Quirky Heroines in Unlikely Situations

The Girl He Used to Know by Tracey Garvis Graves

On the Island (On the Island #1) by Tracey Garvis Graves

The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman

(5 stars) The Girl He Used to Know by Tracey Garvis Graves This book wrecked me. It is the only book I’ve read in probably the last several years where I had maybe 30 pages left and I skipped to the end to read the last page because I couldn’t bear it any longer. I then felt deep shame, of course, but no regrets. “Life isn’t easy for anyone. We all have challenges. We all face adversity. It’s how we overcome it that makes us […]

Julien-Shaped Shrug

June 5, 2016 by Mrs. Julien 5 Comments

Worst Read of the Year Contender! All-around good person, Kate, runs a local food bank. Desperate for funds, she makes a local TV appearance asking for donations. Her storefront is delighted to receive a recurring anonymous monthly donation of $1,000. It always arrives in a paper bag and Kate delights in dumping the money out. If it’s singles and the local peeler bar is taking contributions, it might work. If it’s $5 or $10 bills, it’s still vaguely okay, but if the bills are any […]
