I liked Ruth Ware's first two books The Woman in Cabin 10 and In a Dark, Dark Wood, so I wanted to read her newest book at the end of last summer, The Lying Game. This ended up being my favorite book out of all 3 of her books. Isa, Kate, Thea, and Fatima were classmates and best …
My favorite book of 2017: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
After reading After I Do and Maybe in Another Life by Taylor Jenkins Reid, I had The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo on my "To Read" list. The summary did not sound like something I really wanted to read, because I usually choose to read books that take place in a more current time period. I kept putting this …

Book review: The Identicals by Elin Hilderbrand-light and easy beach read
I always enjoy a light Elin Hilderbrand book when my schedule is lighter and life is a bit easier in the summer. The Identicals came out last summer of 2017. Elin Hilderbrand's novels are usually quick and easy books set in Nantucket. I've never been to New England, but I would love to visit there someday …

Book Review: The Girls in the Garden by Lisa Jewell
The Girls in the Garden was intriguing and shocking! This book is a hard book to read if you have a teenager. It will make you second guess your teenager's stories, thoughts, and intentions. It gives you a glimpse into the minds of teens and their activities. The characters live in a communal garden square …

Book Review: It’s Always the Husband
This book was an interesting book with the title not really fitting the story in my opinion. The novel focuses on three unlikely friends, Kate, Aubrey, and Jenny and flashes between the beginning of their friendship at a prestigious college, Carlisle College, and then ends with the current situation of the present and a murder …
The Girl Before by JP Delaney
This book was a bit confusing to me. It went back and forth from Emma and Jane as narrators as they both had been tenants at One Folgate Street. Both characters are a bit unnerving and make some poor choices but their choices are a bit frustrating as a reader. The architect for One …
August end of summer reflections
At the end of every summer, I review our bucket list that we have made at the beginning of the summer and start to realize all of the things we did not get to do. This summer-we haven't taken the dog to swim at the local lake yet, we didn't have an adult party without …
Book review: A Fatal Inversion by Barbara Vine
Every day I get an email from BookBub giving me books that are free or on sale that are in the genres I like to read. A few weeks ago A Fatal Inversion by Barbara Vine came up as a suggestion. I read the summary on Amazon and on Goodreads and thought it sounded good. …

The novel is written by John Berendt who went to Savannah to interview the wealthy antique dealer, Jim Williams. In the midst of the interview, the …
