Sometimes I like to escape into a positive work of fiction. Especially during those times when I'm thinking too much for my own good. Here are a few that I really enjoyed and were hopeful and pleasant reads. 1. Garden spells- Sarah addison Allen. The characters are rich and the story is magical. the...

I'm agnostic and ive been happy with that for YEARS. Let me clear up what "agnostic" means to me. It's when you are respectful of all religious views but are not entirely convinced by any.
