So far the year of 2017 has been a dumpster fire for multiple reasons…many of those reasons you can guess, but also because I haven’t been able to find a book that I could lose myself in. It’s my turn for my book club selection and so I was feeling the pressure of trying to find something that ten women might like–no small feat. I’m glad that when I made my search for “suspenseful books” on the Internet that when I read the blurb about […]
I’m a Survivor, I’m Gonna Make it…
Remember when Survivor first came out and we were all like, “Wow, that’s crazy!” and sooo many people watched it…and now like 789 seasons later, it’s still on and Jeff Probst is still making people do shitty things for a jar of peanut butter? It also makes me think of Destiny’s Child If I were to be on a Survivor-like show, I want to look like them. But I’d probably look like this: Because I totally ripped my arm open trying to help my husband […]
Cult of Personality
Emma Cline’s book The Girls is set in present day, and also at during the hippie days of 1967 in San Francisco. There (in the past), we meet our narrator Evie. Evie, is a fourteen year old who is bored, seems to pretty much hate her best friend but can’t quite shake her (since they’ve been friends forever) and, waiting for the world to unveil its secrets to her. It’s the laughter of “the girls” that opens her eyes to the possibilities around her, and […]
Girl Gone Mildly Wild
I’ve been able to avoid Wild for quite some time now, but after the Gilmore Girls revival, one of my book club friends decided that we should read it. My own personal experiences and Cheryl’s cloud my judgement on whether or not it was a good book. Strayed lost her mother to cancer in her mid twenties, I lost my dad to a motorcycle accident when I was 23. Both of us lost our center and while I had a support system (who was […]
You’ll Be Accepting My Apology For Sucking At Life and Not Posting
So yeah, I’ve been away for a long time. So long in fact that I can’t even remember what review I’m on…but I KNOW that I have to be really close to a Cannonball based on what I’ve read, just not on what I’ve reviewed (edit: I looked back I think my last one was 35…let’s see how much closer I can get to a cannonball). I’m breaking the rules and reviewing all the books that I’ve neglected over the past few months…right now. Who’s […]
Hannah What? Hannah Who? Hannahwhere…is that really the title?
Hannahwhere was one of my book club picks and I’m quite certain that I would never choose to read this book if I wasn’t challenged to do so. I am in the minority, as the book has 4.5 stars on Amazon and 4.2 stars on Goodreads but I was underwhelmed. Sometimes I get nervous when that happens. Like I think to myself, “Did I miss something?” or “Am I being too picky?” but in this case I think I feel confident that I really didn’t […]
