In Case I Go by Angie Abdou

I always love it when I decide to read a book on a whim and find myself loving the story. That’s what happened here. I saw this sitting on the shelf of my local library and the synopsis, while sparse, was interesting enough that I decided to give it a shot. Synopsis: 10-year-old Eli and his…

Lies She Told by Cate Holahan

I received this novel as an advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I really like stories about writers, regardless of genre. While I am an avid reader, I have very little skill when it comes to writing anything. And believe me, I’ve tried. So I have a lot of respect for…

Dear Mr. M by Herman Koch

After reading The Dinner, I was anxiously waiting to get my hands on a copy of this novel. I liked the author’s unique style and his way of building up to a climactic moment, when everything is laid bare. It’s a refreshingly different novel compared to what I usually read, and that was my expectation for…

Woman With a Secret by Sophie Hannah

Ah, the lovely genre of detective fiction and mystery! I love getting the chance to solve a crime, and what better way to do it than in a good mystery novel? When I first began reading this novel, I had no idea it was in a series. That would probably have been helpful as I…

The Heart Goes Last by Margaret Atwood

Let me start off by saying that I am a big fan of Margaret Atwood. The first book I ever read was The Handmaid’s Tale when I was 14 years old and it made such a strong impression on me that I devoured any and every book written by her. I’ve been waiting to read…
