Welcome to my altered journey through life. You never know if I will be into home improvements, knee deep in a good book, on an Alaskan cruise or just being silly. I hope this blog will give you tips, tricks, ideas and books to add to your TBR list. Thanks for stopping by.

September Book Pick
August has been a slow reading month for me. I had Jury Duty, worked two jobs, and of course the start of school. I am pretty excited to say that as of August 27, I can breathe a little bit so I have cranked up the reading. This week I decided to make the decision on what book I will recommend for the September book pick. I have read a couple of good ones the last two weeks but have decided that Every Vow You Break by Peter Swanson was worth every second I put into it. It was a book that was sort of hard to put down. The book starts with a bachelorette party weekend and ends in an affair that leads to loads of suspense and a few twists. I hope you like it.

August Book Pick
Alva Vanderbilt wants nothing more than to fit in society, but society says she is "new" money and no one feels that status has any value. The chief society lady who is shunning Alva is Caroline Astor. Caroline runs all social functions, events, and controls who is in and who is out.
There are no murders here, but you will see tons of drama. Picture the mom from the Titanic movie times ten and that is what these characters are like (and remember the characters are based on real women). They are trying to one-up each other and tear each other down, they are complete MEAN GIRLS.
All that being said, I found this a fun, and worthy book pick. It is such a departure from my normal reads as it is set in the last 19th century New York City and features no war.
Renee Rosen always knows how to give us a story that is unique and interesting and she does not fail with this one.
