ANXIOUS PEOPLE BY: FREDRIK BACKMAN
First off, I LOVE FREDRIK BACKMAN. I’ve read a few of his books. A Man Called Ove touched me so much I named my jeep after Ove. I normally love his books and how he pulls at the reader’s heart strings and brings humor into sometimes not very humorous situations. That being said, I STRUGGLED…

APPLES NEVER FALL BY: LIANE MORIARTY
I have loved Moriarty’s previous projects, but I have to admit .. I have only ‘watched’ them. This is my first time picking up a Moriarty book and honestly, not that impressed. Yes, I did read the whole thing but it was such a slow burn with a dud of an ending, I wish I…

The Paris Apartment By: Lucy Foley
Starting this review off with a plea, ‘Don’t be mad at me!’ I do feel a slight moral obligation to be real with you about the books I read. First bit of truth I need to give you is, dang this book was HYPED UP. …. and it did not live up to said hype. What…

GWENDY’S MAGIC FEATHER BY: RICHARD CHIZMAR, STEPHEN KING

TROUBLES IN PARADISE (PARADISE, #3) BY: ELIN HILDERBRAND
Disappointed. SO, disappointed. I started with the first book and got hooked. The story line was great, I loved all the characters and Hilderbrand left readers wondering at the end. The second book was meh, I was thinking ‘okay, she’s just trying to bridge us to the big finale for the third book.’ WRONG. I…

BEAUTIFUL WORLD, WHERE ARE YOU BY: SALLY ROONEY
I can already hear all the critics praising this profound novel and then I think … did they even read it? I will admit I did not read Normal People but I did watch the Hulu adaptation of it and found it was enjoyable. I now see how Rooney was able to make a series out of her books.…

Tom Lake By: Ann Patchett
Absolutely beautiful book about a mother telling her children about a love interest turned great movie star. You can’t say this book isn’t well written. It is. It’s beautiful. I found real peace while reading and even though winter is hitting us now, I longed for the warmth of the Michigan summers. The idea of…
