The Girls by Emma Cline is easily one of the most buzzed about books of the summer. I bought it a few weeks ago and finally cracked it open on our family vacation. The story centers around Evie, who is drawn into a cult in the late 60’s. Inspired by Charles Manson and the murders his…

I’ve confessed it here before, but for years, (like over 20) I have loved romance novels. In middle school, I read Phyllis Whitney and Nora Roberts all the time, which basically ruined men for me. Then, as I got older, I read Susan Elizabeth Philips and Jennifer Cruisie, because there characters were pretty funny. Flash forward…
It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Mindy Kaling. I loved her first book Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, and so, as you can imagine, I was excited to pick up Why Not Me?. In a nutshell, this book picks up where the other left off. Her first talked a lot about lessons…
So, this round-up of books is basically full of light reads. Other than the fourth one listed, your mind will not be expanded reading any of these, but sometimes that’s the point. A fun, simple getaway can be just what the doctor ordered when life is busy and hard. For me, reading has never had…
