A layered story of a daughter trying to figure out her mother’s past and where she came from. From the beginning I was hooked. This story started out with a bang. I could see the author putting together a complicated web. I think I audibly gasped when twists were revealed. About 3/4 the way through

A reporter tries to catch the scoop without crossing lines and while reporting fairly. Can she come out on top and solve the mystery? To put it simply, this book wasn’t for me. I couldn’t connect with the characters. I don’t have much empathy for reporters. Especially as the author preached about being neutral, no

I’m sure we can all agree that when we read The Maid no one was expecting a second. Yet, Molly returns to save the day once again at another unfortunate event at the hotel. We dive back to her past and get a glimpse at what made Molly, the Molly we know and love. And

As I work my way through C.S. Lewis work I find myself once again realizing the magic of him and his writing. The Screwtape Letters is a delicious satire on religion as the reader enjoys short, but concise correspondents between the devil and a tempter.

Babel is a wanna-be intellectual’s dream and an actual intellectual’s nightmare. I fall into the former, so I loved it.

The author flexes her knowledge, education and

Such a fun story you’ll be googling “Daisy Jones & The Six” multiple times while reading. I must admit I knowingly purchased this book knowing it was fiction. After the first few pages I googled the band. Okay – it’s fiction. I confirmed this. Handful more pages I thought, maybe I missed something. Maybe I

#2 in the series and I’m already hooked. This the second book in the Hercule Poirot series. The first book Christie tricked me on the reveal but this time I figured it out before she could tell me. She tried to lead me astray (and she probably was successful if I’m being honest) but in

A feel good book that you can read on rainy days. I’m not sure what it was about Ailsa Rae that pulled me in so much. Maybe the fact that she was just a normal, flawed person just trying to make it through being super sick and finally getting a heart transplant? (Don’t worry, she
