    by Joli February 16, 2017
    by Joli February 16, 2017

    Before I get into my review of this lovely memoir, I have to preface this post with with some words about my own life, as my personal life greatly influences how this book made me feel. 3.5 weeks ago, I …

    Review: The Nightingale

    by Janna February 11, 2017
    by Janna February 11, 2017

    I read The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah for my October book club….which was awhile ago, but it was so good it still warrants a review four months later. Vianne and Isabelle could not be more different. Isabelle is young and …

    Review: Dragon Springs Road

    by Aubrey February 3, 2017
    by Aubrey February 3, 2017

    This book has a beautiful cover. I’m a sucker for a beautiful anything, but especially a well-designed book jacket. So after reading the description for this one — and then seeing the cover — I was ready to dive in. …

    Review: Her Every Fear

    by Janna January 19, 2017
    by Janna January 19, 2017

    What a weird coincidence. I had just finished Peter Swanson’s The Kind Worth Killing a day before I received his newest novel, Her Every Fear, in the mail from TLC Book Tours. I hadn’t realized either book was written by …

    Review: Orphan Train

    by Joli January 12, 2017
    by Joli January 12, 2017

    I have to admit, I cheated a little on this review. When I saw Orphan Train on a book tour list ahead of Kline’s upcoming new release, A Piece of the World, I had to choose them both, even though …

    Book Review: A Gentleman in Moscow

    by Aubrey December 5, 2016
    by Aubrey December 5, 2016

    I’m having a serious like-dislike relationship with Amor Towles’s A Gentleman in Moscow. While I really loved parts of it, there were parts I really disliked too. A Gentleman in Moscow begins in post-WWI Russia. It opens in a courtroom, …

    Book Review: Miller’s Valley

    by Kathleen November 9, 2016
    by Kathleen November 9, 2016

    In a story that’s at once sprawling and hyper-local, Anna Quindlen renders an immensely likable main character. Our narrator is a girl, bound-and-determined to both hold on to the dearest things, and to shake off the oppressive habits of her family’s …

    Book Review: Excellent Women

    by Aubrey October 28, 2016
    by Aubrey October 28, 2016

    Where to begin?! I absolutely adored this book. It’s full of interesting women, clever observations, and examines important issues regarding women in the 1950s. I had never heard of it before, and read it completely on a whim when it …
