Silver Sparrow – Tayari Jones
You might recognize Tayari Jones from her recent 2018 publication of An American Marriage. Silver Sparrow isn’t a new release (2011) but I’m glad I stumbled upon this title. This book will capture you from the first sentence: “My father, James Witherspoon, is a bigamist”. The book centers around four women and the shared man they all have…
Feel Good Reads, Cozy Blankets, + Crisp Fall Weather
Happy October – Happy Fall! Even though it’s officially been fall for a few weeks now, the temperatures are starting to really feel like the cooler months we have all come to know and love. I don’t know about you, but fall is some of my favorite months for reading. I’m not sure if it’s…
September Wrap Up
Twelve books in September?! That’s a record for me! I’d have to do some more digging but I think it’s safe to say this month had some of the best books I’ve read this year. If you follow me on Instagram, you know I post a lot about the books I’m reading. Thanks to my handy dandy…
Behold the Dreamers – Imbolo Mbue
Behold the Dreamers is one of the best books I’ve read in a long, long time. I am beyond grateful I visited Semicolon Bookstore and discovered so many amazing and underrated books. There is so much that readers can take away from this book and it’s hard to even put into words how relevant and important…
Park Avenue Summer – Renee Rosen
In my quest of love for all things NYC, I picked up Park Avenue Summer and it was just what I hoped it would be! A little nostalgia, a little glam, and a whole lot of women empowerment, this book was a gem. Based around the true story of Helen Gurley Brown, Cosmopolitan magazine’s first female editor-in-chief, Park Avenue…
You and Me and Us – Alison Hammer
I’m not sure where to start with this one, other than You and Me and Us is one of the most emotional yet beautiful books I’ve read in a long time. I want to preface by saying – this book may be highly sensitive and triggering for someone who has lost a parent or spouse to cancer, or…
Beach Read – Emily Henry
If you think you’re about to read a chick-lit book about a beach vacation when you pick up Beach Read, then you are wrong. Myself included, I had no idea the depth to this book and upon reading several similar reviews, concluded that the title (and cover art) is incredibly captivating and misleading at the same time. …
That’s A Wrap!
Another month has come and gone which means it’s time for a monthly wrap up of my August reads. If you can’t tell, my preferences severely favored chick-lit, which is highly unlike me under normal circumstances. While the world is still in a very weird and confusing place, I’ve learned I only have the mental…
