Me, late with a blog post? Shocking! This is definitely the overall highest-rated roundup I’ve posted so far, so get to the library ASAP, friends. Happy reading! Colorfully yours, Haley Oxygen by Carol Cassella—4/5 If you’re squeamish about medical topics, this one probably isn’t for you—but my curious brain ate it right up. It’s a […]
My March Reads
A day late…but hopefully not a dollar short. Happy reading, friends! Colorfully yours, Haley We Are the Brennans by Tracey Lange—3.5/5 I obviously had no choice but to read this. Not only do I share a last name with the characters, but my dad has always said the phrase “We are the Brennans” when he […]
My February Reads
I was hoping to get this posted while it was still February, but I feel like one week into March basically counts. Happy reading! Colorfully yours, Haley All the Money in the World by Robert Anthony Siegel—2/5 Friends have been telling me to track my books on Goodreads for a while now. But, I like(d) […]
Everything I’ve Read So Far in 2021: Part Three
Just in the nick of time, I finished my 50th read of the year! I didn’t have an initial goal in mind, but I decided to count a few weeks ago and realized how close I was to that milestone—so why not reach it?! Don’t forget to catch up on Part 1 and Part 2 […]
Everything I’ve Read So Far in 2021: Part Two
Since my initial 2021 book review post (“Everything I’ve Read So Far in 2021“), I’ve knocked 25 more off my to-be-read list, so I was long overdue for a part two. To keep this post manageable for both me and you, dear reader, I’ve kept it to about half that and plan on posting a […]
Everything I’ve Read So Far in 2021
It’s no secret that I’m a bookworm. That’s why book reviews have always been a feature I’ve tried to keep up with on the blog. Since January, though, I’ve been breezing through books and keeping note of titles, but haven’t taken the time to sit back and talk about them. I recently did a poll […]
Book Review: Campaign Widows
As we approach the most important election this country has ever held, to say things are politically charged would be a gross understatement. I’m sure I’m not alone in that I feel torn between the need to stay informed on all things political and the desire to hide under the covers, pretending it’s not happening. […]
Book Review: All the Time in the World
Like many of us, I tend to be drawn to books that seem to have strong parallels to my own life. That’s what made me pick up All the Time in the World by Caroline Angell. First of all, it takes place on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, where I live. Secondly, the protagonist […]
Book Review: Salt in My Soul
A month or two ago, I finished a powerful memoir that had been on my to-be-read list before it even came out. But it was a read I needed to sit with. As much as it shook me to my core—tears during the last several chapters included—I couldn’t just run to my computer and type […]
Book Review: The Last Mrs. Parrish
Big Little Lies meets Gone Girl in Liv Constantine’s The Last Mrs. Parrish. A new woman is in town—a ritzy, gossip-filled Connecticut town, at that. And she’s here to shake things up. Amber Patterson feels virtually invisible. She wasn’t born into wealth and she’s sick of watching from afar as socialite Daphne Parrish rules the […]
