The Whispers by Ashley Audrain
Full confession: Iโm an Ashley Audrain super fan. When โThe Pushโ was released, I told every friend, co-worker and family member to read it. I also bought a signed copy for my bookshelf. So when โThe Whispersโ was announced, it went to the top of my most anticipated books of the year. And Iโm happy… Keep Reading
DROWNING by T.J. NEWMAN
WOW. Literally on the edge of my seat the entire time. In what is sure to be THE thriller of the summer, TJ Newman has hit another electrifying note with Drowning, out on May 30th! If you grew up like I did with disaster movies like โTowering Infernoโ and โThe Poseidon Adventureโ, this story… Keep Reading
HORSE by GERALDINE BROOKS
Simply magnificent! Deftly weaving together several interconnected stories and characters, โHorseโ tells the fictionalized story of the real-life thoroughbred Lexington, one of the greatest race horses of all time. As a lifelong rider, I was completely entranced by this story. I was once obsessed with racing, and as a young girl followed the career of… Keep Reading

THE VILLA by RACHEL HAWKINS
My favorite Rachel Hawkins book to date! A book within a book, two authors who are frenemies, an Italian villa, and Julia Whelan narrating. Loved it all. Emily and Chess are lifelong best friends but have grown apart as their lives have taken different paths. Emily is suffering from anxiety and writer’s block, so… Keep Reading
YOU COULD MAKE THIS PLACE BEAUTIFUL by MAGGIE SMITH
I first took notice of this incredibly poignant memoir after reading an excerpt where the author Maggie Smith described the many ways her marriage changed after one of her poems, โGood Bonesโ, went viral. Smith purposefully wrote this book not as a tell-all, but as a โtell-mineโ. She recognizes that this is only her… Keep Reading
ADELAIDE by GENEVIEVE WHEELER
I just finished the audiobook of Adelaide and I am not over it! This is the book I wish I had in my late twenties. Itโs giving โNormal Peopleโ and early Colleen Hoover. This is a love story but not a traditional one. This is an unrequited love story which actually has a beautiful… Keep Reading

PINEAPPLE STREET by JENNY JACKSON
I have so many conflicting feelings about Pineapple Street! This buzzy debut from powerhouse editor Jenny Jackson has been described โas close to crazy rich WASPs as WASPs can getโ which pretty much sums up the basic plot. Narrator Marin Ireland literally elevates any material, so it was her lively narration that really kept me… Keep Reading
