The Road Back to You by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile I have been very interested in books about the Enneagram.  A simple Enneagram test will tell you which of the nine personality types you are most like.  Personally I am a type 2, “The Helper”.  I thought that this book was a very detailed and clear explanation of the nine different personality types. If you don’t want to take the test, you can read a book such as this one and see which personality type speaks to you most. I really liked this book.  It helped me understand myself better than I did before. I have this book…

This June I read more than my goal.  Which is good because I definitely had some catching up to do!  Here are my reviews on the books I read in June. Catch and Kill By Ronan Farrow I really wanted to like this book.  I wanted it to be the expose that I was expecting to read.  I found this book to be very self-indulgent and boring.  I did not like Farrow’s writing style, I felt like he went on and on for pages about things that were not important to the plot.  Like I said earlier, I really wanted to like this book, it is such an important topic…

Hello friends! This was the third month of my social-distancing.  I live alone so I have had plenty of time to read!  Unfortunately I usually end up watching some trash TV (looking at you RHOBH). I have found it so hard during this time to focus on reading.  But, I have read some good books this month! Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell This was my book club book for May.  It is a bit of a thriller about a girl who goes missing and her mother dealing with the aftermath.  Laurel is the mother of two girls, her youngest, and favorite daughter goes missing.  10 Years later, she…

Looking for something to read while in quarantine?  I read a few books in the month of March that were pretty good! I am sure my April book reviews are going to have a lot more since there isn’t much else to do. Mrs. Everything by Jennifer Weiner I had a hard time with this book, I think I took it out from the library three different times because I just couldn’t get through it.  This is the story of two sisters growing up through a time where women were not typically encouraged to be themselves and be different.  Jo is a lesbian in secret but follows the path of…

This month I finally got some great reading time and put a dent into my goal for the year.  Part of that is because I went on vacation this month and spent a good chunk of time, sitting on the beach on Martha’s Vineyard absorbing a novel. The First Conspiracy by Brad Meltzer I am a big fan of Brad Meltzer’s writing.  He has written some great historical fiction/political thrillers that have kept me enthralled from the first page to the last.  But, this book was not quite up to my expectations. I like reading about presidents and I did learn a lot about George Washington in this book.  But,…
