Fiction 53

Final Girls

If you’re looking for a book that is sure to give you goosebumps, look no further! Beginning, middle, and end. There was something to keep me flipping pages and losing sleep. It wasn’t my best decision to start this one sitting in a cabin alone on a foggy morning with a  view of the eerily calm […]

The Clockwork Dynasty

The Clockwork Dynasty by Daniel H. Wilson is a meditation on the purpose of a soul, regardless of the case that carries it around. The story follows a young woman, June, who specializes in historical clockwork and machinery, and a machine, Peter, who is as historical as they come. Their stories intersect as the race […]

The Kingmaker’s Daughter

The Kingmaker’s Daughter by Philippa Gregory was everything you could want from an audiobook while embarking on a very, very long road trip. If you’re into historical fiction. The Kingmaker’s Daughter follows the story of Anne Warwick, and her sister Isabelle, as they navigate the complicated and ever-changing 15th century English court, looking for a […]

The Vegetarian

With hints of feminism and vegetarianism, you’ll close this book thinking “what did I just read?” It’s a quick story, but it isn’t what you’d expect.  In addition to Pride & Prejudice, J. Mackenzie picked this title for October book club pick and I’m glad she did — but not because it was the best […]

Commonwealth

What a story. I took this book, along with Final Girls, to the cabin with me this summer and I wasn’t sure if I’d enjoy this one due to my own personal family history. Commonwealth: A Novel, by Ann Patchett, begins at the christening party celebrating Fix and Beverly’s new daughter, Frances, or Franny as we get […]

Written in a time when a single woman’s choices were limited, we watch as a woman’s life progresses from pleasant to boring to sad, where all major decisions, including those of […]

The Windfall

The Windfall: A Novel by Diksha Basu explores what it means to come into a lot of money in modern day India. It looks at what it means to the person, and how it affects the family. But, even deeper still, Basu uses the sudden change in family dynamic to explore what it means to […]

Big Little Lies

What happens when a group of moms play dirty in the schoolyard? Drama. That’s what! This book is like a season of a primetime ABC show. Oh wait, you can watch this show on HBO! I didn’t really have any expectations going into this book, I didn’t even read the back cover until well into […]
