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…

The Last Letter From Your Lover by Jojo Moyes

This is the second book by this author that I have read. I generally don’t write about too many books by the same author because I want people to have a general idea and then find more out by themselves but this book was just too good to pass up! When Jennifer Stirling wakes up…

At the Water’s Edge by Sara Gruen

After reading Water for Elephants, I was super excited to read this book! I had high expectations, especially since her previous novel had made such a strong impression on me. When Maggie and Ellis Hyde make a fool of themselves in front of all high society at a party in Philadelphia in 1942, it creates…

Her by Harriet Lane

I read this book on a whim and finished it quite quickly. It felt like quite a short book and was a page-turner. Anyways, here is my review. Emma is a tired mother of a toddler who is expecting her second child. When she gave up her career as a news reporter to be a…

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

Okay, I’m way too excited about this book to write an introduction so I’m just going to jump right in! In Omaha, the main goal of every teenager is to fit in. Park has always found that difficult to do. Being half-korean, half-irish in a school with no Asian students means you stick out a…

Mrs. Poe by Lynn Cullen

I’ve always been wary of reading fiction novels about famous people. I’m referring to books that hint at affairs or at secret muses of famous artists. I always worry that it will distort my view of their work. That’s why I approached this book only after having been recommended it numerous times. Frances Osgood does…

What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty

If I compared this novel to the ones I’ve been reading so far, this is definitely on the light hearted side. It was a quick read but a great one and I’m definitely happy that I gave it a shot! Alice is happily married and thrilled to be expecting her first child at the age…

Love and Lady Lovelace by M.C. Beaton

It sounded cute and I wanted to read something light. Don’t judge me! Lady Lovelace has been married twice, both times for wealth. Now she is a widow and has accomplished everything she set out to accomplish. Her sisters are married, she has a good fortune, and her people love her. When she goes on…

The Guide by R.K. Narayan

For the first time in my life, my father recommended a book to me. My father was actually quite a reader when he was younger but somehow, he gave up on it when he got married. I’ve always recommended books to him or given him some of mine to read but he always refused. So…
