Sometimes you just want to escape into another world – this time sports, and tennis in particular.

Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid

September 25, 2023 by MegsDarcy Leave a Comment

Taylor Jenkins Reid has become a must-read for me when a new book is released. Her quick-wit, tight writing, and compelling characters always seem to keep me engaged and her newest book is no exception. One of my favourite aspects of Jenkins Reid books is the fact that her novels never really feel familiar. I don’t read them and get a sense of deja-vu of her past books (or anyone elses) although I always am able to quickly visualize the characters she is writing about […]

“I had absolutely no interest in being somebody else’s muse.”

Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

September 23, 2023 by Sophia Leave a Comment

I first noticed Daisy Jones & the Six (2019) by Taylor Jenkins Reid when I saw an ad for the new television series based on the book. It looked pretty entertaining, but I always like reading the book first. I put a hold in at my library and started waiting. I found this book to be a quick, entertaining read. We learn about the beginnings and endings of a popular band in the early 1970’s. I enjoyed that the entire story was told through interviews with the band, […]

A lovely novel taking you into the world of Old Hollywood an behind the imagined curtain of a Hollywood Starlet

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

August 29, 2023 by MegsDarcy Leave a Comment

Oh, I really loved this book. I honestly didn’t know what to expect when I picked it up at Costco of all places. Although it was originally published in 2017, Jenkins Reid is having a moment because of Daisy Jones and the Six and Netflix is supposedly turning this into something. It was in my pile of reads to enjoy while I was at the beach, or in a lawn chair, and could pick up and put down leisurely. Well, I read it in one […]

“Our family histories are simply stories. They are myths we create about the people who came before us, in order to make sense of ourselves.”

Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid

August 9, 2023 by ardaigle Leave a Comment

CBR Bingo – Dwelling I am a huuuuuuuge fan of Taylor Jenkins Reid. The first book of hers I consumed was the audio version of “Daisy Jones and the Six” which I loved 5000; the same can be said for everything else of hers I’ve read. She is pure MAGIC, an author who is so talented and adept at making historical fiction seem like non-fiction that I’m a little suspicious she may have gone down to Georgia and fiddled against the devil in order to […]

And it stuns me silent, for a moment: just how vast the gap is between who I am and how people see me.

Carrie Soto Is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid

CBR15 BINGO: (Hold Steady Square: The main character here desperately tries to hold steady. She is terrible at it.) This is a little like Daisy Jones and the Six but with tennis, and I’m not mad about it. Not trying to diminish Jenkins Reid’s writing here at all. She has a lane and she is staying in it: complex female characters who are unapologetically who they are. Can they learn from their mistakes? Sure. Can they open up a little and let people in? They can. What they […]

Tennis, Anyone?

Carrie Soto Is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid

May 17, 2023 by Melina Leave a Comment

I played a lot of sports in middle school and high school and somehow, I had never touched a tennis racket until about two years ago.  I promptly put that racket back after that first outing, because I was absolutely terrible.  I have read a lot of TJR’s books and really loved The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, I like Daisy Jones and the Six, and I enjoyed the rest of her oeuvre enough to read them on the beach. So it shouldn’t have been […]
