It was a fun trip!

Stranger Than Fanfiction by Chris Colfer

by Leave a Comment

Not gonna lie, I picked this up for the title first.  I’m an unashamed reader of fanfiction, so when I saw the clever title, I wanted to know more.  Then I read the back, and immediately knew this was for me!  (Fanfiction doesn’t actually play a huge role in this, though!) This is kind of in the same realm as Geekarella.  There’s a show that’s kind of geeky but has a strong cult following, and they both have conventions!  There are stars that love working on the show but not the fame as much, and there are older teens who […]

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 […]

Creepy People Gonna Creep…and a Girl is Gonna Disappear

I am Watching You by Teresa Driscoll

by Leave a Comment

Sarah and Anna are best friends, excited to be done school, ready to blow off some steam in the city before they take their A Levels later that summer.  Full of verve and vivacity, they catch the eye of Ella Longfield, a middle aged mom headed off to attend a florist’s convention.  They also catch the eye of two handsome young men that seem very taken by the ladies, buying them beer, flirting and to the horror of Ella, sharing honestly that they had both just been released from prison.  Having overheard where the girls are from, she considers calling […]

End of CBR10 panic post!!!

Only the Rain, Dead Even by Randall Silvis, Brad Meltzer

by Leave a Comment

So my December has been suuuper crazy.  Work is insane, and I’ve been trying to fit in reading with all the extra working I’ve been doing.  I’ve been falling asleep at night without reading, which is not normal for me.  Anyway, even when I have finished books, I haven’t had the time or energy to review them!  I write all day at work (nothing fun or exciting), so sometimes it’s hard to write these reviews after long days of work.  That’s why I’m shoving these two books together. These two books are semi similar in that the main couples don’t […]

Don’t read this book under any circumstances. Ever!

Don't Tell! by Tom Booth

by Leave a Comment

This book should be called, “Don’t read this book under any circumstances. Ever!”   Is there a rating score lower than one? Sadly, Don’t Tell! by Tom Booth has no story, no action and most importantly has a questionable ending: It is okay to tell a secret someone has asked you to keep. While that is not a black and white issue as, yes, bad secretes should be told but those “good secrets” should be kept. But what kind of secret is a good secret and can be told? (Probably fewer than we think). I will follow title of the […]

Where’d You Go, Maria Semple

Today Will Be Different by Maria Semple

by Leave a Comment

The more I think about this book the less I like it. Today Will Be Different is the story of a single day in the life of Eleanor Flood. Eleanor is trying to be the best version of herself. She has plans to make this day perfect. She is going to be present. She is going to be a better mom, a better wife, a better friend. Eleanor is not a bad person, she’s just a bit of a mess. But her plan begins to unravel when she has to walk out of her poetry class to take Timby (her […]

We Are Family, I Got All My Sisters With Me

The Secret Lives of the Amir Sisters by Nadiya Hussain

by 5 Comments

I love Nadiya Hussain. If you are a fan of The Great British Bake Off, you probably love her too. Nadiya was the winner in 2015, and she is, by all accounts the most popular winner in the history of the show. Charming, warm, funny, self-deprecating and gifted with a marvelously expressive face, she made all of us fall in love with her. Since winning TGBBO, Nadiya has published a cookbook (which I received as a surprise present last week from a lovely friend who lives in England), presented a TV show, baked a cake for the Queen, and appeared […]

Family Dinners Are Killer

Strangers by MIchaelbrent Collings

by Leave a Comment

We begin with an anniversary. A family prepares to mourn the one year loss of a son and brother but there are two problems–the family is so fractured that they don’t even want to be in the same room as each other and two, there’s a madman who plans on killing them all because of the secrets they are keeping from one another.  From the outside the family seems to have everything.  They have a loving dog, a gigantic house with all the fancy amenities, dad (the surgeon) drives a mercedes. The two surviving kids are the pictures of intelligence […]
