HOME BEFORE DARK BY: RILEY SAGER
Read in a matter of a few hours, it was THAT good. Great book. So, so good. While reading you have a sense that you’ve seen a movie just like this and it easily plays in your head. The writing is easy to follow and you soon pick up the pattern of going back and…

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 FORGOTTEN GARDEN BY: KATE MORTON
There is something about this book .. I can’t quite put into words … but whatever it is, it’s great. I loved this book. I loved how long it was, I love the journey I went on, I loved how I slowly found out about each characters, I loved how I bounded around in time…
