The Sound of Glass
2025
This collection blends introspection, complex relationships, and dark humor with emotional depth. It explores psychological tension, personal growth, and the messiness of life through secrets, struggles, and coming-of-age moments.
This is our book club's current read. We randomly pick from a jar on what to read next.
The Ghostwriter
Could’ve been 4 stars, but the concept of the affair was not for me. Overall, this story read really well and I HIGHLY enjoyed the three parts and multiple points of views. Some of the characters did piss me off but I’m sure that was their purpose???...
The Teacher
Our second book choice for our September Book Club.
Ask for Andrea
Is it possible for a memoir to have a slow beginning and middle but then a perfect ending? I fear this was the ramblings of a brilliant man who left Earth side before his prime. However, his stories did make me revel at anything inspiring or new but ...
When Breath Becomes Air
This was nearly perfect. I loved about this was the style - Daisy Jones had the similar "vibe". Interview style, intertwined with the storytelling of it all. This book did an incredible job of making me question WHAT WAS TRUE??
None of This Is True
This book started off strong. I was scared, I was actually scared, and then - it got...sad/mad? Read at your own risk!
Incidents Around the House
A perfect coming of age teenage girl book! Sweet Mary Jane questions herself and others throughout the summer while she is the nanny of Izzy. The author did a great job describing each character. I could easily picture every single person. Will alway...
Mary Jane
This was simple and to the point. I felt some parts very deeply (shame for not cleaning, who am I trying to impress with onesies being folded, etc.) and some parts I just sat and listened and said - "hmm not me, but I can see that point of view". I w...
How to Keep House While Drowning: A Gentle Approach to Cleaning and Organizing
Our second book choice for our July Book Club. This book has got some twists and some may say it's even a romance book? That'll be up to you to decide!
The Perfect Marriage
2024
This collection blends heartwarming, thought-provoking, and thrilling stories with moments of magic and fun. It shifts from humor to suspense, offering both deep insights and lighthearted escapes, all tied together with warmth and connection.
WOW! The ending was absolutely beautiful and wonderful. However, my goodness, the beginning was slow??? So slow. I just wanted to power through some parts. Anyways, I would absolutely recommend this to those that prefer historical fiction books. I wo...
Homecoming
I definitely liked this once I finished. I'm a little sad that I did not realize this was the "second" in The Cheat Sheet series, but you do not need to read The Cheat Sheet first. I would recommend to those who like predictable stories.
The Rule Book
The ending was wonderful, but I do think that the author at least wrapped mostly everything up. Which feels like is quite a hard feature these days!
Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone
Very much a "New Girl" (the TV show) storyline, but overall it was a nice read. I enjoyed the friends that were made along the way, and I was not totally against the main characters. They actually had decent communication compared to a lot of romance...
Funny Story
Sadie Green is intolerable, Sam 'Mazer' is insufferable, and, well, the "best" character does not have a happy ending. The author did a great job of writing one off sections like NPC, Pioneer, etc. I just could not get over how the author wrote the v...
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
I really liked this book, but overall it was quite sad. It would likely not be one of the first books I'd pick up knowing a general synopsis. However, there were plenty of endearing moments.
A Man Called Ove
It was as if Frozen (the movie) was written with a game style carnival and then had an ending where one sister was like haha you thought I was going to die but I knew you loved me and see - you'll have to read to find out!
