kellie Sullivan

I think this book is for people who already know the teachings of Buddha.  It kept referencing concepts that I didn’t know and then it would try to explain them in layman’s terms but I am a layman and had no idea what it meant.  Guess I’m not Buddhist material. And while I did finish […]

What would you […]

The Bad Boy Bargain (Suttonville Sentinels #1) by Kendra C. Highley

Favorite Quote: Hope—an angry, hard, shining thing—crashed around her chest. This one was a quick, cute read.  Bad boy meets popular girl, kisses ensue and they go from fake relationship to real relationship. Except…..Kyle isn’t really a bad boy. He was shy, and super awkward when it came to females.  And while he did excel […]
