Change of Heart
By Fallon Ballard What a great read. At first, I wasn’t sure I’d like it. It was a little slow to get going but then it got where I didn’t want to put it down! It has a little fantasy and romance while mild sex scenes. If you don’t like explicit sex scenes, this isn’t…

The Third Gilmore Girl
By Kelly Bishop What a great memoir this was. If you enjoy productions including Dirty Dancing, Gilmore Girls, Bunheads and The Marcellus Mrs Maisel, you will recognize this icon. I learned so much and love Kelly’s honesty about her life, her struggles and her triumphs. Of course, like any memoir, she started at the beginning…

I’m Glad My Mom Died
by Jennette McCurdy I read this as an audiobook which was a great choice from my cousin Erica’s recommendation. (Thanks, Erica). I had been thinking about it because the title intrigued me, but she solidified when she said it was a great read/listen. I usually don’t opt for the audiobook option but I do really…

Freed (Fifty Shades as Told by Christian Grey)
by E.L. James Well, I did it folks. I finished the series. I was sad to see the series end, and maybe E.L. James will bring it back so we can know where Anastasia and Christian end up. This one was probably the longest of all the books, and there is so much you are…

Christmas at Nutcracker Court
by Judy Duarte This was a Christmas read I picked up at Goodwill recently that I took a chance on. Have you ever taken a chance on a book? I don’t completely regret it, but it didn’t live up to my expectation for it. I gave this one 3 but would have really given it…

Darker (Fifty Shades as Told by Christian Grey)
by E.L. James What can I say? This series has sucked me in from the beginning, and continues to keep me sucked in. If you know anything about the Fifty Shades series, then you may already know that E.L. James created a whole separate trilogy set as told by Christian Grey. It is one of…

A Court of Thorns and Roses
by Sarah J. Maas I get the hype now. I had it in my mind that I wanted to read this before or around Christmas and I did it! I can’t wait to read more. Usually, I’m not a fantasy reader and can get a little deterred from the genre, but Maas does a great…

Pretty Girls
by Karin Slaughter I had such high hopes for this one because I really enjoy Karin Slaughter’s work usually, but this one was a flop for me. Its a three-star, but you may feel differently. Instead of re-telling the story for you, let me tell you my challenges with the book because the plot of…

Let’s Talk About…Reading on Holidays
Do you take time out specifically to read at the holidays? Do you hibernate in a corner and read while the rest of the family fights over Jenga or some other family-friendly game? I know I am. This Thanksgiving is pretty low key for us since Ronnie had surgery, so we just have to be…
