Fault Lines was a book I randomly bought solely based on the cover. Set in Tokyo, the novel begins with housewife Mizuki debating jumping off the balcony of her highrise apartment where she lives with her husband and two children.

“The Hacienda” by Isabel Canas
This book was a mood! I was totally unprepared for how much I would love reading it! I am not a reader who enjoys scary horror, but this was not what I was expecting! I loved the two main characters Beatriz and Andrés. The story is told between their points of view with some chapters… Continue reading “The Hacienda” by Isabel Canas

A Review: “Happiness for Beginners” by Katherine Center
This is my fourth time reading a book by Katherine Center. She is definitely my favorite author recently. I even selected her book, The Bodyguard, for my July Book of the Month pick.

A Review: “Things You Save in a Fire” by Katherine Center
I've been on a Katherine Center kick lately with this being the third book I've read by her in the last two and a half months. Center's writing is so easy and enjoyable to me. I guess that's why her novels are considered "comfort reads." In this novel, main character Cassie Hanwell is a firefighter… Continue reading A Review: “Things You Save in a Fire” by Katherine Center

A Review: “Party of Two” by Jasmine Guillory
This is my first time reading a book by Jasmine Guillory, a black chick-lit author who has gained popularity in recent years. I had seen her adorable book covers and always thought I'd like to read one. I decided on Party of Two mainly because it featured an interracial couple, Max and Olivia. Max is… Continue reading A Review: “Party of Two” by Jasmine Guillory
