My current literary obsession:
Girls in White Dresses
By: Jennifer Close
This book was a disturbingly realistic take on women in their twenty somethings into their thirty somethings. That inevitable question: what’s next? controlling the lives of girls trying to find the balance between what makes the world around them happy and what is right for them. We’ve all been there which makes this book so rich.

My Current Literary Obsession:
One Day
By: David Nicholls
This has to be my favorite book that I’ve read in a long time. Refreshingly real and quite the tear jerker. The premise of the book is a couple that meets one day. The book then catalogues their life on the same day each year, so each chapter picks up on the same day the next year. This definitely keeps the book a great page turner. I read the whole book in about a day.

I just about died when I saw this book coming out a couple of years ago. I have been, and forever will be, an avid fan of Audrey Hepburn. What’s not to love about her? She is my style icon and my go-to- gal for good movies. If I ever get the ‘mean reds’, Breakfast at Tiffany’s or Sabrina can always turn my mood around.

My current literary obsession:
The Twelve Tribes of Hattie
By: Ayana Mathis
This holiday provided not only some quality time with my friends and family, but also some much needed R&R with some good reads. Towards the end of last year I was definitely all business in the literary department.
This novel was a great start to my literary adventures in 2013. It reads a little like The Poisonwood Bible that I did a review on here. Each chapter looks at each of the descendants of Hattie. I like how the book shows how each descendant takes something different away from the same joys and hardships that the family endures. You get to know each character so well during their chapter and then it is so exciting to hear about them in subsequent chapters through other character’s eyes. By the end of the book I felt like I should start back at the beginning to read with new eyes because the story was so well woven in detail. I hope you find this as much of a page turner as I did!
Happy reading!

Winter Garden
By: Kristin Hannah
If you need a good cry, this book is for you. It is about two sisters who are coping with their mother aging. What they find out about their mother’s past will keep this book a page turner. Great for these cold evenings.
Cuddle up and enjoy with a hot cup of spiked apple cider!
