I recently finished The Rose Code by Kate Quinn and am sad it’s over. It is that wonderful kind of historical fiction that tells a fascinating story and effortlessly transports you to another place and time. I grew to love the characters and, once finished, found myself researching the women codebreakers in World War II.… Read More

I recently listed to the audio version of Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid and really enjoyed it. It was one of those books I had on in the car, while doing dishes, while walking, while making dinner, and so on and so forth. The narrator, Nicole Lewis, absolutely brought Emira to life, with… Read More

I was hesitant to pick it at the get-go due to lackluster reviews. I’m really glad I gave it a chance. Have you ever been wrong… Read More

I just finished up The Last Thing I Told You by Emily Arsenault. This psychological thriller is about the murder of a psychologist (of all things) in a quiet New England town. It was well written but not entirely captivating until the end. Was it worth listening to for 9 hours of what would have… Read More
