The Happy Runner by David and Megan Roche – 5 StarsUgh, I can’t tell you how much I LOVED this book. And these authors. They cracked me up. The Happy Runner is divided into two halves. The first half covers the philosophy behind The Happy Runner and the mental aspect of running. The second half…

Locke and Key Volumes 5 & 6 by Joe Hill – 5 stars eachA great ending to the series. It wraps up everything nicely but keeps you engaged throughout. I think I finished both books in only a few hours (I wasn’t tracking). I was sad to see the series end, though. It was good….
