Well, I ended up taking an unplanned break from blogging for a bit. Like 5 months. Whoops. I was still reading and all that jazz, just not posting. But I've missed it, so I've decided to finally jump back in with one of my RBTW book club picks for the month of May. And wow, … Continue reading The Husband’s Secret by Liane Moriarty (Spoilers)

Graceling by Kristin Cashore
Wow, I was so enchanted by this realm and these characters. What a fascinating world. It always amazes me how imaginative some authors can be. That's why I have no desire to write. I just don't have the capacity to create worlds like this. Or really anything that people would want to read... Graceling is … Continue reading Graceling by Kristin Cashore
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
Alright, so for this rotation in Reading Between the Wines (my real-world book club) we decided to do a round of favorites. We said that you should pick a book that falls in to your Top 5 favorites. I know, for us #booknerds it's always so hard to narrow it down. But I pitched … Continue reading A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
Follow Me Back by A.V.Geiger
THERE WILL BE SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW!!! I can't review this one and NOT TALK ABOUT THAT ENDING! Wow. Just wow. I bought this book because a couple of my fellow bloggers in the twitterverse/blogosphere were going crazy about it. I finally read the synopsis and decided I would check it out for myself, and … Continue reading Follow Me Back by A.V.Geiger
Not If I See You First by Eric Lindstrom
Okay, so I've mentioned before how I'll just purchase anything that's $3.00 or less (based off of those Goodreads Deals e-mails that I get) on the Kindle as long as the synopsis sounds fairly interesting. The problem with the inexpensive books is they tend to not be that great story-wise. The only real exception to … Continue reading Not If I See You First by Eric Lindstrom
Ticker by Lisa Mantchev
So people always ask me how I decide what books I'm going to read, and the simple answer to that question is PRICE, although I do also like a good synopsis. Goodreads is a fantastic site, as if I don't laud their praises enough, but they recently started this new thing called "Goodreads Deals" where … Continue reading Ticker by Lisa Mantchev
Tidewater by Libbie Hawker
WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNINGÂ If you're looking to read a story about Pocahontas that is just like the Disney movie, THIS IS NOT THE BOOK FOR YOU. But don't not give it a chance just because it's not what you're used to. I will admit that when I picked this book … Continue reading Tidewater by Libbie Hawker
Wife 22 by Melanie Gideon
Wow, I really loved this book. Melanie Gideon does an excellent job of capturing the real struggles of, not just a marriage with children involved, but marriage in and of itself. Alice Buckle, our main character, was totally relatable, at least to me, other than the fact that she is a creative person as sadly, … Continue reading Wife 22 by Melanie Gideon
The Body Reader by Anne Frasier
Four star rating for this one! Wow, this story had me engaged from the beginning all the way until the end. There is nothing I love more than a strong female lead, and Anne Frasier certainly delivered. The story starts with Jude Fontaine escaping from her captor after being held for three years. But it's not … Continue reading The Body Reader by Anne Frasier
