This book ends on a cliffhanger. eagerly awaiting a follow up.Set in the Lowcountry of South Carolina family and historical drama pulled me in, I didn’t want the story to end.Conservation is clearly something Monroe values and vivid story telling put me in the landscape and setting.

Beautiful Toni Morrison. Stringing words like musical notes. A book that requires your full attention but leaves you a more fulfilled person and will stay with after you finish. Touches on belonging, race and gender.

The story follows a millennial couple living the perfect instagram life. It turns out to be empty and meaningless. Perfection, although coveted, isn’t what it is cracked up to be. Well worth a read.

Another reason to keep reading.

With last week having been Banned Books week. We have the freedom to read and should celebrate it with every book. Pick up a banned/challenged book from your library while you can.

Written by a woman about women. All ages, backgrounds and sexualities. Each character adds their own uniqueness. I enjoyed this book so much. I didn’t like all of the characters, but they were all important in bringing the stories together.

Never Let Me Go - Kazuo Ishiguro

Another great read , although a disturbing and bizarre story that it took some time to leave behind after I finished it. It leaves you bruised. Best to read without any knowledge of the plot. Dive in and you’ll likely not be able to put it down.

Lots of great summer reading.

Under the Whispering Door - T. J. Klune

This should be mandatory reading. If you ever wondered why a relationship didn’t work out this book might offer some insight. Easy to read, practical application, exercises and questions to reflect upon to help develop healthier and more meaningful ways to connect.

A woman imprisoned, raped by her captor trying to raise her son as normally as she can in captivity. The story is told through the eyes of the child and a page turner. Highly recommended.
