This one got great reviews, Entertainment Weekly ran an incredible review, and this one is even slated to become a TV series with the same production company that made Sharp Objects, my latest obsession.
The Woman Inside by E.G. Scott, 3.5 Stars
The Dreamers by Karen Thompson Walker, 4 Stars
The Dreamers by Karen Thompson Walker is exactly what I want from a sleepy Sunday afternoon read.
The Perfect Liar by Thomas Christopher Greene, 4 Stars
By the time you read this review, I will be finished with my Christmas shopping!!!! I hope. Because right now it's November and instead of starting it or thinking of it, I spent the afternoon reading The Perfect Liar by Thomas Christopher Greene. Wow, another author I was blown away by and then realized after... Continue Reading →
An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, 5 Stars
I loved The Wife Between Us. Like, really loved it. And it was a New York Times best-seller--can't argue with that, huh? So when I saw that Hendricks and Pekkanen had teamed up for another book--An Anonymous Girl, it shot straight to the top of my TBR list. Sometimes I just brace myself for a... Continue Reading →
Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty, 5 Stars
Normally I'm pretty hard on books. I rarely give 5 stars. And I was explaining this to my husband by saying, "There really isn't a perfect book." Which is true.

When the Lights Go Out by Mary Kubica, 3 Stars

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 →
All We Ever Wanted by Emily Giffin, 4 Stars
I love Emily Giffin! Love her! But I do have to confess, I've always thought of her books as kind of a guilty pleasure. Like junk food for the brain. Her first book, Something Borrowed, is definitely a little fluffy, in the best possible way. And that movie, staring Kate Hudson and Ginnifer Goodwin, is... Continue Reading →
Heather the Totality by Matthew Weiner, 4 Stars
I have a Mad Men sized hole in my heart. Anyone else? It was just such an amazing show. And sure, it jumped the shark at times, but it did come back around and I think stayed true to itself. Plus, Don Draper. Right? So when I was at my library and happened to see... Continue Reading →
