Homecoming King by Penny Reid
Drama King by Penny Reid
I'm just going to admit up front that I find Penny Reid's books totally delightful. I started out in the Knitting in the City series, and have read everything I could get my hands on since. So perhaps I'm not entirely objective when reviewing this latest series, but again, they've really worked … [Read more]
Saga (Vol. 1) by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples
As someone on the outside of the comic book world looking in, Saga has always been one of those comics (like Watchmen or Akira) that seems universally loved by fans and respected by critics.

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
This Time Tomorrow by Emma Straub
Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel
The Candy House by Jennifer Egan

The Exiles by Jane Harper
It’s been a while since I read The Dry, Jane Harper’s first Aaron Falk novel. I feel like he is a kinder, gentler Falk in this novel - although my memory could be faulty, and his circumstances are certainly a lot less.. button-pushy this time round. In the past, I have struggled with cultural … [Read more]
The Return Journeys (The Road Trip, #1.5) by Beth O'Leary
Wow. Only 10 pages long, but this actually made me like Marcus. Who knew. Seriously though, this was funny. If you haven't read "The Road Trip" you won't get this at all, but this takes place after the wedding. A great way to follow up with Addie and Dylan. I seriously wanted to read more when I was … [Read more]
