My Novel List (1)

Photo by Alexandra Fuller on Unsplash

During my separation, I have found a renewed love for reading. It had been so long since I had read a book for pleasure. In my days of being a wife, stay-at-home mom, and college student, I can recall reading some. The books that come to mind are the Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins (3 books), Divergent Trilogy by Veronica Roth (3 books), the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling (7 books), Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer (4 books), The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephanie Meyer, and The Host by Stephanie Meyer. There may be a few others that I am missing. But I can count in the years before my second separation (11.5 years of marriage, 12 years together) that I only read 19 or so books in 12 years! For an avid reader, those numbers are low.

Now that I am a separated mom, I find I need to keep myself busy as I am waiting on the Lord. I can’t say being a single parent primarily taking care of my children, working full time, and going to school for my teaching certifications means I have more time. I would say I have even less time than before. But I have a greater need to not dwell on the things I can not change or control. That means learning something new. Or getting a hobby. 

Not to mention, since becoming a mom and going through this life-changing situation of being married with kids to a single mother and no partner, I need to rediscover myself. My old self used to love to read, specifically romance novels, though she didn't do it as much after she became an adult. Now, the adult me is falling in love with reading again. So much so, that I bought for my birthday a Kindle Reader.

Below is my list of 13 books I have read during my almost 2-year separation. I've grouped the book titles by the authors. As a disclaimer, if you are sensitive to intimate scenes described, some profanity, battle scenes, or mentions of magic, or sorcery, one or more of the following book titles may not be appropriate for you.

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test (Blue Dye)

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test  with Blue Dye (+ / - ) This is what a negative looks like: Side Note: Blue dyes are often said to more frequently give false positives than pink dye. Some online boards that will tweak (alter) a pregnancy test photo to help individuals identify if the test is a faint positive or indeed negative, often will not do blue dyes.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

  My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...

My Laparoscopy Recovery Essentials: What’s Actually Helping Me Heal

I am not being paid to promote any of them and do not receive payments. Skin sensitivity may impact your experiences with these products. Recovering from my laparoscopy has been a journey, and honestly, some days are more uncomfortable than others. Over the past week, I’ve found a few products that have made a huge difference in how I feel—both physically and mentally. Here’s what’s been helping me get through it: 1. Body Wash That Feels Safe Before and after surgery, I wanted something gentle that still felt clean. I’ve been using Dove Antibacterial Body Wash , and it’s been perfect. It keeps the incision area clean without stinging or irritating my skin, which is such a relief.  2. Underwear That Actually Works I never thought I’d get excited about disposable underwear, but Frida Mom Disposable C-Section Underwear has been a game-changer. They’re soft, supportive, and don’t press on my stomach—exactly what ...
