Crazy Rich Asians
So, I’m a little late to the Crazy Rich Asians party. This book was recommended to me about a year ago by a friend, and I snapped it up pretty quickly. Then, I sort of forgot I had it – despite the fact that it’s been buzzed about for a while. And, I’m pleased to report…

Jennifer Greene
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…

Book Review: Why Not Me
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…

Like a Wrecking Ball (Eric Church)
When I was in elementary school, I got Madonna’s True Blue album on cassette. I listened to that whole thing over and over and over again. (My poor parents can vouch for this.) In high school, I was obsessed with everything on The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill CD. (I still am. That album holds up.) Then, in college, whenever I…
