Rebecca’s Pick: The Bad Guys by Aaron Blabey Straying a little from my usual picks I give you: The Bad Guys. Is it a children’s graphic novel? Yes. Are there fart jokes? Yes, lots. But, stick with me, this is a fun one that adults can enjoy – with or without kids! Just because a…

Solutions and Other Problems
Natasha’s Pick: Solutions and Other Problems by Allie Brosh To say this book is an interesting one, isn’t doing it justice. To say that I only loved this book doesn’t even come close. It toes the lines of being a graphic novel and just being a book with lots of illustrations that it sits there with…
The Unhoneymooners
Cori’s Pick: The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren I’m at a weird point in the year where I just keep telling myself everything is fine. We’re all okay. It’s fine. I must not be totally convinced though because I’ve read about 5 cheesy romance books back-to-back, which is not ‘normal’ for me but hey, right on…
My Oxford Year
Cori’s Pick: My Oxford Year by Julia Whelan Did you read the JoJo Moyes Me Before You trilogy? Did you love it? If so, I highly recommend you snatch up Julia Whelan’s tasty debut (April, 2018), sit back and prepare to laugh and perhaps shed a tear – no spoilers here, but for me, the…
Love on Lexington Avenue
Cori’s Pick: Love on Lexington Avenue by Lauren Layne I’ve been reading some more ‘literary’ fiction lately and was feeling like I needed to change it up a bit. I picked up this book without realizing it was the second book of The Central Park Pact Series, so I read the series out of order. …

Dear Girls
Cori’s Pick: Dear Girls by Ali Wong Comedian Ali Wong has gifted us this book of unfiltered letters to her young daughters and I think we all need to thank her. Full disclosure: it’s vulgar in places and at times it made me blush, but it’s totally real and I loved it! She talks about…
Penguin Problems
Dallas’ Pick: Penguin Problems by: Jory John Oh my goodness, this is probably the funniest children’s book I have ever read! The title is what made me pick up this book to begin with; it is just fun to say. As I began to read it and learn about this penguin that has such a…

Be Frank with Me
Cori’s Pick: Be Frank With Me by Julia Claiborne Johnson The debut novel of Julia Claiborne Johnson, her well-developed and quirky characters left me hungry to read anything and everything else she (hopefully) releases. This is the story of an eccentric woman and her son, and how a newly acquired assistant-turned-nanny gets wrapped into their…
