In the 1970s, Madeleine Blais's in-laws purchased a vacation house on Martha's Vineyard for the exorbitant sum of $80,000. A little more than two miles down a poorly marked one-lane dirt road, the house was better termed a shack--it had no electricity or modern plumbing, the roof leaked, and mice had invaded the walls. It was perfect.

Sitting on Tisbury Great Pond--well-stocked with oysters and crab for foraged dinners--the house faced the ocean and the sky, and though it was eventually replaced by a sturdier structure, the ethos remained the same: no heat, no TV, and no telephone. Instead, there were countless hours at the beach, meals cooked and savored with friends, nights talking under the stars, until in 2014, the house was sold.

To the New Owners is Madeleine Blais's charming, evocative memoir of this house, and of the Vineyard itself--from the history of the island and its famous visitors to the ferry, the pie shops, the quirky charms and customs, and the abundant natural beauty. But more than that, this is an elegy for a special place. Many of us have one place that anchors our most powerful memories. For Blais, it was the Vineyard house--a retreat and a dependable pleasure that also measured changes in her family. As children were born and grew up, as loved ones aged and passed away, the house was a constant. And now, the house lives on in the hearts of those who cherished it, signifying endless summer.

Won’t go a day without it
Size: 2.32 Pound (Pack of 1), Style: New, Size: 2.32 Pound (Pack of 1), Style: New
So much better than the sugar version which has SOOOO much sugar it gave me heartburn. Yes, the sugar version is tasty like Tang, but that sugar gave me indigestion. The aspartame version was disgusting. This Stevia is awesome. Because it doesn’t have tons of sugar, you only need 2 heaping teaspoons instead of 2 tablespoons of the regular. I think it’s delicious and also has natural coloring, the sugar version has artificial dyes. I drink it everyday and my GI tract has never been happier. Only one small issue, this size container (~14 oz) is narrow, so buy the bigger bottle (23 or 34?) so you can reach in to scoop it easily. I have zero bloating or gas and sometimes take it more than once per day. It supposedly decreases appetite if taken before meals. It expands in your gut! Perfect. Just don’t take it within 2 hours of oral meds/vitamins as it can supposedly decrease gut absorption. Enjoy the results!!

Lower Cholesterol and Better Digestion, Even if the Taste Takes Getting Used To
Size: 2.32 Pound (Pack of 1), Style: New
I started using this fiber supplement after my doctor recommended it to help manage my cholesterol. I like that it’s plant-based and sugar-free, and it’s easy to mix into water. After taking it regularly, I’ve noticed a positive impact on my digestion, and I’m hopeful it will help with my cholesterol in the long run. The only thing is that the taste and texture aren’t quite what I expected — it’s a bit like protein powder. Still, the health benefits make it worth continuing

Wow. This book takes time to read!!
Format: Hardcover
Ordered The Unseen Realm (Expanded Edition) and it turned out to be one of the more thought-provoking reads I’ve come across on biblical theology. What stood out most is how much it stretched my thinking on the heavenly council. The way the author walks through Scripture and builds that framework forces you to slow down and reconsider passages you may have read many times without catching the broader context. It’s detailed, but not in a way that feels inaccessible. There’s a lot of depth here, especially if you’re willing to follow the argument and check the references. It doesn’t just make claims—it works through them. I didn’t agree with every conclusion, but that didn’t take away from the value. If anything, it pushed me to think more carefully and engage the material at a deeper level. Compared to other books in this space, this one stands out for how it ties together Old and New Testament themes in a more cohesive way. For the price, it’s a great value. There’s a lot of substance here, and it’s the kind of book you’ll likely revisit rather than read once and move on. If you’re interested in the supernatural framework of Scripture and are open to having your assumptions challenged, this is a strong read.
