Braving the Wilderness

Braving the Wilderness

Review Braving the Wilderness takes on the subject of belonging. I typically wouldn’t have picked up a book that to me, falls into the self-help category but I decided to give it a try as I work my way through Reese Witherspoon’s Book Club Selections. I really had to slog my way through the book […]

Something in the Water

Goodreads Progress Have you ever wondered how long it takes to dig a grave? Wonder no longer. It takes an age. However long you think it takes, double that. That opening line had me at hello and grabbed my attention as to learn not only who she was burying but why. I couldn’t help but roll […]

The Last Mrs Parrish

Review The Last Mrs Parrish started out strong. It dropped breadcrumbs I eagerly picked up in my quest to learn what Amber’s motive was.  Sadly, that trail quickly dried up and I began sighing like Bella Swan in Twilight.  The novel became like any other domestic thriller.  However, despite the fact that the plot had […]
