Book Review: “Big Little Lies” By Liane Moriarty

January 2, 2015 by Christine Stock Leave a Comment

I’m not much of a Hollywood Star gazer, but I have to say that I kind of love Jennifer Garner. My admiration of her has nothing to do with her acting ability (although I hear that she’s quite talented), and everything to do with what I’ve witnessed of her mothering. I can’t count how many pictures … [Read more...]

When I Instagrammed this photo of myself on a recent Friday night and captioned it, "Feel like I'm catching up with an old friend", so many of my own acquaintances replied and commented about how much they're all looking forward to catching up with Bridget Jones, too.  (Side note...how much would … [Read more...]

August 18, 2009 by Kath

Right from the outset, you'll know this isn't your usual YA Fantasy read, as author Hiromi Goto's mastery of setting paints … [Read more...]

No, I'm into the page-turning, all-engrossing, character-driven escapist novel: exclusively. So much so that when my new … [Read more...]
