What are- books you should NOT read while pregnant…

Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty

Do Not Become Alarmed  by Maile Meloy

by Leave a Comment

CBR11 Listicles: Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty Goodreads Top 20 Books of 2016 I am doing a terrible job planning my Bingo scorecard. I had a much clearer plan of attack last year but am mostly playing it by ear this year. Luckily I was able to stumble into a square with a reread of Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty since it appeared on Goodreads Top. After reading Nine Perfect Strangers and being… underwhelmed… I decided to read something else by Liane Moriarty and decided on Truly Madly Guilty because it gets less play than Big Little Lies. Something happened at the last minute barbecue Vid […]

Deeper Than I Expected

The Last Anniversary by Liane Moriarty

by Leave a Comment

Best for: Fans of Liane Moriarty, fans of mysteries that unfold in unexpected ways, and fans of books that go a little deeper than you might expect. In a nutshell: Alice and Jack Munro abandoned their baby girl – named Enigma – 70 years ago. She’s now a grandmother, and one of the sisters who rescued her has died, leaving behind some unfinished business. Worth quoting: “If her back had ever hurt like this when she was twenty she would have been hysterical, demanding painkillers and cups of tea in bed, but she has found that nobody is especially surprised […]

She Did It Again

Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty

by Leave a Comment

BINGO: Listicle (ELLE magazine Best Fall Books 2018) Best for: People who like Liane Moriarty books. In a nutshell: Nine people arrive at a health retreat looking for change. They find a little more than that. Worth quoting: “The first was a woman … wearing an oversized, brand-new-looking whit t-shirt that hung almost to her knees over black leggings, the standard outfit for an average-sized woman who starts a new exercise program and thinks her perfectly normal body should be hidden.” Why I chose it: I have been waiting for this to come out in paperback and huzzah! It was […]

Two Star Reviews

Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty

White Houses by Amy Bloom

The Favorite Sister by Jessica Knoll

The Widow by Fiona Barton

Tonight’s reviews will focus on books that were a little … disappointing because I have to write those reviews at some point and now is as good a time as any. At least my first lackluster books checks off a few Bingo boxes! CBR Bingo: Reading TBR Nine Perfect Strangers, Liane Moriarty I put Nine Perfect Strangers on my TBR two months before its release and bought a copy within a week of its debut yet somehow it took me seven months to pick it up and an additional two months to finish it. There are a few reasons for […]

Have a genuinely life-changing experience at Tranquillum House

Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty

by Leave a Comment

After coming across Big Little Lies back in 2015, I’ve read most if not all of Liane Moriarty’s books. When I saw that Moriarty had written a new novel, Nine Perfect Strangers (2018), I immediately got myself on the wait list. Like her other books, I found this one very readable and interesting. I was happy to see Moriarty switch up her format a little bit and not lead with a mysterious “big event” and then show what lead up to it. Moriarty did a good job in creating memorable characters, but there may have been a few too many for me to feel […]

In which Liane Moriarty comes off as a grumpy old lady (sorry Liane)

Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty

by Leave a Comment

I am probably the last person on this site to review this book, but I doubt I’m the only one who spent the whole time envisioning Liane Moriarty ranting about millennials spending all their money on avocado toast as she penned this “whodunnit” full of young people whining about social media and body issues as a pleasantly plump writer gets trashed by reviewers. And ohmigod the Russian villain. Hold on, I’m changing my 3 star rating to a 2. “I don’t get the obsession with strangers, her first husband, Sol, once said to her, and Frances had struggled to explain […]

This wasn’t God’s work. This was a health resort.

Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty

by 2 Comments

I guess that I first have to admit to never reading any of Liane Moriarty’s books before. I did thoroughly enjoy the television adaptation of “Big Little Lies” but I think I just assumed that her books would be those that I like to classify as “better to watch than read.” I don’t think that I was either fair or correct about that. At least about this book.  This was a page turner. I really had no expectation that I would enjoy it as much as I did after it was selected by my book club. That is often the […]

Her husband’s secret could destroy multiple families AND This one will be their last anniversary

The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty

The Last Anniversary by Liane Moriarty

by Leave a Comment

So my sister has been reading and recommending to me Liane Moriarty books for a few years.  I have sooo many books on my TBR list, so it took me a while to get started.  I found this one on my library’s audiobook loan list.  Not only was it an awesome book, it was read by an Australian, so it sounded even more awesome.  I was listening to this book in my car and while I walked my dog at night around the park.  I’m all in now though! Anyway, there are a few main characters in this book, and […]
