Blog Tour: Girl Unknown

January 20, 2018 by Ann Marie 9 Comments

Blog Tour: Girl Unknown

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for Girl Unknown! This book is unique in many ways. The first is that Karen Perry is actually a pen name for two writers collaborating on this book. This is the first book, to the best of my knowledge, that I've read penned by two authors and it definitely worked here. Most of the book is told in the alternating first person points of view of Caroline and ...

Throwback Thursday: It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover

Throwback Thursday: It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover

Throwback Thursday is a weekly meme hosted by Renee at It’s Book Talk. Throwback Thursday is an awesome opportunity to share old favorites as well as older books in our TBR. I love this idea as I’m often distracted by all of the shiny, new books I see every day and don’t make it back to the ones that have been sitting on my shelves. My pick of the the week is: It Ends with Us by Colleen ...

First Chapter/First Paragraph: In Every Moment We Are Still Alive

First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros is a weekly meme hosted by Diane at Bibliophile By the Sea. Each week, participants share a paragraph (or two) from a book they are currently reading or are planning to read soon. Today I'm going to share excerpt of the first paragraph of In Every Moment We Are Still Alive by Tom Malmquist. This first paragraph is about two pages long so I'm going to ...

Review: Grist Mill Road by Christopher J. Yates

December 23, 2017 by Ann Marie 7 Comments

Review: Grist Mill Road by Christopher J. Yates

If you're a friend or follower on Goodreads, you may have seen my status update at page 108: "The jury is still out on this one. I'm not a fan of omitting quotation marks and it's moving a little slowly." And this one at page 163: "Okay, now I'm hooked." A brief status update at the end of the book would have looked something like this: "Huh? What the heck?" And that pretty much sums ...

Throwback Thursday: Pope Joan

Throwback Thursday is a weekly meme hosted by Renee at It’s Book Talk. Throwback Thursday is an awesome opportunity to share old favorites as well as older books in our TBR. I love this idea as I only started blogging about two years ago. Therefore, I have lots of old favorites to talk about. While I may not remember all of the details needed to write a complete review, I’m happy to share the ...

Blog Tour: The Trick by Emanuel Bergmann

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for The Trick by Emanuel Bergmann. I am absolutely delighted to introduce you to this book!! If you're sensing, based on the two exclamation points I've already used, that I'm feeling enthusiastic about this book, you would be correct. The Trick combines so many of my favorite things in terms of characters, plot, and themes. Emanuel Bergmann has crafted a ...

Review: The Girls in the Picture by Melanie Benjamin

December 15, 2017 by Ann Marie 16 Comments

Review: The Girls in the Picture by Melanie Benjamin

I really enjoyed The Swans of Fifth Avenue and started getting excited about The Girls in the Picture as soon as it was announced. In fact, it was the book I was most excited about receiving at Book Expo 2017. Melanie Benjamin was as much a delight in person, at her in-booth signing, as she is on her social media accounts. She even allowed me to blather on about her kitchen reno (it looks ...

Blog Tour and Giveaway: Little Broken Things

Blog Tour and Giveaway: Little Broken Things

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour of Little Broken Things! I was very excited to read this book based on the blurb. The gorgeous cover certainly did not hurt! I was quickly drawn in by the first few chapters. After all, it's not every day that a sister alters the appearance of a child, assigns her a new name, and drops her off at her semi-estranged sister's house with no explanation. But ...
