Intepreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri

Intepreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri

Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri This book. This.freaking.book. Lahiri accomplished the incredible feat of making me feel that I'd lived each story. And I'm a white chick from suburban Connecticut. She wrote these tales in a way that made me feel like I had experienced these moments... that they were a part of my story too. From the first word, she had me. Not even the first sentence... the first WORD. While it's a collection of short stories, you'll find yourse
Wonder Boys by Michael Chabon

Wonder Boys by Michael Chabon

Wonder Boys by Michael Chabon This was my very first Chabon, but this has absolutely inspired me to take on The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay next! I've had a few people recommend it to me... all people whose opinion I highly respect. So you'll likely be hearing more about be on the subject of Monsieur Chabon in the future. Fair warning! In Wonder Boys, I love how deliciously and frustratingly flawed Chabon's characters are. They make horrible life choices... w
Call the Midwife by Jennifer Worth

Call the Midwife by Jennifer Worth

Call the Midwife by Jennifer Worth I am completely obsessed with PBS' series Call the Midwife. As the new season doesn't start until late March, I was jonesing for some tales from London's East End. And as I had a shiny new Audible credit just sitting there for me to use, I decided to listen to Jennifer Worth's memoir of her time as a midwife with the sisters of St. Raymund Nonnatus. As any reader knows, it's rare that the movie/show gets the book right. Although I have go
Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King

Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King

Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King If you've spent any time reading this blog, you know of my all-encompassing and neverending love for one Monsieur King. I started reading him as a young kid and while I'm sure most of his stories went a bit over my head at that time, I instantly fell in love with his writing and the worlds he is so well known for creating. Mr. Mercedes is one of King's newest and I was so excited to pick it up. While it's not his best, it was thoroughly entertai
Wild by Cheryl Strayed

Wild by Cheryl Strayed

Wild by Cheryl Strayed With my internet feed being full of Reese Witherspoon's dirty face with a backpack strapped on, I figured it was time I finally picked up Wild by Cheryl Strayed. I am fascinated by people who take on this kind of challenge. As a Northeastener myself, I am more familiar with The Appalachian Trail. In fact, Husband and I spent 75% of our time during the last meeting with our financial advisor, forcing him to regale us with stories about the journey, his
Longbourn by Jo Baker

Longbourn by Jo Baker

Longbourn by Jo Baker As a fan of Pride and Prejudice, this book was squarely in my wheelhouse. And it did not disappoint. I loved how Baker didn't make Austen's main characters the focal point of the story, while still providing some interesting insight into personalities and motivations of those characters. Even if, as in Longbourn, those insights aren't always positive. We all love Lizzy Bennett's tough, stubborn, independent spirit... but as with any person we love, t
