I'm a sucker for stories where the protagonist has to follow a series of tasks to get to a big reveal. And when it's after someone's death (à la P.S. I Love You or 13 Little Blue Envelopes), I usually know I'm going to get a thrill out of it. When There's A Will by … Continue reading Book Review: Where There’s a Will
We're told never to judge a book by its cover, and yet it was the cover of The Farm by Joanne Ramos (in stores May 7) that drew me toward it. I've never read (or seen) A Handmaid's Tale, and dystopian fiction is something I usually reserve for YA titles, but the juxtaposition of those … Continue reading Book Review: The Farm

It was about a girl who travelled abroad to London for a semester in order to try and break out of her shell...which I can relate to on a deep level, having done something similar myself.

For a person who's read as many books as I have, and for someone who loves this genre, I really haven't read that many books by Sophie Kinsella. I haven't touched the Shopaholic series, and I think I've maybe read two of her other books, but I really do enjoy her writing. When my friend … Continue reading Book Review: Surprise Me
