Lose Yourself in the World of Books
From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls (and Everything in Between) To say that I am a Gilmore Girls fan may be a bit of an understatement. I am a basic white (elder - according to Iliza Shlesinger) millennial young woman, therefore I love Gilmore Girls. It's basic logic. However, as I wasn't a huge fan of Graham's fiction (Someday,… Continue reading Talking as Fast as I Can by Lauren Graham
Rampant & Ascendant Unicorns are a pretty hot topic these days so I figured it was time to honor someone who led the charge for unicorns before the train even left the station. Rampant Synopsis Forget everything you ever knew about unicorns… Astrid Llewelyn has always scoffed at her eccentric mother’s stories about killer unicorns. But… Continue reading Killer Unicorns duology by Diana Peterfreund
I'm not a big post-it note person when it comes to reading, but just in the introduction to this book, I put 6 notes. The content is so unbelievable, it just can't be made up. Synopsis The Unwomanly Face of War is the long-awaited English translation of Svetlana Alexievich's first book, a groundbreaking oral history… Continue reading The Unwomanly Face of War by Svetlana Alexievich
And Other Questions You Should Have Answers to When You Work in the White House Like my present obsession with the Royals (well, persistent obsession since I was 7 years old and Diana died), I've recently become entranced by the the American version, and no, I absolutely do not mean the Kardasians, but those who occupy… Continue reading Who Thought This Was a Good Idea? by Alyssa Mastromonaco
Shades of Magic #1 Do you ever look at your shelves of books and think "This book has been here too long."? That's how I've felt about A Darker Shade of Magic - I've had it since 2015 and I've been recommending it to bookstore patrons for just as long, but without admitting that I… Continue reading A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab
A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, The Book of Life Back in January 2013 I was trying to find a new favorite book (which never works, you can’t force it) and I had been eyeing A Discovery of Witches for a while and decided to take a chance on it. I read the first… Continue reading All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness
The Grace and Power of America's Modern First Ladies I've always loved biographies of the royals and, as an #ImWithHer girl, when I realized that First Women existed, I figured it would be one that I should take a look at. Synopsis One of the most underestimated - and demanding - positions in the world, the… Continue reading First Women by Kate Andersen Brower
Laura: I found this book on my mom’s shelves and when she noticed that I had picked it up she told me I should absolutely read it. It is one of the few non-mystery type fiction books she has read in the past 10 years, and she thoroughly enjoyed it. Knowing my love of all… Continue reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer & Annie Barrows
Scottish Bookshop #1 (The Bookshop on the Corner in the USA) A few years ago I picked this book up and thought it looked adorable and perfect for a friend. A perfect chick-lity read, a book about books, that she would love. Two years later, I found the audiobook on Overdrive I figured it was time I… Continue reading The Little Shop of Happy Ever After by Jenny Colgan
For Darkness Shows the Stars & Across a Star-Swept Sea Diana Peterfreund is one of my most favorite authors. I first discovered her works when I was getting ready to head off to college in 2007 and I stumbled upon the Secret Society Girl series. It is one of the few series that actually covers college age… Continue reading Reduction Duology by Diana Peterfreund
