Oh, MY HEART! This book. Whew…. it was a rough one. Easy to read and plow through in terms of an interest and anticipation standpoint? Yes, absolutely. Easy to read without having your heart break into a million pieces over and over again? NO. Auschwitz Lullaby seriously broke my heart. I mean, they all break my…

The Huntress – Kate Quinn
Well what do you know, it’s time for my classic phase of binge-reading every new Historical Fiction book based around WWII (I called this in the last post!). I’m a little embarrassed to admit that The Alice Network by Kate Quinn has been on my TBR list since it was published last year but I have yet…
The Lost Girls of Paris – Pam Jenoff
I found myself going through phases over the last few years where I would become so consumed with World War II and the Holocaust that I would read book after book on the subject, basically any that I could get my hands on! Eventually I need a break after doing this because as we all…
Because You’re Mine – Rea Frey
Oh, how I love Rea Frey. I feel like I can say this in a non-creepy way because unlike other authors I read, I’ve actually met her! Not only that, I’ve also interacted with her many times via social media. She’s very interactive with her followers and someone I look up to as a woman,…
I’d Rather Be Reading – Anne Bogel
Let me start off by saying I adored I’d Rather Be Reading by Anne Bogel! It was so sweet and pure and loving and fuzzy in all the right ways. I flew through this in one evening and may have shed one or two tears…. (Ok yes, I cried. So what?). Not to mention, I am loving…
Where The Crawdads Sing – Delia Owens
I really wish I would have written this review fresh after reading this, as I’m a little rusty now since it’s been a few months, but Where The Crawdads Sing is an absolute essential to every reader’s list. PLUS – it was just confirmed Reese Witherspoon will be directing the movie adaption! Read about it…
Becoming – Michelle Obama
It’s pretty impossible to say anything bad about Michelle Obama’s memoir, Becoming and since there is so much buzz about this book I’m going to keep this short and sweet. GET.THIS.BOOK. The end. Just kidding… kind of! In all seriousness, this was such a great read for so many reasons. I loved learning more about Michelle Obama…
Not Her Daughter – Rea Frey
I finished Not Her Daughter by Rea Fry over Labor Day weekend but I’ve been waiting to post the review because I knew I was going to meet Rea! Last night I attended her book launch and panel discussion here in Chicago. A coworker of mine is good friends with her and knew how much I love…
Night Road – Kristin Hannah
Have I mentioned how much I love Kristin Hannah’s writing? Oh wait, I have, in the review for The Great Alone. I was browsing my favorite neighborhood bookstore, Unabridged, after I finished The Great Alone looking for my next read because ya know, the pile of about 10 books on my nightstand that don’t fit into my…
