Pardon the mess! With a new name and a *sort of* new life, Candice felt it was time to completely redesign her site.

About Candice

Candice (2)Candice Monhollan-Henry is a Communications Specialist at BrightView, the nation's leader in commercial landscaping and snow removal.

Before her current job, Candice was a multimedia journalist and photographer, winning four prestigious writing awards along the way and was known as the ice hockey queen for Chester County with her unparalleled coverage of the sport at ChesCo Hockey Haven.

Even with a busy schedule, Candice still finds time for her hobby of Civil War reenacting and passion for reading books. She is also a full-time, loving mom to a beautiful daughter and the four cutest cats in the world.

Read more about her here.

"Writers often don't know much about the world they're trying to describe, but they don't necessarily need to. They just need to ask a lot of questions. And then they need to step back and let the story speak for itself."

~Sebastian Junger, The Perfect Storm

"Nulla dies umquam memori vos eximet aevo."
("No day will ever erase you from the memory of time.")

~Valiants Memorial - Ottawa, Quebec

"...those who come after us will...fill up the canvas we begin."

~Thomas Jefferson, May 1804

Book Challenge

Candice is a huge fan of books, owning well over 500 of them. Each year, she sets a goal to read a certain amount.

Stay up-to-date with how she’s doing and what she’s reading here. Feel free to ask her opinion about the books. She loves to chat about them!

GOAL: Candice has a goal to read 15 books in 2021. She has currently read 2.

CURRENTLY READING:
Ordeal by Fire by James M. McPherson
The Last Stand by Nathaniel Philbrick
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

BOOKS READ IN 2021:

BOOK TALLY
Since Candice has moved, she is still cataloging and unpacking her books, so she’ll finally have a tally of how many she owns. Keep track as she updates almost daily as she organizes the books into the bookcases.

Want to see those books she owns? Just check out her Libib site.

As of Jan. 5: 580
