Body Thrive by Cate Stillman This is technically a re-read, but now it takes on an all new meaning. I am now participating in Cate’s Body Thrive course, so I am working with her and her team, along with many other people who are also interested in living healthier. Working through Body Thrive is prep... Continue Reading →
A Dangerous Collaboration
A Dangerous Collaboration by Deanna Raybourn If you follow this blog, then you probably know that I love this book series. This is book 4 in the Veronica Speedwell Mystery series, and like the previous 3, it’s delectable. Actually, I will admit I enjoyed this one more than book 3, so that’s saying something! In...

Say You’re Sorry
Say You’re Sorry by Melinda Leigh This one was recommended to me by my husband. We don’t always have the same taste in books, but sometimes we do. This is a perfect example of the book stars aligning. There is a lot going on in this book, so it appeals to lovers of many genres.... Continue Reading →
The Testaments
The Testaments by Margaret Atwood I had been looking at this book on my shelf. I wanted to read it, but at the same time, I didn't. Once I read it, the story will be done and I just don’t want it to end. I loved The Handmaid’s Tale. The story was amazing. The characters... Continue Reading →
Such A Fun Age
Such A Fun Age by Kiley Reid This book has been getting lots of hype. And I have to say, I was a little under-whelmed while I read it, but now I keep finding myself thinking about it after the fact (a sure sign of a good book). The Premise: We have a privileged white... Continue Reading →
The Real Thing
The Real Thing by Ellen McCarthy A cute essay collection about love and relationships, written by a former wedding reporter. I found it enjoyable (for awhile), but I realized I’m not really a fan of essays. Therefore, I only made it about ½ way through before I called it quits. I typically don’t write about...

Judgment Detox
One of my reading goals for 2020 is to read more self development books. I decided to start with this one because it has been sitting on my shelf since it came out in 2018. In all honesty, I think I pre-ordered it to be sure I got it as soon as it came out,... Continue Reading →
The Stationary Shop
The Stationary Shop by Marjan Kamali This is such a beautiful book! I expected the story to be a little lighter than it was, but I’m not complaining! And, I have to mention, another great epigraph! “They slipped briskly into an intimacy from which they never recovered.” - F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise.... Continue Reading →
All We Ever Wanted
All We Ever Wanted by Emily Griffin What chaos one photograph can cause. The Premise: All it took was one inappropriate photo of a passed-out high-school student at a party to wreak havoc on the lives of all those involved. Lyla didn’t think she had drank that much, but ends up passed out at a... Continue Reading →
City of Girls
The City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert This is Gilbert’s newest release, from 2019. There was a lot of buzz about this one, which sometimes makes me nervous the book isn’t going to live up to the hype. Luckily, it does! The Premise: Vivian is 89 years old, telling the story of her life living... Continue Reading →
