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!!

All My Puny Sorrows
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.

Not her Best (6/17/2015)

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!!!
