Fishbowl
by Bradley Somer

Thinking Outside the Bowl (1/20/2016)

Such a creative take on life. The writing was well done and the characters were interesting and flawed, yet still likable. Such a cool book. Wish more people were reading this!!

The Nature of the Beast: A Chief Inspector Gamache Novel, #11
by Louise Penny

Best of Series! (1/5/2016)

I have read all of Louise Penny's novels, and this ranks at the top!

All My Puny Sorrows
by Miriam Toews

excellent (6/17/2015)

This is a wonderful novel. Extremely moving and sad, and funny. Toews characters are so well written that I felt that I knew them. This would make a great book club read. A lot of discussion would for sure follow, but also quite depressing.

A Spool of Blue Thread
by Anne Tyler

Not her Best (6/17/2015)

This Is Where I Leave You
by Jonathan Tropper

excellent (5/29/2015)

I read this book a ways back, before a movie was made, and recommended it to every person I knew. I have read other novels by Tropper, and this has held up to be my favorite. Interesting story, sympathetic characters, and a very likable main man. Laughed aloud at times, and …more

The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake: A Novel
by Aimee Bender

One of my Favs (5/29/2015)

Loved this book. Dark. Creative. The characters were just so well conceived in my opinion. I tend to like off the wall books, and ones that focus on "random" people, and this was completely up my alley. Will definitely read more from this author!!!
