My Summer Reading Round-Up 2021
Happy July, my friends, and welcome to my first official brand-new blog post here at StephanieMack.com! What a pretty place to sit down and let the creativity flow, thanks to my designer-turned-dear-friend, the lovely Natalie Lauren Design. This fresh, gorgeous site is everything I could have dreamed up and more. Plus, what a perfect way to kick off the new blog portion, with my top summer reads for this year!

My Goals for 2021
Is this photo too pretty and hopeful? Ha! I’m going with it, you guys! Happy official 2021, everyone. You know, maybe your heart is heavy today. Maybe you’re overwhelmed. Or maybe you’re not at all, and you feel as joyful as these balloons, still filled with the fresh air that comes with January and loving the bright, blank calendar laid out ahead of us. I know this year has already brought us an early dose of sadness and weight, but we can’t let it hold us down! I’m actively asking God to pull me out of the ongoing narrative that everything’s still sinking, fast! I’m here to help lift your chins, sweet friends—to hold your hand and keep you chasing the light with me.
My Favorite Books of 2020
My books of the year always tell me something. What did I reach for? What did I need? What did I seek in the quiet? As I peer back on twenty-twenty, one thing is abundantly clear: I read to enjoy, to escape, to be entertained. In plenty of previous seasons, I have devoured self-help, true stories, and/or deep, serious fiction. That wasn’t this year, for me. I read what I wanted, whenever I wanted or needed! And it’s beautiful to me that books met me where I was at. Needing hope. Needing light. Quite honestly, needing a whole other world in the magic of written pages.
