    by Caleigh March 1, 2019
    by Caleigh March 1, 2019

    I received a copy of The Sisters Hemingway from William Morrow Paperbacks in exchange for an honest review. I brought it with me on my recent family vacation, and I have to say, it was pretty great timing. This novel …

    Review: Map of the Heart

    by Joli February 19, 2019
    by Joli February 19, 2019

    Every so often, I come across a romantic/women’s fiction read that I really like. I often find them too corny/frilly/predictable, but this one really was none of the above! This is my third review for Susan Wiggs, and definitely my …

    by Joli January 28, 2019
    by Joli January 28, 2019

    I love a good strong woman protagonist, and Learning to See definitely fit that description! This work of fiction is based on the real life of Dorothea Lange, a woman photographer in a time when a woman’s work was seen …

    Review: The Water Cure

    by Megan January 17, 2019
    by Megan January 17, 2019

    Sophie Mackintoshโ€™s newest novel, which was published just last week, has had the book community abuzz for months. Readers like me, who adore feminist dystopias, couldnโ€™t wait for this story. It’s been called an irresistible combination of The Handmaidโ€™s Tale …

    Review: The Hollow Middle

    by Caleigh January 16, 2019
    by Caleigh January 16, 2019

    The Hollow Middleย is a deep, character-driven novel that is masterfully crafted. I received a copy of the book from Unsolicited Press, in exchange for an honest review. Debut novelist (but no stranger to the world of print) Popielaski brings his …

    I’ll Be Your Blue Sky is a story of love and safety. This isn’t the first time that LQ has reviewed this book; Becky reviewed the hardcover release this March when it first came out. So thanks to TLC Book …

    Review: A Spark of Light

    by Megan November 29, 2018
    by Megan November 29, 2018

    Last year, after over a decade of ignoring Jodi Picoultโ€™s novels — discounting them as romance-y chick lit based on one that I read in college — I picked up Small Great Things. It blew me away. When I heard …

    Review: Family Trust

    by Megan November 13, 2018
    by Megan November 13, 2018

    The cover Family Trust is beautiful and eye-catching — the bright red a nod to the Chinese-American family it surrounds, the embossed gold design an indicator of their wealth. And, though itโ€™s enough to make anyone give it a second …

    Review: November Road

    by Joli October 24, 2018
    by Joli October 24, 2018

    I chose to read this book because I was looking for something different. Something purely entertaining. Something outside of my usual read. That’s what I got with November Road. This book starts with two seemingly completely unrelated people and slowly …
