Morgan Matson's 'Save The Date' Is The Book To Read Right Now

Morgan Matson's new book "Save The Date" is absolutely one of the best books that I have read this summer and it is definitely one that you should add to your reading list ASAP.

This book follows Charlie as she gets ready for her sister's wedding and tries to have the best weekend with all her siblings together while trying to block out her reality of having to prepare for college in the fall. All while trying to deal with her huge crush on her neighbor/her brother's best friend, the cute new wedding planner assistant and to top it all off she's dealing with the ending of her mother's comic about their family and the fight that pushed one of her brothers away. This book is one that truly can relate to so many different people and it has elements that so many of us have either gone through or are going through right now.

Matson did such an amazing job with the character development and creation throughout this book. You truly get to know them and can actually picture this family and the things that go on in the book, it's like you're part of the family. Matson is able to masterfully combine the life of dealing with all the family and wedding issues while trying to juggle the crazy world of preparing to go to college and trying to decide what to do with those decisions.

I literally could not put this book down when I was reading it. It was definitely a 'one more chapter just one more chapter' book and then next thing I knew it was 12:30 a.m. and I finished it the next morning. In addition to the characters, the storyline is done so beautifully that it is just something that you could really see happening.

This book does an amazing job of making you feel like you're a part of the Grant family and for someone who is an only child, it is a really great insight to see the world of siblings and the relationships that can exist there. Matson truly does an amazing job of portraying the realness of family life and the relationships that do and don't exist between family members.

This truly is a great book to add to your reading list and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a new book to read or something new to add to their "to be read" list. Morgan Matson's "Save The Date" will definitely be the book you can't put down until you've finished it. It is a beautiful read and a great portrayal of family. Matson expertly covers the struggle of preparing for college and the craziness of a big family wedding. This book will make you laugh and cry and just want to go spend some time with your family.

From the cover to the Grant family comic strips inside to the story of family and big life moments, "Save The Date" is your new must-read book right now and you will not regret reading this book!

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
