I'd highly recommend Mad Honey to Picoult's fans, it's definitely in line with her other blockbuster bestsellers.
Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult (with bonus excerpt), 4.5 Stars
Split-Level by Sande Boritz Berger, 4 Stars
The book also captured the 70's well, and gave me that groovy vibe I was so hoping for when I picked it up.
You Think It, I’ll Say it by Curtis Sittenfeld, 4 1/2 Stars
Today is one of those dreamy weekend days where all I have planned all afternoon is to lie on a couch or bed with a book in hand and veg out. And (obviously) blog a bit. But mostly just hang out. I have nowhere to go, no deadlines to meet, and my only aspirations for... Continue Reading →
The Broken Girls by Simone St. James, 4.5 Stars

The Great Alone by Kristen Hannah, 5 stars
5 stars you say, eh? But seriously, I devoured this book and loved it from beginning to end. I don't think there is anything bad I have to say about it! The critics loved it too: "A tour-de-force" Kirkus (starred review) "Hannah vividly evokes the natural beauty and danger of Alaska and paints a compelling... Continue Reading →
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng 4 Stars
"The firemen said there were little fires everywhere...Multiple points of origin. Possible use of accelerant. Not an accident." --Little Fires Everywhere I love this book. And no, it wasn't suspense. But I think it was possibly my other favorite genre which I'll just go ahead and call nostalgic fiction. Or maybe it's not nostalgia, but... Continue Reading →
