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 →
The reason I picked up The Witch Elm by Tana French is...well, Tana French. She's an amazing writer. And not all writers have the ability to write super thick and meaty books that are still page-turners from cover to cover. With a novel that is over 500 pages of smallish-print I'd expect a good portion... Continue Reading →
How well do you remember your childhood? In my memory, I picture many experiences as a movie with a golden tinge to the picture. Is this normal? It feels like a dreamier time, mostly good memories but some of the details are fuzzy. I remember the friends, the fun, sitting on the hot wooden bench... Continue Reading →
Broken Things came on my radar when I saw some fellow bloggers post favorable reviews. It's mystery/suspense/fiction meets fairy-tale. They are interwoven together. That sounded interesting to me. And the book definitely had a Special Topics in Calamity Physics feel to it and I loved that book. I'd never heard of Lauren Oliver, perhaps because... Continue Reading →
I have a deep, dark, secret. My mom was a health nut in the 80's, waaaay before Whole Foods and nutrition was such a hot topic. Way before half the population was either a vegan or observed a gluten-free or dairy-free existence. As a child, on Easter, my sister and I received carob bunnies. I... Continue Reading →
It has been a while!!! I haven't blogged in a week and a half and it's been a combination of things. First of all, fall TV is here! And as much as I love to read, I also love me some This is Us, Grey's Anatomy (yes I am still hanging in there on season... Continue Reading →
I just finished reading Crazy Rich Asians. My book club picked it, we wanted to see what all the fuss was about. And it was so cute, and I loved it, and it was a nice break from my usual suspense. But man, that book is kind of dense. It's over 500 pages of smaller type.... Continue Reading →
How have I not heard of Sarah Pinborough before? Like, how? I chose Cross Her Heart through the Book of the Month Club and as far as I knew it was a debut author. Now, maybe I should read a little closer when I make those selections, but I was very surprised to learn she... Continue Reading →
Today I'm reviewing Three Little Lies by Laura Marshall. I reviewed her debut novel, Friend Request, a little over a year ago. It's been kind of fun now that I've been at this whole blogging thing for a while to review the next book by an author I've previously reviewed. It feels like I'm visiting... Continue Reading →
Today is my 13th wedding anniversary. And we are spending it doing totally normal things, nothing crazy. And I'm totally fine with that. I taught a class at the gym this morning while my husband took the kids to church. Now we are just hanging out and RELAXING while my kids play Nintendo (in several... Continue Reading →
