Seven Days of Us: A Novel
by Francesca Hornak
Great, Fun Read! (6/16/2017)
Seven Days of Us was a super lighthearted yet real & honest take on family life. We all have issues, we all have struggles with our family relationships, and at the end of the day we all love each other and want the best for one another and those relationships. Thismore
Castle of Water: A Novel
by Dane Huckelbridge
One of my 2016 favorites (12/20/2016)
Castle of Water was a truly wonderful reading experience & everything I look for in a novel! There are only 2 characters (we really don't hear from anyone else who is mentioned by name in the book) and yet I wasn't bored for one moment & was completely absorbed inmore
The Book That Matters Most: A Novel
by Ann Hood
Good summer read, but just ok (6/25/2016)
I really enjoyed this book for the first half but less so as it progressed. The Ava storyline started off well, but didn't move forward (constantly repeating the same lament about her husband), and her borderline indifference to the growing evidence of her daughter's issuesmore
Between the Tides
by Susannah Marren
Not For Me (4/15/2015)
I was disappointed in this novel. The subject matter is wonderful - but the execution came off flat to me. There were moments when the storyline jumped a ways ahead in just a sentence and instead of reading as "showing not telling", to me it came off as disjointed. I couldmore
Everybody Rise
by Stephanie Clifford
Excellent (3/15/2015)
I had a difficult time getting started with this book, and was uncertain of what to expect, but as I continued to read and adjusted to the voice of the main character, I began to fell in love and couldn't put it down. I found the main character to be written in such a waymore
Irritable Hearts: A PTSD Love Story
by Mac McClelland
Mixed Feelings! (1/6/2015)
I have mixed feelings about this book. I thoroughly enjoyed delving into PTSD - what does it look like, how does it feel, and how on earth does someone heal from it. On the other hand, the author had a unique and somewhat disturbing way of processing, which was unpleasantmore
The Same Sky
by Amanda Eyre Ward
Great Story, Easy Read (11/28/2014)
I really enjoyed reading "The Same Sky". I absolutely loved both of the storylines that are told - one of a Honduran immigrant trying to get to her mother in America, and one of a middle class woman trying to become a mother (in America). I thought I knew where the storiesmore
The Book of Strange New Things: A Novel
by Michel Faber
Very Interesting Read (9/1/2014)
One of the most interesting books I've ever encountered, but I alternated between loving and hating this book. It is difficult to even succinctly describe my thoughts on it! Ultimately I think this is a well written and thought provoking take on relationships, the meaningmore
