    Review: Marrow by Elizabeth Lesser

    by Joli September 29, 2016
    by Joli September 29, 2016

    This book was well outside of my usual read, and I have to say, I’m really glad I chose this one! I grabbed it pretty quickly off of the TLC Book Tour list, even though nonfiction isn’t what I usually …

    Review: The Invoice

    by Joli September 24, 2016
    by Joli September 24, 2016

    I was so intrigued by this little book when I got it in the mail! It’s not often that a book comes in such a pint-sized binding. I loved the cover and was excited to dive in. At first, I …

    Audiobook Review: Just Kids

    by Kathleen September 22, 2016
    by Kathleen September 22, 2016

    I’ve been meaning to read Patti Smith’s National Book Award Winner for years. Finally, I downloaded Just Kids on Audible and quickly became immersed in the poet’s low and steady, yet evocative narration. The Story: Smith chronicles her relationship with the artist Robert …

    by Becky September 20, 2016
    by Becky September 20, 2016

    Why: I spend quite a bit of time in my car. My evening commute in particular can be quite lengthy and irritating. Admittedly, I was a skeptic of audiobooks. I started seeing Kathleen post some reviews on here and I …

    Review: Do Your Om Thing

    by Janna September 14, 2016
    by Janna September 14, 2016

    My yoga journey is a typical one. I first attended a yoga class, begrudgingly, with my mom. I liked it well enough and attended semi-regularly. Then, I moved around a lot for the next four years while in graduate school …

    Review: Natchez Burning by Greg Iles

    by Becky September 13, 2016
    by Becky September 13, 2016

    Why: It is hard for me to say I enjoy suspense novels because I associate them with being scary. That said, I truly love mysteries and the drama of putting pieces together to figure out how the story will play …

    by Janna August 29, 2016
    by Janna August 29, 2016

    What Alice Forgot was my first Liane Moriarty novel, but it definitely won’t be my last! Alice wakes up after hitting her head at the gym and has forgotten the last 10 years of her life. She doesn’t remember her …

    Review: Carry On by Lisa Fenn

    by Becky August 25, 2016
    by Becky August 25, 2016

    Why: I love books with personal connections. Ties that make the book come alive beyond the reach of even the best authors. When this book come up on the TLC tour schedule, I immediately saw an intriguing sports story with …

    by Joli August 24, 2016

    This was such a fun and original read! Kitchens of the Great Midwest pulled me in right away, and I loved it the whole way through. I had heard about this book in a couple different ways. I’m not sure …
