Book Review, Catch Up: Part 4
The Hypnotist's Love Story by Liane Moriarty I really enjoy this author, I've read a few of her books & each time I'm consumed by the story. I read this book in a day, 1 day!

I weep for the daughters with outstretched arms in anticipation of their mothers love, left in perpetual wait.

Review: The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli
This book took me longer than it should have to finish, with only 336 pages this should have taken me 2 weeks tops! Instead it took me almost 6 weeks but honestly it’s no reflection of the book. I wasn’t in a reading mood for a while which is why I didn’t finish this book... Continue Reading →
