A gray/white background with a man's arm and woman's arm coming in from opposite directions, their hands reaching for one another. Text: 70k women's fiction querying now. A marriage tested to the limit by faith, family, secrets and lies. Can Jac and Ben find their way back to one another? ALL OTHER GROUND written by Lori Singaraju featuring themes of faith, doubt, marriage, motherhood, sisterhood, friendship, and living authentically. For fans of Glennon Doyle and Jen Hatmaker.

Jac's husband isn't sure he can be married to an exvangelical. Her dad is sick and her twin sister is back in town to tell her everything she's doing wrong. And her megachurch pastor father-in-law might be covering up a scandal. Christmas is gonna be awkward.

I forgot my headphones to sit at my daughters’ gymnastics. There are multiple kids watching shows or playing games on their moms’ phones plus snack wrappers and chewing and my nervous system thinks the wolves are closing in.

All my life, movies and books have prepared me to handle the government being taken over by evil geniuses. So these evil dumbasses are a real bad surprise.

Proud of 2am me for remembering to turn off my 5:30 alarm after putting in sub plans after posting the assignment to Google Classroom after getting my vomiting seven-year-old back to bed.

Several middle schoolers wrote that teleportation would be the best superpower because β€œyou would never be late.”

I like their optimism, but I would 100% still be late, and also be stripped of believable excuses.

Yeah, I think she’s 12. Definitely an old soul. I just didn’t know the kids still knew VC Andrews.

I just had a 6th grader asking for VC Andrews books! We do not have them in the middle school library. She got The Shining.

"It's been a really hard year today."
My then-three-year-old said it while having a small meltdown one morning in April 2020. I've been thinking this a lot over the past week and decided to share it for all of your use as well.

You know how you shouldn’t go grocery shopping hungry? Well you also shouldn’t go after a day when you wrote multiple office referrals. Anyway, there’s pizza, beer and Oreos for dinner. #TeacherSky

After reading fifty middle-schooler-written zombie stories that were 100% dialogue and action with absolutely no explanation, I can enthusiastically confirm that telling is also necessary.

Obviously, I'll read it too! Teaching is such a great way to enable a book habit. It's...for my classroom library. For the children!
