Body Of Water

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Creepy, mind-blowing and terrifying, this is not your average horror novel. Far, far from it. Oceans, in fact, away from anything resembling the boundaries of the world we know. Buckle up, as between these pages, we will meet Glen, our third-person-POV narrator, a high school biology teacher who embarks…

Never Fall for your Fiancee

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A frothy and fabulous regency rom-com, which, when madcap romance and laugh-out-loud repartee is called for, is absolutely a book to reach for. I thoroughly enjoyed this funny and charming read, Book one of the Merriwell sisters series, and look forward to reading the next in line. Miss Minerva…

Penitence

🌟🌟🌟🌟💫 Are we exposed by, defined by, the worst thing we’ve ever done? Do our actions teach the world how to label us, hate us, mistrust us — or are we better than that, all of us, people who are struggling, who mess up (often royally), who often mean well,…

Dealing with Feeling

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 This powerful book is written by a self-proclaimed (admittedly tongue-in-cheek) “Master of Feelings”, Dr. Marc Brackett, a professor focusing on Emotional Intelligence, and in particular, the perhaps lesser-known practice of emotional regulation. We cannot control the situations we find ourselves in, but we can learn to manage (that is,…

Needle Lake

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The second book I have read from this author, each of which I have loved. “Needle Lake” is surprisingly tender, intensely atmospheric, and utterly compelling — with a main protagonist as heart-tuggingly authentic as an imagined character can possibly be. Based in a small town north of Seattle, Washington,…

A Death on Corfu

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 An utterly charming and mostly unexpected treat, best described as the love child of ‘The Durrells’, ‘Pride and Prejudice’, and an add-your-own-favorite cozy mystery. Set on the idyllic island of Corfu in the year 1898, the story is told by Minnie Harper, a smart and restrained thirty-three year old…

I am, I am, I am

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟➕ A memoir unlike any you will read, this is a gorgeously written, unputdownable look at the life of Maggie O’Farrell, one of my favorite novelists, and in particular, the seventeen times this particular life has almost ended. If Maggie appears to have more than the “normal” amount of brushes…
