Cooler Than Mom Jeans, but Just as Comfortable
It's April, it's April!! Can you believe it? I'm still working on the books from last month's list -- I blame Candy Crush for taking over my spare time. Stupid game. I did read the Maeve Binchy and The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Frye. The Maeve was really great -- not one of the best books I've ever read, but cozy and fun, and it … [Read more...]
It's a new month, so that means new books. Yay!! I found some good ones that I'm pretty excited about. But first -- have you read any of my choices from January? I'd love to hear your thoughts. I've read all of them and just finished The Passage. It was super duper long, but I'm glad I stuck with it because it was so good!! I loved … [Read more...]
Happy New Year!! I've been doing LOTS of reading this month. I sit and feed Lucy a lot, and it's a perfect opportunity to catch up on books on my iPad. That's the dangerous thing about E Readers...you finish one book and can buy another right away!! I'm REALLY excited about some of the books I've already read from this … [Read more...]
Can you believe it's November already?? I'll be honest -- I've been so busy prepping for baby that I haven't read all the books on my October list yet. But I'm still working on them and have a whole list of books I found this month that I want to read too!! For those of you looking for something new to pick up, here's … [Read more...]
Have you read any of the books on the September Reading List yet? I finished Those We Love Most, by Lee Woodruff and really, really loved it. As a mother, parts were difficult to read, but I loved the insight into the different characters, and I was satisfied with the ending. I'd definitely recommend it, but be prepared for some … [Read more...]
Two of the books on my July Reading List were The Story of Beautiful Girl and Gold. I really liked both, but there was one that I'd definitely recommend more than the other, so here are my thoughts: The Story of Beautiful Girl is a book that takes place in 1968. A young white woman and a deaf black man are locked … [Read more...]
I'm really excited about this month's reading list!! I'm still finishing up the July books, and will be reviewing them very soon. But for now, here is what I am reading and recommending for this month. For the record, I've read several of these in the last couple of weeks. They're all great so … [Read more...]
I love thriller/mystery books but it seems like it gets harder and harder to find ones that really grab me and stand out. I used to read a lot of John Grisham and James Patterson, and although they both write excellent books, after you read a bunch of them they seem to run together. I came across Defending Jacob while browsing on my … [Read more...]
Awhile back, I posted on my Facebook page that I was reading The Night Circus. There was a lot of feedback--some positive (LOVED it), some negative (HATED it), and some curious. So, I thought I'd give my own opinion of the book for those of you who haven't given it a try yet. Personally, I loved it. There are some … [Read more...]
One of my favorite things about the Winter is snuggling up on the recliner with a soft blanket and a good book...or more often than not, my Nook color (which I love). Then my husband sits by me and talks about what just happened on the football game. Because after all these years, he still thinks that I not only pay attention to … [Read more...]
One present I always love is books. Even though I own an E Reader, there is really nothing like a brand new book with crisp pages and new book smell. Yes, I sniff my books. Is that weird? Anyways, if you're not a reader, it can be really hard to buy gifts for someone who is. Obviously, I recommend getting some info … [Read more...]
Let's face it. Regardless of HOW you may feel about it, Vampires are in style. I, for one, am pro Vampire. But if I were to meet one in real life, I would probably change my mind pretty darn quickly. You know...blood breath and fangs and all that jazz. Anyways, in honor of Breaking Dawn's big debut this week, I … [Read more...]
