I’ve been on a “thriller” kick recently. Maybe that’s been a theme of this year? Reading thriller type books to distract myself from all of the other nonsense going on. My cousin (Thanks, Johnny!) actually recommended another book, Something in the Water, that I need to add to my #TBR list in the Book Jar. Moving […]
Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty
Hello, #KindleRead! October saw quite a bit of travel and appointments for me. That meant a lot of waiting around, or not wanting to carry a bunch of books around. I was reading Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Galbadon, but I just couldn’t do it. It was dragging, so I left it unfinished. Thanks to Overdrive/Libby, […]
Friday Five: October 2018
I’m not going to lie. October has been a bitch. As this posts, I’m on my way to Fort Lauderdale for my grandfather’s funeral. It’s been an emotionally tough month. I’ve been super absent from the blog as well, so thank you all for understanding. But, in every month, there is always something for which […]
Healthy Zucchini Protein Brownies
If I’ve made anything clear, it’s that I love sneaking vegetables into sweets. It makes me feel less guilty. Plus, if I can sneak some sort of protein in there, EVEN BETTER. I’m traveling for work this week. It just so happened that I had some zucchini I wasn’t able to eat before I leave. […]
Single State of Mind by Andi Dorfman
I really loved Andi’s first book. It’s Not Okay. I related to it on a deep level, so personal that I didn’t even blog about it. I had high hopes for her second book, Single State of Mind. One of my girlfriends bought it for me for my birthday, and I’ve finally gotten around to reading it. […]
Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz
I was completely caught off guard by Magpie Murders. It was a recent addition to my library, courtesy of the magical clearance wall at 2nd & Charles. Seriously, if you’ve never shopped the wall, you’re overpaying for books. I am a sucker for a good mystery. I love trying to solve something before the storyline does. […]
The Birth of Venus by Sarah Dunant
The Birth of Venus by Sarah Dunant actually threw me for a loop. It took me a lot longer to get through than other books I’ve read recently. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started reading it. The back cover talks of art and Florence, Italy (my favorite!), and the Medicis. I am […]
September 2018
If I keep talking about how quickly the time is going, will it slow down? September has been quite the trying month, with a lot of unforeseen circumstances. I’ve restructured my job a bit which has resulted in taking on an absurd amount of responsibilities…hello, stress! My favorite things this September are a bit less […]
Lemon Zucchini Bread
I loved getting back in the kitchen to bake so much that I didn’t just stop at the Fluffy Ginger Snaps. I’m a HUGE fan of lemon. Don’t put lemon in my water, but give me a lemon square over cake just about any day…Did I really just say that? I had some extra lemons […]
My Name is Memory by Ann Brashares
It’s becoming a recurring theme that I forget how I came into possession of certain books. My Name is Memory by Ann Brashares falls into this category. Thanks to my Book Jar, it was my next read. I certainly was not expecting to love My Name is Memory as much as I did. Ann Brashares is the […]
