Welcome!

I have always had a love of reading and have been toying with the idea of starting a blog to share that love with others. Well here it is from the very beginning. Welcome! I received an advanced copy of a book this last week and loved it so much that I knew it would be the perfect way to kick off this blog.

The Fifth Letter by Nicola Moriarty is a wonderful story of friendship and secrets. A group of four women who have been friends since high school go on their yearly vacation together. Over time their relationships have become a bit strained and as an idea to help them know a bit more about each other they all decide to write an anonymous letter spilling their deepest secrets. One of the women has however written a fifth letter with a dark secret she has kept against another member of the group. When Joni finds this letter she tries to figure out which of her friends could have written the letter. She even goes as far as enlisting the help of a priest. There is of course the fallout that comes from the sharing of theses secrets but also a strengthening of other relationships in the lives of these women.

The Fifth Letter does not release until January 24th but you can preorder on Amazon now. This was the first book that I had read by Nicola Moriarty but I was very impressed. I am a big fan of her sister Liane Moriarty and highly recommend Big Little Lies which is soon to be released as a movie on HBO. Check out the trailer for it here. So excited!

Driftwood Bay

Driftwood Bay by Irene Hannon is a sweet and inspirational story. This is part of the Hope Harbor series but is the first one that I have read. I feel that this makes a good stand alone book but found myself becoming curious about the side characters in the story and would love to read the others in the series. Jeannette has created a new life for herself in the town of Hope Harbor. She owns a lavender farm and tea shop and spends most of her time alone. Her quiet world is shaken up when Logan moves in next door. Not only does he have a little girl, but also a trouble making dog that force their worlds to collide. Alongside the story of Jeannette and Logan is a beautiful and heartbreaking story of a family that has escaped persecution in Syria. Everyone in the story has their own heartbreak, but they all come together to create a new life and new relationships. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more books from Irene Hannon.

Zen Camera

Photography is one of my hobbies so I always jump at the chance to check out new books on the topic. Zen Camera: Creative Awakening With a Daily Practice in Photograph y by David Ulrich uses Zen principles to teach people how to take better photographs. It also teaches an important lesson in today's busy world which is to slow down and take in our surroundings.  Zen Camera is split into six different lessons. My favorite part of these lessons is that at the end of each one is a tip that can be applied or something that the reader should go out and try. I have been interested in photography for quite a while and have read many books on the topic but I felt that this book had a fresh approach to photography.  Zen Camera is good for anyone starting out and using the camera on their phone or for more advanced photographers that are looking for inspiration. The book is full of gorgeous images and practical advice.  I received this book from Blogging for Books for this ...

February 2017 Bookish Box Review

I received my February Bookish Box today! The theme this month was galentines day so the box focused on literary friendships. Inside the box were best book friend pins from Jar of Buttons. A mug with a quote from the Raven cycle series from Drop & Give Me Nerdy. A really cute Fangirl nerd necklace from Appraising Pages.  Also, a bookmark with an Anne of Green Gables quote from Lexy Olivia . There has been a bookmark in every box I have received from this shop and they are all beautiful!  My favorite item in the box was the shirt with the quote from The Perks of Being a Wallflower from Appraising Pages. This was my favorite book in high school and I am psyched to have it on a shirt. I will wear it proudly with my nerdy necklace. I really loved all of the items this month. It all fit very well with the theme and included items from some of my favorite books. I have loved all of the boxes that I have received and have yet to be disappointed. The Marc...
