summer reading recap

While I might not have been around here much lately (more on that to come!) I have spent the past couple of months reading like a fiend. I've tapped into the world of suspenseful fiction - a new world for me - and it is paying off in mounds!

Whether you're about to head out on a weekend getaway or just need to give your eyes a break from Netflix, take a peek at my recent reads below. They are all highly recommended!

All the Missing Girls | Might be the best thriller I've read all year It's chronologically reversed - keeps you on your toes!

The Woman in Cabin 10 | A rollercoaster of suspense - and the ending was just perfect.

Today Will Be Different | Brimming with quirky, well-developed characters much like Maria Semple's more popular Where'd You Go Bernadette?

The Couple Next Door | Had no idea which direction this story would go and the ending had me positively blindsided - in the best way!

Luckiest Girl Alive | Very intense and not for the faint of heart. Not my top recommendation, but highly acclaimed by many.

We Were Liars | Aristocratic family dynamics gone terribly wrong - with an ending that no one could predict.

Big Little Lies | If you haven't heard of it, you've had your head in the sand. Classic Liane Moriarty - twisting plots and invested characters. Read this one over a year ago but never shared it with you!

The Husband's Secret | Very similar to Big Little Lies, in plot line and quality. But different enough that it's worth the read!

Last Letter from your Lover | Jojo Moyes does it again - this book had my heart wrenching!

The Truth About Forever | This was first Sarah Dessen, recommended to me by a friend and it did not disappoint. Wonderful storyline and memorable characters with a dash of comedy and quirk. Gotta love some quirk.

quick fixes

#1 

Move things around! Sometimes your space is just stale and needs variation. Figure out another way for the puzzle pieces to fit together.

 

#2

Bring in some greenery or fresh flowers. Guaranteed to bring a little more life to any space.

 

#3

Open up your blinds! Natural light restores a space like none other. Short supply of windows? Increase your own lighting with bright and effective lamps.
