Maybe in Another Life
by Taylor Jenkins Reid
A refreshing adult read. (6/5/2015)
I was surprised by this book. It was fun, witty, romantic and totally enjoyable to read. I have been stuck on reading only YA novels, because a lot of writers that write for adults forget that we want to be made to feel, not just be given pointless descriptions that illicit no emotion...however Mrs. Taylor Jenkins Reid is not one of those writers that make me steer from adult novels. I will definitely read her other novels and look forward to reading anything else she may write in the future. And, lastly there may be other universes out there were I chose to read a James Patterson novel or something else equally as boring, and I feel sorry for every version of me that missed out on this book.
Lusitania: Triumph, Tragedy, and the End of the Edwardian Age
by Greg King, Penny Wilson
Detailed, beautiful and heartwrenchingly tragic. (12/30/2014)
We read breifly about this in my history class in high school. History remembers the Titanic well but the Lusitania is another tragic sea disaster that is equally real and full of loss. This book is brilliantly laid out and full of mesmerizing historical detail.
