The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion This book made me laugh out loud several times. I found it to be so much fun with such an insightful look into the neurodivergent character (autistic spectrum). The Premise: Don Tillman is a bit particular about things and self-identified as socially awkward. He would like to get married,... Continue Reading →

A Good Girls Guide to Murder
A Good Girls Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson As I have mentioned before, I’m not a huge fan of the YA (young adult) genre, but I find a good one can be a perfect summer read. YA tends to be lighter reading (even if the topics are on the serious side), and the teens... Continue Reading →
Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots
Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots Super Heroes and Henchmen…not my typical go-to topic, but something about this just sounded fun. And it was!! The Premise: Anna is just a lowly temp, doing office work for Villains. It’s not a bad gig, until she ends up on a field assignment and is badly injured by a... Continue Reading →
The Nest
The Nest by Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney This was a reread for me, and I can’t even tell you for certain why I picked it back up, but I think it may have just been the pretty cover. I don’t think I cared for it too much on the first read, but I did enjoy it... Continue Reading →
Everyone is Beautiful
Everyone is Beautiful by Katherine Center My work book club picked this for our February read. I am a big Katherine Center fan. In fact, I think this is the 4th book of hers I’ve read. While this was not my favorite of her books, it did have me laughing in the beginning, worried... Continue Reading →
The Kingdom
The Kingdom by Jess Rothenberg I don’t often pick up Young Adult (YA) books, but I heard good things about this one and decided to give it a go. The Premise: The Stepford Wives go to Disney World. The narration bounces around in time. We know Ana has been tried for murder, and we slowly... Continue Reading →
The Year of Magical Thinking
The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion The only reason I picked up this book is because it was a suggested flight pick for a Modern Mrs Darcy Book Club book. I love a good memoir, but the catalyst for this just sounded a little too morose…and it was. While there were parts of... Continue Reading →
It Ends With Us
It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover This was not the book I expected, but that’s okay. I expected something a little more “thriller” after reading her book Verity. That is not what this is. Trigger warning - domestic violence. The Premise: This is the story of Lily and the two loves of her life. ... Continue Reading →
The Book That Matters Most
The Book That Matters Most by Ann Hood I love a book about books, but you probably know that already. The Book that Matters Most was no exception. However, before I recommend this one to you, I must give a trigger warning - this book discusses some pretty heavy drug use and suicide. I am... Continue Reading →
