I picked up “Sh*t my dad says” from my parents’ bookcase while looking for an easy book to read on my flight home. I started reading the 150-page book the day before the flight and finished it a couple of hours later. So it’s an easy read. Justin Halpern started tweeting about his dad and the sh*t he said a few years ago. His twitter account exploded with followers, who thought his dad was hilarious. He then wrote a book about it, filled with […]
Oh baby
I picked up Bridget Jones’ baby on a whim while on a 6-hour layover. After the behemoth that was the Southern Reach trilogy I needed something light and fun. And this book was both. I don’t think I’ve read all three previous Bridget Jones books but that didn’t matter. I gathered pretty quickly that Bridget used to be engaged to Mark and that they broke off the engagement because of Daniel Cleaver. This takes place five years later. Bridget is single and about to […]
Completely fine. 100% fine. a thousand percent fine.
Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine is the debut novel for author Gail Honeyman. The book rights have sold for huge sums worldwide and the movie rights now belong to Reese Witherspoon’s new company Hello Sunshine. In writing Eleanor, Honeyman has created a character I would love to get to know – She is unfiltered, forthright, smart, funny and profoundly lonely. Eleanor has no interpersonal skills, no social skills, no concept of what opportunities life could hold for her and she is very very real, there […]
Pride and Prejudice…. if the Bennetts were worse than the original
First, a disclaimer. I LOVE me some Pride and Prejudice. I own several copies of the book, I love both the BBC miniseries, and the Kiera Knightly movie. I have a scarf printed with text from the book. I have read many of the modern ‘spinoff’ novels, and have enjoyed most of them. So when I saw Eligible in the Charlotte airport while looking for a book to kill time during an unexpected layover, it was a no-brainer for me. All that to say….. meh. […]
The key to great horror
Okay so, the version of this I added to my audiobook queue actually turned out to be the audio drama version, which I was not expecting. Thus there’s a chance it’s a bit different than the printed version due to the fact it was all told in dialogue. However, I will definitely say if you can get your hands on the audio drama, grab it. The voice acting was great and had some decent talent behind it (including Haley Joel Osment and Stephen King). […]
Simply put, Evelyn Abbey is my former almost-girlfriend-turned-archnemesis-turned-tentative ally whom I would now very much like to permanently seduce
4.5 stars Carter Aaron and Evelyn “Evie” Abbey (nicknamed Evil by Carter shortly after their first meeting due to her nefarious and wicked laugh) meet at an early Halloween party. They seem to be the only single people in a sea of couples, and both drift towards a corner of the room away from the “marrieds”, discovering that they coincidentally both came in Harry Potter costumes. Hitting it off instantly, their enthusiasm towards one another wanes a bit when they find out they are both […]
