The Screwtape Letters By: C.S. Lewis
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. Lewis has created something that is sometimes funny, sometimes thought…

THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT STYLES BY: AGATHA CHRISTIE
A great intro to the OG mystery writer. 4.5 stars for a great book. I am starting at the beginning of the Hercule Poirot series and read them all. I have read some of the more famous Agatha’s books, but I’m excited to start reading them all. The writing was excellent. At the end I…

DAISY JONES & THE SIX BY: TAYLOR JENKINS REID
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.

THE CURIOUS HEART OF AILSA RAE BY: STEPHANIE BUTLAND
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…

A NEARLY NORMAL FAMILY BY: M.T. EDVARDSSON
Does M.T. Edvardsson have multiple personalities? I really enjoyed this book! PROS: My favorite part of this book was the multiple view points. The book is broken into 3 parts. From the dad’s point of view, the daughter’s and then the mother. It literally felt like each character was writing their section of the book. …

THE LAST COLLECTION: A NOVEL OF ELSA SCHIAPARELLI AND COCO CHANEL BY: JEANNE MACKIN
You don’t have to like fashion to enjoy this book! This book was so wonderful. I loved the characters, I love how it’s based on truth and I even more love that Jeanne Mackin was able to take people maybe only known for their fashion contributions and make them so much more than that. As…
