Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng is a novel full of plot lines including motherhood, teen relationships, and suburbia. It has 4.3 stars out of 5 on Amazon and 4.1 stars on everythingemelia.com. That said, similar to Big Little Lies, it’s being made into a television mini series that should be great! Little Fires Everywhere:…
I am embarrassed for how long it took me to read You Don’t Have to Say You Love me by Sherman Alexie. I think I renewed it from the library 5 or 6 times! In my defense, other books with longer waiting times, like Becoming, took over.
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas is a powerful and moving novel about police brutality and systematic racism. It was on my 2019 book list and I had requested the hardcover and audiobook knowing that it would be a long waitlist. I started listening to the audiobook and I got through about 75% of…
When I One of Us is Lying to my 2019 book list, I didn’t know it was a teen mystery. It only took me a few pages into the first chapter to realize it, but that didn’t stop me from reading and throughly enjoying it.
I finally finished My Family and Other Animals! Nothing like a dysfunctional family story to entertain and amuse you. The majority of it was read on the patio, with glass of wine via a Queen Bee glass. So happy summer is finally here!
I just finished Behind Closed Doors by B. A. Paris and couldn’t wait to share! It was so good! I first heard about it on the Young House Love podcast last year, but it didn’t quite make the 2019 book list cut.

After zipping through The Woman in the Window audiobook, I started The Water Cure by Sophie Mackintosh. It got a place on my 2019 book list because it has 3.5 starts on Amazon, 3.52 on goodreads and is longlisted for the 2018 Man Booker Prize. So, once again I went in without reading the description…
I recently zipped through the audiobook The Woman in the Window by A. J. Finn. It’s a thrilling novel full of twists and turns! There was just enough intrigue to keep you guessing what was based on paranoia and what was real.
Hearing no recommendations from my 2018 Book Recap, I put together a short 2019 Book List. Just like last year, I put together this list based on NYT Best Sellers, other website lists (Amazon, GoodReads, etc), leftovers from last year’s list, and recommendations from bloggers I follow.
