  • CARRIE SOTO IS BACK BY TAYLOR JENKINS REID

    TJR is one of my favorite authors and Carrie Soto Is Back is a great example as to why. Why tennis? Who cares about sports? Who would ever read a book with play by play of a sporting event? Answer, no one… well, no one unless TJR is writing it. This is the magic of…

  • THE LAST PARTY BY CLARE MACKINTOSH

    I have mixed feelings about this one so deciding a rating was difficult. In the end, I went with my gut. This story starts out strong. A strong list of characters, two detectives that everyone will enjoy reading about and a twisting story right out of the gate.     I love reading about Wales – so already Mackintosh…

  • THE FAMILY GAME BY CATHERINE STEADMAN

    I’m not going to overcomplicate my review because it’s not an overly complicated book.      This is a classic thriller. A plane read. A quick read. A Netflix movie.Whatever you want to call it, it does the job and it does it quick. I found this story quite enjoyable. I read it quickly and became quite…

  • THE WISHING GAME BY MEG SHAFFER

    A simple way to wrap up this story is it will warm your soul. It’s one of those wholesome, lovely book about books that book people will curl up in a chair and melt over. (At least that is how I reacted.)     As everyone mentions, this is a Willy Wonka inspired novel and Meg did…

  • BEFORE WE WERE YOURS BY LISA WINGATE

    One of my favorite things to do is ‘learn’ while being entertained reading a book. I went into this novel not knowing what I was reading and glad the author made a note at the end. Although not based on one actual person or family, the author did a good job taking many stories and compiling…

  • THE UNMAKING OF JUNE FARROW BY ADRIENNE YOUNG

    This is my first Adrienne Young book and I promise it won’t be my last.       I adored how Young wrote. The writing was as beautiful as the flower filled setting we opened up to.  This is a complicated topic, time travel. I picked up this book blind and had no idea that would…

  • THE VILLA BY RACHEL HAWKINS

    Rachel Hawkins is in the group of authors that I look for … I get excited when one of these authors puts out a book and I want to be the first to read it. I’m a little on The Villa, I’ll admit. I’ll confess I saw the ratings tumble as it was first released…

  • AS LONG AS THE LEMON TREES GROW BY ZOULFA KATOUH

    A absolute heartbreaking story from Syria. Yes, Syria. A place that I know is going through (still going through?) some heartbreakingevents but no one talks enough about. 4.5 stars for me and I’ll explain my 1/2 star drop later in the review.      This is a beautiful story, paired with a beautiful cover and an even…

  • THE WITCHES BY ROALD DAHL

    A re-read for me.      When rereading you get to experience the Roald magic all over again. I know there are a lot of ‘things’ to discuss about him as a person, but the magic he has in his books is still quite remarkable.      I really enjoyed The Witches and am going for a 4.5 stars.…
