Why I Read It: I’m all about summer reading and beach reading, and It Happens in the Hamptons by Holly Peterson looked perfect when I saw the synopsis. I love stories about “locals vs. vacationers” – especially in tourist areas like the Hamptons. Review: This is the very best kind of beach/warm weather reading. Katie moved […]
why i read it: Andrew Wyeth is my favorite artist and his painting Christina’s World is my favorite of his work, so when I found out about A Piece Of The World by Christina Baker Kline, it shot to the top of my most-anticipated list. And I loved this book so much. I wish I could read it […]
Review: I finished this book about a week ago and I can’t stop thinking about it. Now that I have finally been introduced to Susan Elizabeth Phillips and the Chicago Stars Series, I need more now. I’m desperate to go back and start this series from the beginning. Why did I wait so long to […]

This is the third book in the Butternut Lake Series that I’ve read in the past few weeks, and so far they’ve all been like the very best of sweet summertime/comfort reads. The Space Between Sisters is the fourth book in the series, and while it comes after […]
Review: This is a great read for summer and a great comfort read. Up At Butternut Lake by Mary McNear centers around Allie Beckett and her son Wyatt who are grieving the loss of their husband/father after he was killed in action in Afghanistan. This happened before the book begins. When the book opens, the mother […]
Review: When I picked this book up, I thought it was going to be a light beach read based on this cover! It was clear within the first few pages of the book that there was much more story within these pages than a light beach read. And that’s okay, because I like stories that […]
Review: Little Beach Street Bakery by Jenny Colgan is my favorite new find! I tore through it in one day. Love love loved. Polly is heartbroken after she and her ex-boyfriend lose both their business and their flat. The stress from all of this causes a breakup that devastates Polly, so she ends up leaving […]
Review: I loved The Turning Point by Freya North. I’ve SO been in the mood for books just like this one lately. It is in London, by chance, that Frankie and Scott run into each other. Both are out of town working. While talking one evening, they discover that they both have a common interest […]
