Current Literary Obsession:
With or Without You
By: Domenica Ruta

In true memoir fashion, this book is full of life’s unpleasant moments. The author grows up in a house full of drugs and alcohol and eventually finds herself on the same path. The great thing about this book is Domenica’s trueness up to her present self. There are also so many laugh out loud moments in this book. I hope you read this book soon and let me know what you think!

Also, be sure to stay tuned tomorrow for an exciting giveaway!

Happy Thursday!

Ok. Has anyone else read this book? I was super excited to read The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling after nearly a decade of Harry Potter awe.

The premise of this book is a man, Barry Fairbrother, dies, leaving his seat on the local parish council vacant. The other members of the town then begin vying for the position, but it doesn’t take long before their close kept secrets come out. Sounds intriguing right? Well, the plot is interesting, but it just kinda drags on. Good idea…bad execution.

I normally love everything I read, but this book just didn’t do it for me….did anyone else feel this way?

Also looking for new book suggestions! Have you all read anything good lately? Right now I’ve got the new Jeannette Walls book on the horizon!

Hope you all have a swell weekend!

Current Literary Obsession:
Still Alice
By: Lisa Genova

Ok….are you ready for a serious, can’t catch your breath cry? This book is a serious tear jerker. I’m getting a lot of book recommendations from my dear friend Linda and she loves a good tear jerker. For whatever reason….I’m kinda on her level these days. I read this book in one sitting. Could not put it down! It is about a woman in her early fifties who is diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s at the peak of her career. I love how the author shows the progression of Alice’s disease from Alice’s perspective. It is amazing to watch not only her mental progression, but also how her priorities change when every second counts. Ok, I am getting sappy over this book again! Seriously good read!!

Happy reading!

So what’s worse than a wicked sunburn on your face? The peeling stage. My face has dandruff. So not cute.

I can’t really complain though… I did just spend 5 days in the Virgin Islands. It was gllllorrriousssss but I’ve been forced to return to the real world. I’ll be working on getting the pictures of the trip up but it’s going to take some time.  I’m still trying to shake the sand out of our suitcases (It’s EVERYWHERE.) and catch up on 3 months worth of laundry. That last part was a bit of an exaggeration but you catch my drift.

Current literary obsession:
Where’d You Go, Bernadette
By: Maria Semple

If I learned one thing from this book, it’s you should always judge a book by its cover. How darling is the cover? The contents were just as darling.

Just before a celebratory Antarctic cruise, Bernadette, Bee’s mom, goes missing. The search for an eccentric mother by an equally eccentric child makes for a great, quick read. I don’t want to give too much away…but the twists will definitely keep you mesmerized.

Happy reading!
