Bio

I read because I must. It's like breathing to me. And I love talking about books. But I'm also an Arsenal fan, a wine drinker, a music lover and weirdly obsessed with pop culture. I mostly blog about books, but sometimes about things I'm thinking or doing. When I'm not on the blog, I'm scoping deals for a professional services company, hanging out with friends, or seeing some live theater.

The Bookish Life of Nina Hill

It’s part Pride and Prejudice, part its own story, and a delight to read. One of my Facebook friends recommended this one as she read the ARC, and I immediately added it to my to-read pile on her recommendation. The Harry Potter references in this book really made it for me. How can you not […]

The Party

I listened to Lisa Hall’s The Party. I was intrigued by the description: It was just a party. But it turned into a nightmare. When Rachel wakes up in a strange room, the morning after a neighbour’s party, she has no memory of what happened the night before. Why did her husband leave her alone […]

The Great Believers

My book club recently read The Great Believers, and while there was some discussion about some of the author’s choices (which I will get to later), it was one we all really liked reading. From the publisher’s summary: In 1985, Yale Tishman, the development director for an art gallery in Chicago, is about to pull […]
