Triple the fun

Three Wishes by Liane Moriarty

December 30, 2019 by Wanderlustful Leave a Comment

Triplets Lyn, Cat(riona) and Gemma are turning 33 and its been quite the year- task-oriented Lyn is stressed trying to ‘do it all’; fierce Cat is trying and failing to get pregnant when her husband confesses he’s having an affair; and flakey Gemma can’t seem to find anything in her life to define her or hold on to.  Set in Sydney over the course of the year, Moriarty charts the ups and downs of the triplets, and their closest loved ones. Although I loved reading […]

Definitely watching out for more Lisa Jewell titles

Watching You by Lisa Jewell

December 10, 2019 by octothorp Leave a Comment

I misplaced this book halfway through reading it and I was SOOOO upset, because this was a page turner. Nothing is gonna be the Dublin Murder Squad books, but until Tana French starts writing as fast as I read, I’ve been desperate for something to scratch the mystery itch. Same with Liane Moriarty and her middle class Australian intrigue; I’ve been wanting something well written but still brisk and fun. This is kind of the perfect intersection of the two. So huzzah that this turned […]

What are- books you should NOT read while pregnant…

Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty

Do Not Become Alarmed  by Maile Meloy

September 15, 2019 by Caitlin_D Leave a Comment

CBR11 Listicles: Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty Goodreads Top 20 Books of 2016 I am doing a terrible job planning my Bingo scorecard. I had a much clearer plan of attack last year but am mostly playing it by ear this year. Luckily I was able to stumble into a square with a reread of Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty since it appeared on Goodreads Top. After reading Nine Perfect Strangers and being… underwhelmed… I decided to read something else by Liane Moriarty and decided on Truly Madly Guilty because […]

Deeper Than I Expected

The Last Anniversary by Liane Moriarty

September 12, 2019 by ASKReviews Leave a Comment

Best for: Fans of Liane Moriarty, fans of mysteries that unfold in unexpected ways, and fans of books that go a little deeper than you might expect. In a nutshell: Alice and Jack Munro abandoned their baby girl – named Enigma – 70 years ago. She’s now a grandmother, and one of the sisters who rescued her has died, leaving behind some unfinished business. Worth quoting: “If her back had ever hurt like this when she was twenty she would have been hysterical, demanding painkillers […]

She Did It Again

Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty

August 30, 2019 by ASKReviews Leave a Comment

BINGO: Listicle (ELLE magazine Best Fall Books 2018) Best for: People who like Liane Moriarty books. In a nutshell: Nine people arrive at a health retreat looking for change. They find a little more than that. Worth quoting: “The first was a woman … wearing an oversized, brand-new-looking whit t-shirt that hung almost to her knees over black leggings, the standard outfit for an average-sized woman who starts a new exercise program and thinks her perfectly normal body should be hidden.” Why I chose it: […]

Two Star Reviews

Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty

White Houses by Amy Bloom

The Favorite Sister by Jessica Knoll

The Widow by Fiona Barton

August 14, 2019 by Caitlin_D 5 Comments

Tonight’s reviews will focus on books that were a little … disappointing because I have to write those reviews at some point and now is as good a time as any. At least my first lackluster books checks off a few Bingo boxes! CBR Bingo: Reading TBR Nine Perfect Strangers, Liane Moriarty I put Nine Perfect Strangers on my TBR two months before its release and bought a copy within a week of its debut yet somehow it took me seven months to pick it […]
