I can't seem to stop reading cute high school romance books even though they are really not my favorite. I thought the premise of this book sounded fun - a fish out of water story told from the boy's perspective - but when I cracked into it I know I emitted a loud sigh. High School was not...

I picked up Fred Van Lente's first books Ten Dead Comedians because I was searching for books for my annual Frighteningly Good Reads. The cover was adorably intriguing. I was pleasantly surprised by the caliber of the writing and subsequently not surprised at all to discover that Van Lente is a heavily published and popular comic... Continue Reading →
How much fun can you have seeing how the unimaginably rich live? The answer: A LOT. I read Kevin Kwan's Crazy Rich Asians more than a year ago and adored it. The story of Nick Young bringing his American-born Chinese girlfriend, Rachel, back to Singapore to meet his, ahem, "comfortably," rich family introduced me to... Continue Reading →
I don't remember adding this book to my to be read shelf and, honestly, I couldn't have told you what it was about at all. And so, it languished for years in TBR purgatory. But, since I am still deeply into my New Years resolutions I delved into it when I saw, by chance, that... Continue Reading →
My favorite book of 2018 was The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley. For me, it was like eating my favorite meal complete with a perfectly sized (but decadent) desert. Ms. Pulley's new book Bedlam Stacks was just as delicious although it lacked that certain little bit of sweet and depth that made Watchmaker such an ideal... Continue Reading →
I was surprised by how much I loved Where'd You Go Bernadette? and so when I saw that Marie Semple had a new book out I knew I would read it. I was even luckier to have the opportunity to enjoy the audiobook version of this book because the narrator, Kathleen Wilhoite, did an amazing job... Continue Reading →
I am going to confess something. I didn't want to read this book. I believe that I purchased it two years ago and started it only to quit three chapters in and shelf the book. If not for a combination of Frighteningly Good Reads and my 2018 Resolutions I probably would never have forced myself... Continue Reading →
This book came into my hands highly recommended and I only wish I could, in turn, place it directly into your hands. The characters alone have me cuddling the book tightly in my arms as I type. But the story...this story. Sigh. Well, there is a reason this book won both the Newberry Medal and... Continue Reading →
I always enjoy Sophie Kinsella's books. I have even featured her in an Author Obsession spotlight. Most people know her for her Shopoholic series but I vastly prefer the books she has written outside of Becky Bloomwood's insatiable thirst for things. I didn't even know Kinsella had a new book coming out until I ran across it... Continue Reading →
Two nights ago I heard a noise around one thirty in the morning. It was probably my cat, Merlin, but that was all it took to upset my sleep. Insomnia had me in its grip and I was up for hours. Thankfully, as always, there was a book to keep me company. I selected the... Continue Reading →
