“But the love of sisters needs no words. It does not depend on memories, or mementos, or proof. It runs as deep as a heartbeat. It is as ever present as a pulse.”― Lisa Wingate I think as readers we have all had that experience were we get totally immersed in a book. It doesn't happen…
Review: Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts
“She wrapped her hand around her mother's ankh and thought, Maybe. Maybe this was how the goggles worked. What if her mother was silver, heavy and cool on a cord against her chest - and part of the floor, and part of the air, in the world, always, in the details, in everything Dorry was…
Review: The Flight Girls
“How some of us stay the path, others remain tormented, letting the pain devour them, and still others find a new route—different from the original—but somehow just as satisfying.”― Noelle Salazar I was pleasantly surprised by The Flight Girls.

Book Review: Eat, Pray, Love
"I'm choosing happiness over suffering, I know I am. I'm making space for the unknown future to fill up my life with yet-to-come surprises." ~ Elizabeth Gilbert So unlike me to be totally behind the times, right?! I was younger when this book came out, and I don't think it was yet on my radar…

Review: The Hating Game by Sally Thorne
“I want to know what’s going on in your brain. I want to juice your head like a lemon.”― Sally Thorne Alright, so this book made me laugh. I have found myself on the search for rom/com type books lately (so my post about The Flatshare) as a means to escape the anxiety of our crazy…

Review: Himself by Jess Kidd
It is the smell of a million mould-blossomed pages, of a thousand decaying bindings, of a universe of dead words.”― Jess Kidd Himself by Jess Kidd sits upon my shelf waiting to be reread. I've pushed it upon friends, and brought it back home and though it has been a year or so since I read…
Review: The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary
“We're so overdressed for a daytime event about crochet.” ― Beth O'Leary Alright, so I had planned to first share some of the books I had read awhile ago, and work up to the recent ones, but oh my goodness people need a pick up right now and here it is! The Flatshare is just the…
