I grabbed this book from Edelweiss because the premise was so interesting. What if you could get a do over simply by updating your Facebook status? Although the writing did not flow very well, the story itself started out strong as we are dropped into the hours before the wedding rehearsal dinner. The devastation of […]

Maybe In Another Life By Taylor Jenkins Reid
The idea of fate is so fascinating to me and Maybe In Another Life really prods at the thought that I think everyone has, the thought of what if? Do small decisions impact the big things in our own life? Hannah is kind of a mess and still hasn’t quite found her place in the […]
We Never Asked For Wings By Vanessa Diffenbaugh
I have been waiting forever, it seems, for a second book from Vanessa Diffenbaugh. The Language of Flowers sticks in my mind to this day, so I was eager to start reading We Never Asked For Wings. Once again, Vanessa Diffenbaugh has created a family that is flawed and struggling, and I was captivated by […]
The Queen Of The Tearling By Erika Johansen
I am glad that I gave this book a little space before I read it. The trouble with hyped books is that it’s pretty hard to avoid influence while everyone is talking about it. I felt like I was able to read it and really appreciate it this way, and I did. I really […]
Ex Libris Audio: Red Rising
There are books that lend themselves well to the audio format, and some that are perhaps better when read. I think that Red Rising falls into the latter category. The extreme details and references to locations (the print version had a map) made me wish I had the book. I found myself vacillating between fascination […]
Ex Libris Audio: The Martian
I could go on for hours and hours about how well Andy Weir captured NASA. The bureaucracy, the passion of the engineers, the disdain the astronauts have for being told what to do…..all of it created a world that, while set in a place where NASA was adequately funded, is still realistic. At its core, […]
The Thunder of Giants By Joel Fishbane
I love books that combine historical facts with fiction, and The Thunder of Giants was such an unusual story, that I couldn’t pass it up. In alternating stores, we read about two “giants” Anna and Andorra, both over seven feet tall, who lived in different centuries. Their lives had many similarities, however. I think I […]
Hotel Moscow By Talia Carner
Based loosely on the author’s own experiences, Hotel Moscow paints a very interesting, but somewhat terrifying, portrait of a country undergoing violent and profound change. Right away, Brooke learns that being an American will not protect her in a country that seems to be without laws or governance. The dangerous experiences continue as she faces […]
Blog Tour: The Memory Painter
Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for The Memory Painter by Gwendolyn Womack! I loved this book and I’m sharing some of my thoughts today, as well as an interview with the author. Don’t forget to enter the giveaway at the bottom of the post! The Memory Painter was part medical thriller, […]
The Bookseller By Cynthia Swanson
The Bookseller is being compared to Sliding Doors, and it definitely had that feel to it. In one life, Kitty owns a small, barely successful book store with her best friend. Both ladies are unmarried and happy in their quiet lives. When Kitty sleeps, she enters a very real dream world where she is […]
