I have been reading books by bestselling author Susan May Warren for years. One of my favorite series, which I reviewed for 5 Minutes for Books, is her Josey series: Chill Out, Josey!, Everything’s Coming Up Josey, and Get Cozy, Josey!. This series is lighthearted and funny, and I highly recommend it. In her new…

In Malice Quite Close
In Malice, Quite Close is the kind of book that gets into your head and lingers there. It’s got a gripping plot and it’s really well-written, so that it pulls you in. Don’t get into the trap of reading too fast though. This is a book to read slowly, enjoying the descriptions of houses and…

Experiencing a stroke in one’s twenties isn’t a common occurrence, but that was…

I’ve seen the previews for the new movie I Don’t Know How She Does It starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Greg Kinnear, Pierce Brosnan and Kelsey Grammar (and more). The cast is incredible, and the previews look great. It looks like a fun mom’s night out sort of movie — one that I figured I’d rent…
The Winters in Bloom
I looked forward to my second experience with a page-turning character-driven novel by author Lisa Tucker when I downloaded The Winters in Bloom from NetGalley. The press blurb describes it as her “most optimistic work to date.” Generally that might be construed to mean that it was an optimistic undertaking, but knowing Lisa Tucker’s themes,…
Dear Money
India Palmer is a novelist. She’s not been a very successful novelist, with most of her books getting some critical acclaim but slow sales. It’s who she is.
