Loved it.

This memoir of Locke's love with her husband whom she met on a trip to Italy, their journey through life, the loss of Saro, and her relationship with Sicily really touched me. It found myself fighting tears during parts and smiling through others. I loved learning about Sicily (the culture, the food, etc.,.) through her eyes. All around a well written tribute to love and family.

Unlike the first 2 books of Center's I've read and really enjoyed, this one fell flat. Characters were okay, I didn't love the plot.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book depicting motherhood and friendships within a playgroup in Manhattan, and with the younger woman they hired to play music for their babies. I was not expecting some of the twists and turns, which I really liked.

My absolute favorite book from the past few years. Love the story, characters, and writing. Easily became a Tara Jenkins Reid fan after this one.

Well, here is a fantasy fiction that I enjoyed. Instead of dark and dramatic, it's bright and captivating. A magical house full of loveable, quirky characters. I loved Linus's journey throughout the book. Different--unconventional, yet comforting. I kind of loved it, and the whole time I kept thinking that I could see it being made into a movie.
