My Current #TBR Pile

Happy Thursday! Yesterday, I finished an awesome book, The Forever Summer by Jamie Brenner. When I finish a book that I really like, I usually have to wait a day or so to dive into a new one. Today, when I went to my "pile" I had a moment of panic. I have no idea which one to choose. They are alllll calling my name. Here's a quick look at the books that are calling my name:

The Housekeeper by Suellen Dainty- A high profile blogger and celebrity needs a housekeeper and Anne Morgan needs a job. So begins a twisting tale with secrets and lies. The only way I actually love housework is when I am reading about someone else doing it!

The Breakdown by B.A. Paris- From the author of Behind Closed Doors, this book is set to be the thriller of the summer.

Marlena by Julie Buntin - I have seen mixed reviews of this book, some love it, some say it's a pass but I noticed that Emma Roberts was reading it and giving it a thumbs up so I am going to give it a chance. There's a missing girl, a mysterious, lonely group of teenagers and a past that can't be ignored...

All Grown Up by Jami Attenberg - This has been on my pile forever and I really want to read it. Can someone just add one more day to my week? The main character is wondering, what does it take to be an adult? I ask myself that same question on a daily basis, so I have a feeling I'll be able to relate....

Hello, Sunshine by Laura Dave - When your first name is Sunshine, you have a lot to live up to. And on the surface, famous YouTube Star and cookbook author Sunshine Mackenzie is nailing it. But of course, as we all do, she's hiding a few secrets that will have a catastrophic impact if they are ever discovered.

Book Review: The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware

Ruth Ware always delivers when it comes to interesting and layered characters. The Turn of the Key is a thrilling account of Rowan Caine's experience as a live-in nanny in a luxurious smart home unlike anything she has ever seen. This mystery is the epitome of the saying "if it's too good to be true, it probably is" because even though moving into the home of the Elincourts is an upgrade from her tiny apartment and dead-end job, it comes at a steep price. Every chapter, there is something suspicious that kept me wondering if anyone in this suspenseful book was telling the truth. Which, is obvious in the first page because Rowan is writing a letter to a lawyer, from jail, because she's being held for murder. Who is Rowan? Did she come into the Elincourt's lives for a reason? She should have known something was wrong on the day she interviewed, when one of the children warned her to never come back. With a house full of surveillance cameras and parents who ar

Book Review: Summer of '69 by Elin Hilderbrand

One of my most favorite book of the summer so far! Buy it here! When Elin comes out with a new book, it's a must. Like a don't-even-read-the-synopsis no-brainer. Just as she delivered a multi-dimensional page turner with The Perfect Summer, Summer of '69 is just as much a treat- but with historical fiction at its core, which is a genre Elin hasn't presented before. The story lines of several members of the Foley/Levin families intertwine as their lives during the summer of 1969 unfurl (or in some cases, unravel). There's 13-year-old Jessie, her mother Kate, and Kate's other three children, Tiger, a soldier serving in Vietnam, Kirby- a flower child with a rebellious streak and a past she's trying to run from, and Blair, who is about to give birth to twins and just made the biggest mistake of her life. At the top of the family tree is the matriarch, grandmother Exalta, who floats through the rooms of the family's sprawling Nantucket
