RULES OF CIVILITY BY: AMOR TOWLES
Amor Towles is in the running for my new favorite author. I just happened to pick up two of Towles’ books. I read them in the wrong order – but either way, I have fallen in love. I fell in love with his writing style. The characters in his books. The perfect way he travels…

THE NIGHT PORTRAIT BY: LAURA MORELLI
Dreamy … I really enjoyed this dreamy, time traveling story of WWII. There were a lot of characters to keep up with, four in total, and that was slightly over whelming to begin with. Eventually you get to know the characters and follow along. The dates at the beginning of the chapters I started to…

MAGIC LESSONS (PRACTICAL MAGIC, #0.1) BY: ALICE HOFFMAN
I’m sorry it took me so long to write a review on this one because it really was so so good. Sometimes there are books that you finish reading and just whip out a review, easy peasy. This one felt different. It stuck with me. I couldn’t dive right into another book easily. I had…
