When I was in college, one of my best friends told me she was reading a book about a woman who was cheating with her best friend’s fiancé. The twist was that my friend found herself cheering for the woman who was cheating. Of course, I thought it was crazy! Fast forward four years or […]

Book + Movie Review: One Day by David Nicholls
It’s been a very relaxing weekend around here. With no set plans other than watching the Open Championship (my heart broke for Adam Scott, but congrats to Ernie Els), I was able to get a lot of reading and writing done, with a little movie watching thrown in for good measure. I’ve had One Day […]
Book Review: These Things Hidden by Heather Gudenkauf
I have a backlog of book reviews that I’m excited to share with you in the coming week. Since 2012 is nearly half over (what?!), I thought it’d be fun to check in on my list and see where we’re at. The total for the year to date is 18 books! An average of three […]
Book Review: Sister by Rosamund Lupton
Thanks for all the great warm weather running tips on my last post! I’m feeling a lot more confident now. The good news is that I am in Arizona for my next long run this weekend, which promises to provide ample opportunity to test everything out! More on why I’m here in my next post. […]
Book Review: Insurgent by Veronica Roth
I’m so excited to talk about Insurgent! You may recall my review of Divergent a few months ago woah, way back in September? Honestly, where does time GO? Anyway, this is the next installment of Veronica Roth’s trilogy, and when it was released on May 1, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. […]
Book Review: Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
How do you write a book review about a classic like Gone with the Wind? It seemed daunting – the summary alone encompasses 1,000+ pages of plot. I was tempted to “think about it tomorrow,” as Scarlett O’Hara would say, but decided I had to gush about it while it was freshest in my mind. […]
Book Review: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer
My book club’s inaugural read was Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer. We had the chance to chat about it last week (right before my adorable nieces became triplets) and I’m excited to share my review with you today. I haven’t had a chance to see the ELAIC movie yet, but am […]
Book Review: Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
What better way to kick off my 2012 blogging than with a book review? My latest obsession comes in the form of a book series. Currently, there are seven books in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander Series (with an eighth to be released in 2013). I had heard about her work before, but hadn’t pursued the books […]
