  • Book Highlight: Confessions of a Slightly Neurotic Hitwoman #1-2

    I’ll confess first, I thought this was going to be another funny crime comedy book in the vein of Stephanie Plum. While it did have some aspects of that since Maggie’s concussion gave her the magical ability to understand animals, and its all based in NJ, it has a lot more heart. Maggie has issues,…

  • Things You Won’t Say Review

    This was a very timely novel in light of police brutality in the news and everywhere else.

  • Skipping a Beat Review

    Now Skipping a Beat was very different from the last two Sarah Pekkanen books I read since it was about one person and solely a love story. An heartfelt bittersweet love story. It’s like The Vow and I think it should become a movie too.  The main character is Julia, who has been faithfully married…

  • These Girls Review

    This book is about three roommates, Cate, Abby and Renee all as they navigate love and work as 20-30 somethings. Once again, Sarah brings realism and heart to her work as she weaves their lives together. They make mistakes, they hurt people, but they also stand by each other and that’s what makes me love…

  • The Perfect Neighbors Review

    The Perfect Neighbors by Sarah Pekkanen is the first book I’ve read by the author and it was so good, I went on to read the rest of her realistic fiction catalogue. At least the ones available in my library.

  • Top 5 Memoirs

    Rita Moreno I read this memoir every summer, it’s just so good. Starting from her childhood in Puerto Rico, Moreno paints a rich picture of the world and the brother she left behind when her mother unexpectedly picks her up to travel to New York for new opportunities and a new husband. There it is…

  • Top 5 Thea Stilton Books

    I read this series from its beginning back in 2009 up until 2015 when I grew out of it and addmittedly, didn’t like the art change. I’m kind of picky about those things. Also very nostalgia-biased as you can tell by my choices. Anywho this will include Super specials, but exclude the Thea Sisters at…

  • Top 5 My Sister The Vampire

    Does anyone else remember this series by Sienna Mercer? I do and I think other people should read it too for a light Buffy the Vampire Slayer esque middle grade series (think Buffy flair and integration of vampires in real world, not the show’s violence and darker themes). Vampilicious The fourth book was an excellent…
