Simply Listening

What’s the kindest thing someone has ever done for you?

There are literally so many examples of kindness shown to me throughout the years so it is difficult to pinpoint one.

One instance that does stand out the most for me involves the woman I considered my church mom. Basically, I had to have a rather difficult conversation about something that had been laid on my heart. I was so worried that it would be taken the wrong way or something of the nature but I knew I needed to have the conversation with someone from church.

I eventually mustered up the courage to message her and asked to meet her in person to have the conversation. She immediately agreed to meet me at my work after hours. The conversation went very smoothly and she was completely understanding and was actually aware of what I was talking about, alleviating a bunch of my anxiety instantly.

She then offered to take me home and even stop for a drink on the way.

The fact that she was so easily available to listen to me and take me seriously, while also being respectful and understanding, meant so much to me and I will never forget that.

About Me

Hello! I am Ashley and I simply love to read, and hope you do to!
I am currently 29 years old and living in the state of Texas, USA.

My favorite genres to read and review include romance, fantasy, mystery, and many subgenres of those as long as it is clean. I mainly get my books from my Kindle Unlimited membership, but I also found myself checking out library books on Libby as well.

As you can see, I do not solely post book reviews, I also love posting daily prompt writing, as well as stuff that is going on in my life currently. That being said, my passion is reading and reviewing books to my heart’s content, so hopefully that is something you are also interested in.

I do have a Goodreads where you can follow if you desire (no pressure!) I also have a StoryGraph, of which you can follow me here.
