YOU GUYS! This summer has been totally bonkers. Intense, extreme, manic, overexerted… all great descriptions for what the past three months have been like over here. I definitely needed the blogging break, but I’m glad to be back. I really missed blogging about the books I’ve read. And I’ve read so many great books this summer that I’ve been dying to share… so here goes!…
The Mothers by Brit Bennett
I’m sure you’ve seen The Mothers by Brit Bennett
It’s tough to blog about this book without giving away too many spoilers. I’ll do the best I can to summarize the book without ruining it for you…….
I Didn’t Like S-Town (gasp!), and Here’s Why
Three Recent Reads I Loved
Greetings from London! I’m here with one of my best friends for the week, and couldn’t be more thrilled. I didn’t want to leave you hanging on content while I’m gone.

I have three books that I recently finished and really enjoyed. If you have similar tastes in books as I do, I believe you’ll enjoy these as well.

ANYWAY, my Spring 2017 list may be pretty aggressive, even for me. But as temperatures warm up, my absolute favorite thing to do is to plop down on our patio with a cold beer in one hand and a book in the other.

I Can’t Stop Thinking About A Man Called Ove
A few months ago, I read A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman, it was on my Fall Reading List. As I was moving through the first few chapters, I was baffled that it got such glowing reviews. I truly couldn’t understand why this was dubbed such a great story. BUT I was way too quick to judge (story of my life), and after I finished the very last sentence, I realized that this was a story that would always stick with me. And I can honestly say, that nearly six months after finishing it, it’s a story that I think about often as weeks fly by….
