After much consideration, I have decided to take a break from the weekly Sunday Supplements.
While I love compiling these sources of inspiration and sharing them with everyone, I am taking some time to explore my other writing pursuits.
Also, I’m running out of books to suggest! —For now 🙂
That said, I want to make this last Sunday Supplement post a collection of some of my favorite recommendations from the past three and a half years.
Please take something away from these recommendations that enriches your weeks ahead!

I’m grateful to have been able to share these recommendations each week for the past three and a half years.
If you are interested in checking out a glossary of my Sunday Supplements (here) is the pinned page on my blog that lists all the supplements in order with their recommendations.
I aim to post updates on the main page of my website of any updates on my short story, novel, and screenwriting career as they come in.
I might revisit the Sunday Supplements later on, but until then, thank you, and have many blessed weeks ahead!
