Happy #libraryshelfieday everyone! Let me tell you about this collection from my personal library. . For most of my young adult years, I had a love for all things Lou Gehrig. I'm a sucker for a good life story, and his is fascinating. . I came across a Gehrig biography for the first time in high school. I had no idea who Gehrig was save for a reference to him in "The Goonies" (in the cave, when Mikey is rifling through Chester Copperpot's wallet). My dad, a HUGE baseball fan, gave me a primer. . Immediately I fell in love with Gehrig's story. How he overcame poverty, how he remained incredibly humble despite possessing epic talent, and how his quiet, clean lifestyle juxtaposed with the more flamboyant style of his teammate Babe Ruth. . My growing knowledge of the man who died decades before I was born led to me penning a biography myself. It's the tall green one. . Though I no longer pursue a study of Gehrig, I do plan to keep this collection of bios, which includes rare out-of-print books. And I will contend forever and ardently that Gehrig was a better player than Ruth, but that's a whole other post. . . . What is your favorite collection in your personal library? What's the story behind it? . . . . . . . . #gehrig #bookshelfie #booklife #bookish #readersofinsta #igbook #shelfie #bookcollection #bookloversofinstagram #readersofig #authorlife #authorsofig #favoritebooks #bookinsta #booksbooksbooks #readerlife #lougehrig #mylibrary

My writing is nothing without God's leading. I'm love my work because He brought me to it, and He will bring me through it. 🙌 .

If you ever find yourself in Kansas City (and you should, by the way), stop by the Steamboat Arabia Museum in the River Market. Not only will you learn a fantastically fascinating story, you will also see stunningly preserved pre-Civil War artifacts like these fountain pens. . Look at all those tips! Imagine the lines each tip would make. Imagine the hands that waited to hold them. . These pens never made it to the Western settlers to whom they were sent. Instead, they sunk, along with all the cargo aboard the steamboat, into the muddy depths of the Missouri River. . What stories would they have written? What news home? What joys shared or pleas lifted? . The possibilities inspire my writer's imagination. . History is a beautiful thing. And so is KC. . . . . . . . . . . . . #writerinspo #writerlife #writersofinstagram #author #authorsofinstagram #writelife #authorsofig #instaauthor #instawriter #historyinspires #kansascity #writing #ilovekc #writing #spilledink #writersgonnawrite #storystarter
