If your therapist started writing chick-lit, this is what you’d get.

Things You Save In A Fire by Katherine Center

June 18, 2022 by RaRaGabor Leave a Comment

This is the second Katherine Center book I’ve read. My book club read How To Walk Away a couple years ago. It was fine! Not my usual cup of tea, but we actually had a good discussion around disability, the ethics that therapists should/do follow, etc. I thought Things You Save In A Fire might be a good addition for the Beach Reads presentation that I’m doing for work. Cassie Hanwell is a 26 year old fire fighter. She’s also a rising star in the […]

You had me at “Thelma and Louise”

Hadley & Grace by Suzanne Redfearn

February 26, 2021 by Siskel101 Leave a Comment

I have to confess that I was drawn to this book by the comparisons to Thema and Louise by reviewers and the fact that it was free thanks to my Kindle Unlimited subscription.  The book doesn’t quite succeed in living up to the Thelma and Louise hype but I still found it entertaining. First we have Hadley (aka Budget Thelma), a woman in an abusive marriage.  Needing to escape , Hadley flees with her daughter and special needs nephew, knowing it might be her only […]

Oh, it’s a SERIES…. oops.

The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory

December 4, 2019 by kella Leave a Comment

I did not realize until I was finished this book, that it’s actually #2 in a series. It didn’t really matter in terms of this story, but there’s a part of me that gets really irked by reading books out of order (even if the connection is loose). The Proposal starts at a Dodgers game, where Nikole is surprised by a scoreboard proposal from her boyfriend of five months… in which he even spelt her name wrong. She has no problem refusing the proposal, but an […]

Another trip to En Zed

Just Come Over by Rosalind James

October 25, 2019 by KatSings 2 Comments

Bingo Update: This is my Birthday square. Rosalind James’ birthday is July 28th. Look, you guys know the drill here. I adore this big dumb series. I know exactly how it will end before I get to the end of the first chapter, and I don’t care a whit. I love travelling to New Zealand in my mind and spending time with these characters, even with as trite and predictable and genre-fied as the stories can be. This is more of the same, so if […]

Book Felt Up and Down While Reading

What I Remember Most by Cathy Lamb

October 15, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Trigger warning: Depicts incidents of physical abuse of a child So this one was my least favorite out of my Cathy Lamb reading spree. I think the problem is that the main character (Grenadine) doesn’t even sound similar to the headstrong girl and then young adult we hear about via CPS reports and then court proceedings. I think that Lamb didn’t think that through enough when she set this up. She wanted I think to have a book about a wife in hiding from her […]
