The Perfect Mother by Aimee Molloy

Posted on May 14, 2018 by Rachel Rappaport • Leave a comment

There needs to be a new subgenre of books that describe a book where something mysterious happens but that at the heart of the book is family-centered general fiction. I’ve read many books where a teenage girl disappears but the book is mostly about what is going on in the town vs. a true mystery or investigation. … Continue reading →

Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell

I have not had great luck with books this month. Even ones I really looked forward to like the new Meg Wolitzer didn’t really grab me. I must have started and stopped a dozen books this month. I had high hopes for Then She Was Gone. I’ve read Lisa Jewell’s books since college. Back then … Continue reading →

Gone Without A Trace by Mary Torjussen

The premise of Gone Without A Trace is interesting, a British woman returns from an out-of-town job interview to find that her boyfriend of four years not only left her with no warning but actually removed every trace of him from her house. Wine glasses left to him from a relative, his duvet cover, the … Continue reading →

Trying to get back into the habit! Night Film was the 6th book I’ve read so far for 2018 so I’m off to a good start! I’ve started a new page on my book list for this year so we will see how many books I end up reading. I had read Marisha Pessl’s first … Continue reading →

Y Is for Yesterday by Sue Grafton

I’ve been reading this series since I was about 12 so of course, I pre-ordered Y is for Yesterday almost 9 months ago and read it the day it came out. I’ve always enjoyed Kinsey Millhone and her weird peanut butter and pickle sandwiches and affinity for the elderly. Kinsey was in her early 30s … Continue reading →

Miss Me When I’m Gone: A Novel by Emily Arsenault

This book was an unexpected delight. I didn’t remember what it was about at all or what it was about but it was on my Amazon wishlist (I’ve since made a dedicated book wish list, why did that take so long?) so I requested it and it was finally available to download to my Kindle. … Continue reading →

The Ice Cream Girls by Dorothy Koomson

    Computer problems plagued me again this week. We’ve had awful internet issues since we moved in this house in 2005 and since we live in Baltimore City we have little choice as to service providers. We finally bought a new desktop for me to work on (our old one was so noisy and … Continue reading →
