Reconstructing Ameila by Kimberly McCreight was one of my reads on our Rosemary Beach trip. It was good, albeit a tish disturbing for a parent with its whole “how well do you really know your kid” kind of thing. I would recommend it as a quick read, especially if you like Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl… Read More
It’s been a while since I found and devoured such a delicious young adult series :-) The best way I can think to describe The Selection Series by Kiera Cass is Hunger Games meets the Bachelor.

Life After Life by Kate Atkinson took me a lot longer than usual to get into.

The latest victims were two by Liane Moriarty. The Husband’s Secret was immediately engaging. I mean, just the premise of compromising secret written down to be found… Read More

The last of my hurt-my-ankle-stuck-at-home reads was Where’d You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple. It was pretty darn funny. I mean, sometimes I’d laugh out loud at really inappropriate times (ie. in the waiting room of the ortho). I loved that Bernadette was bright and quirky and left her job to be a stay at… Read More
