What Waits in the Woods
by Terri Parlato WOW! This book sucked me in pretty quickly. The first things about this book that caught my eye were the cover, the description and the fact that one of the characters had the same name as me. I mean, she was a murder victim, but who is judging? Its rare to see…

Rock Bottom (Sisterhood #35)
by Fern Michaels I’m always hesitant reading a random book in a well-known or developed series, but I thought, here goes nothing! This one publishes on December 26th, so if you want to get a New Year’s present for someone, this may be your choice! We meet Zoe and Izzie, best friends, and they are…

Its relatable if you’re…

Let’s talk about…Deciding How Many Books to take on Vacation
So, you’re going on vacation. The ultimate question is not usually how many pairs of underwear or socks you’re going to bring or what bag you’re going to use. It all usually comes down to how many books should I bring? Before the times of Kindle and Nook readers, it was critical to make sure…

Best Friends Forever
by Jennifer Weiner Well, I had high hopes for this one because I like Jennifer Weiner’s books, but this one was kind of a let-down. It just never really went anywhere. I had moments where I thought it was a crime book and others when I thought this was going to be a heartfelt rom-com…
