The Bookish Life of Nina Hill was utterly charming, relatable, and filled with laugh-out-loud moments. I suspect many readers will see parts of themselves reflected in Nina. This is one of those books that I had read in two sittings which is an accomplishment when you have a toddler. I found Nina’s story to be engaging; filled with colorful characters and behaviors that reminded me of myself and people I know. I enjoyed the narrator’s voice in this book. While […]

First, I must confess this is not the sort of book I usually read these days. One look at my Goodreads shelf and you can see that I have developed a preference for lighthearted, romantic, and humorous novels. I was surprised to win the sweepstakes for this work and thought that since it intrigued me enough to go through the hassle of filling in a form, the least I could do was read it and share my thoughts. All expectations […]
