When you're looking for a scary good read!
Today I'm reviewing Best Day Ever by Kaira Rouda. I was intrigued by the description of the book. Of course, when something is supposed to be the "best day ever", it's clear from the beginning it won't be. It'll probably be the worst day ever for someone. This book is definitely dark. And it's one... Continue Reading →
I already had this galley on my Kindle, ready to go, when I attended a Mary Kubica book event at my local library. She recommended The Breakdown as a great title for her fans, so of course I had to run home and immediately begin reading it. I was fighting to keep my eyes open,... Continue Reading →
I'm kind of excited for my very first blog to be a review on Every Last Lie by Mary Kubica. Let me explain. This is her 4th book, and every single one has been amazing! She is also a local author and although I have never met her, I can claim that some of my... Continue Reading →
Today I am reviewing The Other Woman by Sandie Jones. When we think of the "other woman", we think of an awful, conniving woman who is out to steal our man away. So what happens, when (in the case of this book), that "other woman" is the woman who had him first--his mother? Of course... Continue Reading →
It has been hard for me to sit down and read a book lately. I blame summer. Or rather, the hurried end of summer as we try to check every single last thing off our summer bucket list, go to all the dentist appointments and buy whatever it is that is the "best deal ever"... Continue Reading →
I was kind of reluctant to pick up Something in the Water. I knew it was a NY Times bestseller and while many of those are completely amazing (most actually), I had it in my head for some reason that it was pretentious or one of those books that everyone says they love but that...

Last week I was down to a couple of titles on Netgalley. I'm usually pretty conservative about requesting titles. But this summer, I haven't been getting many responses to my requests and I kept finding stuff. And then last week....I think all the marketing people came back from vacation because all of a sudden I... Continue Reading →
I have been waiting and waiting and waiting for Give Me Your Hand to come out. And finally, it released last week. And almost instantaneously, my library copy was available for me. I must really stalk new releases to get the first hold in the system! But Megan Abott is really a master at writing... Continue Reading →
Summer is a great time for reading. It brings to mind lazy days of relaxing on the beach with a book, not a care in the world or a schedule to keep. Maybe 10 years ago before I had kids, or maybe 10 years in the future when they are old enough to not need... Continue Reading →
Have you ever read a book and the WHOLE time you think you may have read the book before? This totally happened to me with Her Pretty Face by Robyn Harding. It was so weird. It was a little reminiscent of Jar of Hearts, which I reviewed last month. But it wasn't the feeling I... Continue Reading →
The cover of this book really attracted it to me. I love the beach and contrast of red and black. Maybe I'm just fantasizing about the beach and summer nights? Current situation--46 and rainy. As I write this, it's March 31. So by the time you read this in July, I'll likely be complaining about... Continue Reading →
Happy 4th of July, y'all! Yesterday night we took the boys to the fireworks and met up with friends. Today is glorious. Because we have no plans. Normally I put together some big to-do with friends and neighbors but this year we've planned nothing. And I'm kind of excited. So I'm just going to prep... Continue Reading →
