Hello and happy Wednesday. I know you need a feel-good book, and I have the perfect selection for you. I’m of course talking about Table for Five by Izzy Bromley. In it, our main character has been fired from her job and is figuring out what to do, when she stumbles upon this café with…

I (Finally) Finished Reading It
Hello and happy Tuesday. Yes, after seven months, I finished reading It by Stephen King, but I won’t make a regular review because I think it’s a bit pointless. Here’s the deal: it doesn’t matter what I say about this novel because it has been a success for forty years and it will continue being…

A Couple of Updates
Hello and happy Monday. I’ve had a busy morning because I’m in the process of reorganizing my home, especially my kitchen since I want to start cooking and baking more often. I guess that when I’m on vacation I get this urge to make changes, and that’s probably what got me to renew the blog…

My Thoughts on The Answer is No
Hello and happy Sunday. If you’ve been in the bookish world for as long as I have, you’ve probably heard of Fredrik Backman. If you’ve been lucky enough, you’ve probably read at least one of his books, but probably not The Answer is No. From what I know, it’s an Audible original, so you can…

Hello and happy Friday. About a month ago, as the school year wrapped up and I basically had nothing to do but wait for time to pass by, I took Boy Proof by Cecil Castellucci to work and attempted to read it while I could. I say “attempted” because I had a hard time with…

My Thoughts on Kissing Ted Callahan
Hello and happy Wednesday. In a few hours, I’ll be going to the airport because I’m traveling to the city where my dad lives to visit him. You can’t tell, but I’m super excited because I love airports and planes, and I’m obviously looking forward to spending the weekend with my dad. When I’m about…

My Thoughts on Fans of the Impossible Life
Hello and happy Tuesday. When I was in my early 20s, I decided I’d write a novel with one of my best friends. Now that I’m revisiting it because I’m back into writing and I want to see what is salvageable, I am faced with the reality that it is extremely pretentious. This is what…

My Thoughts on Extraordinary Means
Hello and happy Monday. I pride myself on being very organized with my book lists, but once in a while I discover that I’ve purchased the same book twice, in different formats. This happened with Extraordinary Means by Robin Schneider, and it ended up working out perfectly because I was halfway through the book on…
