How Could She by Lauren Mechling is the perfect palate cleanser after reading two tomes in a row about the Tudors. Defiantly contemporary, it’s the story of three friends. Or maybe, frenemies? It’s a blurred line. Rachel, Sunny, and Geraldine all met in Toronto when they worked for the same magazine. Later both Sunny and Rachel moved on to Manhattan in pursuit of their media ...

Untamed by Glennon Doyle
Several weeks ago, I enthused about a novel that I thought was outstanding even though it was DARK (The Road, which I would not recommend reading anytime soon). Now I’m back to balance the scales by going full-on evangelical about a book so bright it glows.

I need to feel some bookish ... Read More...

I wasn’t able to review all of them then so am starting 2020 with 3 options that were good, better, and best. If you’re a true crime fan then American Predator ... Read More...

Hello to the first Monday in the new year! Did you all survive the holidays relatively intact? Or, with intact relatives? Congrats on either one. I had a nice mix of family and reading time and am ready for a new decade of reading. Here's what's up for this week. Currently Reading The Gimmicks is far from my normal choice of book.
