Last year was my first ever with a Christmas tree and I LOVED it. Since it currently gets dark around 4:15 PM, I like to turn on the tree as soon as the sun goes down and curl up on the couch with a good book and music playing softly in the background. Here are…

Book Review: Paris for One and Other Stories
While I found Me Before You cute but a little cheesy, I found this novella and collection of short stories by the same author lovely. The book opens on Nell, a girl in her mid-twenties who is predictable and boring. For the first time in her life, she has decided to do something whimsical and…

Book Review: The Great Santini
I have to say, this is probably my least favorite of all of Pat Conroy’s books. That said, Conroy is my favorite author of all time, so even his “worst” is still fabulous literature. Conroy just has a way of capturing both the South and the complexity of relationships. Even when words are not spoken,…

Book Review: The Woman In Cabin 10
I was a big fan of In A Dark, Dark Wood, so I was very excited to read Ruth Ware’s next novel, The Woman In Cabin 10. This one follows the same general model as the first, where a cast of characters abides in a tight space in the middle of nowhere. In In A Dark, Dark…

Book Review: Sex on the Moon
Moon rocks are one of the most valuable substances on earth. They were collected during Apollo missions and since those have stopped, they are a finite resource. They are locked away in a vault within a vault, which makes it incredibly impressive that a college kid and his two buxom accomplices managed to steal them.…
