My thoughts and feelings on (but really recaps of) the books I’m reading
This book was not on my to-read list until it was chosen for a book club I’m in, but I voted for it over a few others because it sounded equally intriguing and different from my usual. Sadly, I did not even come close to finishing it in time to discuss with said book club–I’m … More Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine
I used to devour books with teen summer romances and supernatural star-crossed lovers; now I love reading about messy adult relationships and complicated family dynamics. Go figure! (But, let’s be honest: I still enjoy the first two categories from time to time.) With a notably more serious tone than many other Keyes books I’ve enjoyed, … More Grown Ups (+ Mean Girls, kind of)
It took me a l o o o o o o n g g g g g time to finish this book / get back into Reading Mode in 2024, mostly because I was only able to read one chapter (two max) before bed each night, mostly because that is literally the only time I … More Promise Me
I ended 2022 with such immense pride in how many books I read in one year, but I ended 2023 with kind of the opposite feeling. Don’t get me wrong, 20 books is nothing to sneeze at, it’s just not what I’d hoped for for myself–damn kids got in the way, and when they weren’t … More The Jolliest Bunch: Unhinged Holiday Stories
This book started off kind of slow. I wasn’t entirely sure which way the plot was going or what it was really about for about the first third of the story, then all of a sudden I absolutely had to know what was going to happen next. I guess that’s a sign of a well-written … More True Colors
You might be under the impression that I haven’t finished a book in over three months, and but I assure you that that is not the case. I have now finished FIVE whole books since my baby was born, it’s just that two of those five happen to be part of two different series and … More How Do I Un-Remember This? Unfortunately True Stories
I read a whole lot of silly books, but this one may take the cake in terms of ridiculous plot. It’s just trying to be too many things at once: a quick chick lit beach read, a “remake” of the movie Sabrina with references to it throughout, and a very serious (fictional) story about Nazis. … More The Audrey Hepburn Estate
Well now I have about a dozen more books to add to my Goodreads Want To Read list because apparently I like Jojo Moyes. I had no idea she fell into my favorite genre: silly British chick lit! She’s not quite as silly as Sophie Kinsella or Jill Mansell, to be fair, but still. Samantha … More Someone Else’s Shoes
