Pretty in Plaid: A Life, a Witch, and a Wardrobe; or, the Wonder Years before the Condescending, Egomanical, Self-Centered Smart-Ass Phase by Jen Lancaster

This book had me howling out loud! Who knew I wasn't the only one with Girl Scout badge issues (although I didn't take things quite that far). If you enjoyed any of Jen Lancaster's other books, or if you survived the fashion trends of 70's, 80's and/or 90's, this is a must read.

Invisible Sisters by Jessica Handler
Invisible Sisters

This is an amazing tale of loss, but also survival. So rarely is sibling loss talked about, let alone this honestly and brilliantly. A reminder that to some, a question about one's family isn't always simple to answer.

An odd book to read on a honeymoon, but definitely a page turner. Really would love to hear the ex-husband's side of the story.

It is rare when a sequel is better than a first, especially when it is as great as Toys Go Out, but Emily Jenkins did it. Children and adults will love the wit and humor, joy and sorrow that live in these pages. Definitely best enjoyed read aloud.

The Mercy Papers: A Memoir of Three Weeks by Robin Romm
The Mercy Papers: A Memoir of Three Weeks

The grief shared in these pages is raw, real, and beautiful. As someone who has lost her mother, it was both heartbreaking and comforting to read Robib Romm's journey. Bring tissue.
