Continue reading →: Broadway, Books, & Birthdays!I love the month of June for two reasons. First, it’s my birthday month and second, the current Broadway season culminates with the Tony Awards. Both my birthday and the Tony Awards occur around the second weekend of June. To me, it’s the best weekend of the year. I was…

Continue reading →: An Absolutely Remarkable ThingI read a lot of women’s and literary fiction, “beach reads”, historical WWII fiction, and occasionally Young Adult novels. Never Sci-Fi. I’ve never been into any type of Sci-Fi, whether it be books, movies, or TV. It’s not my thing. It doesn’t appeal to me. Which is why I found…

This week I’m talking about one of my favorite books, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. I bought it back in 2009 when it…

The NY Times got it right when they called it, “Painfully heartbreaking”. I had extremely high expectations for this book. It currently holds a 5 star rating on Amazon out of 9,000+…

Continue reading →: Jane Austen’s Delightful EmmaA few years ago, I read Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen for the first time. I am ashamed to admit that even though I studied literature in college, I didn’t read Jane Austen. It was never assigned, so I just didn’t read it. Years later, I wanted to right…

Continue reading →: To Kill a MockingbirdI firmly believe that my life would look very different today had I never read To Kill a Mockingbird in high school. Harper Lee is responsible for why I studied literature in college, why I adore reading, and why I became a writer. This book is extremely special to me because…

It’s both a wonderful and tiring week, but one that I look forward to every year. Who wouldn’t want to spend a…

Continue reading →: Crazy Rich Asians is a Crazy Good TimeThis year, the Crazy Rich Asians series by Kevin Kwan became one of my favorite book series of all time. I devoured them immediately, one right after the other like candy. I find all three books hilarious and endearing. I loved them so much that I’m jealous of readers who…
