When I was a junior in high school, I hung out in the library A LOT – during study hall if I could get a pass, and always during lunch. My friends and I would sit in the back pretending to do work, but really eating snacks and chatting about anything but school. In booksContinue reading “Leaving Time”

Super Attractor
My first introduction to the Law of Attraction came by way of The Secret, which was published in 2006. Although I can’t confirm the year I read it, I’m pretty sure I wasn’t a teenager. If by some chance you’ve never heard of it (is that even possible?) the basic premise is to be gratefulContinue reading “Super Attractor”
Goodnight Beautiful
Misery (Stephen King) and The Woman in the Window (A. J. Finn) fans rejoice – this is your book! If I’m honest, the synopsis for Goodnight Beautiful does not do the book justice. So if you’re someone who glanced at the golden cover, took a peek inside, and decided to go after something more…captivating, goContinue reading “Goodnight Beautiful”
The Night Swim
Book of the Month Club (BOTM) describes this read as “a thriller for those who eat, sleep, and breathe true crime.” I have to agree that is an excellent choice of words. I loved how the structure includes first-person narration, letter, and podcast. Okay, so maybe in my very first blog post I may haveContinue reading “The Night Swim”
Anxious People
Contemporary fiction is not really my jam. I’ll read it, but it takes a while; I can’t blow through it like I would say, T.M. Logan’s The Vacation. I thought I’d give Fredrik Blackman’s Anxious People a try because it sounded interesting/funny and received a lot of praise. About 37 pages in, I started toContinue reading “Anxious People”
The Vacation
Every so often I get a case of reading fatigue – where I literally can’t sit still long enough to read a page. It happened again just last week when I was trying to finish up a couple of books I got from the Book of the Month club (BOTM). Try as I might, IContinue reading “The Vacation”
I Will Teach You To Be Rich
Money is such a taboo topic. People rarely talk about it, and when they do, it’s usually to complain about how little they have or how much things cost. It’s rare to have money linked with positivity. It’s more common to hear that “money is the root of all evil,” or that people who haveContinue reading “I Will Teach You To Be Rich”
The Book of Two Ways
Warning: This review contains what some may consider spoilers. Read on at your own risk! I don’t like surprises. That’s why I prefer to read paperbacks; when things get grim, you can flip ahead and read the ending – just to make sure everything turns out okay. That’s not exactly the case with audiobooks, whichContinue reading “The Book of Two Ways”
If You Tell
Pre-COVID – that’s pretty much how we talk about things now, isn’t it? The before and the now – I’d walk to the library once or twice a week to get a new haul of books. At the time, it was conveniently located across the parking lot from my job, which made for a niceContinue reading “If You Tell”
