The Vanishing Half – Book Review – No Spoilers
I wanted to read this as soon as I read about it in one of the articles that covered books coming out this summer. It follows a set of twins from a small Southern town. They recognize that the town is holding them back and decide to run away to New Orleans. There their pathsContinue reading “The Vanishing Half – Book Review – No Spoilers”
Weekend Reading
One of my favorite things is having a weekend where I don’t have anything that I have to do and I can spend the entire time reading. It’s especially helpful when the weather helps with that. I finished two books this morning so I started three books… an audiobook, a Kindle book and a printContinue reading “Weekend Reading”
A Good Marriage – Book Review – No Spoilers
My two May picks for my Book of the Month subscription were The Knockout Queen by Rufi Thorpe, reviewed here, and A Good Marriage by Kimberly McCreight. I picked A Good Marriage because I saw a post somewhere that Nicole Kidman was looking at turning it into a movie and that intrigued me. I’m notContinue reading “A Good Marriage – Book Review – No Spoilers”
My June Reading Plan…
I enjoy spending time at the end of a month/beginning of next month figuring out what I want to read. I never read everything I plan. Usually, my mood shifts and I want to read something other than what I originally planned. Or… like what is happening right now… just about every book I haveContinue reading “My June Reading Plan…”

I’m always excited to see what the books are and this month especially so because I had a guess asContinue reading “Decisions, decisions… what to pick for my June BOTM box…”

Popsugar Prompt #1 – A book that is published in 2020
In my opinion this is one of the easiest prompts of the whole Popsugar Reading Challenge! There are so many good books that come out each year! The challenge of the prompt might be the cost of new books or the long waits of popular new books at the library. A Book of the MonthContinue reading “Popsugar Prompt #1 – A book that is published in 2020”
