Attachments by Rainbow Rowell
Attachments is the first adult novel written by Rainbow Rowell that I've read. But it has the same playful yet serious spirit that I've come to love from her other novels. It's 1999 and Lincoln is living back at home with his mother in Nebraska. He's about 28 and has gotten a job at the local newspaper... Continue Reading →
My Cousin Rachel by Daphne du Maurier
I read My Cousin Rachel in anticipation of the movie released this summer and now I cannot wait to watch it! Originally published in 1951, this is a period piece that felt like a gothic masterpiece.

The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron
Can you believe that I've been referencing The Artist's Way for over six months and hadn't even read it?!

The Perfect Stranger by Megan Miranda
I guess summer is the perfect time for me to read book by Megan Miranda, because last summer's read of All The Missing Girls set me up to have high expectations for this one -- and it definitely held up its end of the bargain!

Hello From the Other Side
Hi Friends! It's been a while since I've written - eek! If you've been following me for a while, you might have noticed that I go through phases. At times I'm reading like a fiend - other times? Not so much. When I'm not reading, I'm usually doing something like knitting or quilting -- which... Continue Reading →
