Books and reading have always been an important part of my life. When I was very young, my grandma was the library director at our local public library. Years later, after she had retired, I became a librarian at the same library and worked there for several years before taking a part-time job at a local coffee shop, which gives me more time to do what I love, to read and to review books! A few of my favorite authors are Aimee Bender, Diane Chamberlain, and Curtis Sittenfeld however, I will read almost any book I come across! In my spare time you can find me reading (of course), volunteering at a wildlife animal rehab, or hanging out with my three house rabbits.

The Mothers is a wonderful book that I would encourage anyone who is a mother, or has an aspiration to be a mother to read. If you are going through the process of an adoption, know someone who has ad…
The title of this book was what attracted me initially to this book, but once I started reading it, I realized it wasn't exactly what I had been expecting it to be. I had a hard time delving…

I will admit that I am a harsh critic when it comes to books and how much praise I give them. This book deserves every good word I can write about it. From the beginning, it had me hooked. The voices …
