My Favorite Memoir

Happy Monday dear reader,.

My favorite memoirs are those that are about food or travel. That's my jam right there.

Below you will find my favorite memoir. If you love food, travel, comedy, looking inside the life of a writer, or just dream of going to Paris...this memoir is for you.


1. Paris in Love by Eloisa James.
This is my favorite by far.  It's about a year Eloisa and her family (husband and 2 kids) spend in Paris on sabbatical. There is so much to love about this memoir. It's rich, funny, and has a travelogue feel to it. Even though Paris is my LEAST favorite city I've traveled to, I now want to go back just to see the Christmas markets, shop, and eat.  I've gotten something different from this each time I've listened to it. It's read by Eloisa and that makes for the best audio copies of memoirs. It feels more authentic.  Go buy this right now. Add it to your ever growing TBR. You won't be disappointed.

A Simple Favor: Review

Let me start off by saying this...I don't often read thrillers.  Why? I have an overactive imagination and a third degree black belt. I'm not the kind of person who needs to feel freaked out or that something is watching me. Also, why I don't do haunted houses.  A Simple Favor is one of those books that you can't put down once you pick it up. It sucks you in and you just have to know how the story ends. I'm normally a pretty vocal reader- I'll laugh out loud at things that are funny, but I said a LOT of bad words while reading this book. There were so many WTF?! moments. I started reading it last night and had to put it down for the night and read something lighthearted(thanks Mutts comics) before bed. I picked it up again this morning, read for 2 hours before work, and finished it on my lunch break.  Wow. The story loops and pulls and wraps you in it so tightly that you won't know who the bad guy really is or if the whole story is just a delusi...
