Mostly I pick which book to read next based on cover alone. When I first buy the book I skim the blurb to see if it's in the ballpark of something I'd like and to make sure it's got nothing in it that would turn me off. After sitting on my kindle or bookshelves for eons I've usually long forgotten...
I really enjoy Palmer's novels with one exception. My biggest complaint is that if she's going to mention sports of any kind she should make sure she has someone who understands them edit for her. Seriously "Phase One are the runners who will be finishing the 5K in under 8 min". Common sense told...
4.5 Stars. I admit it. I can be a snob. So when I first heard that this took place in Texas, I thought red neck country. I'm embarassed to admit it. But it's important for you to know that I went in thinking easy read with simple characters. Wow, when I'm wrong, I'm wrong. These characters are ...
I was quite pleasantly surprised by how different this novel is from Palmer's latest, Nowhere But Home. And yet, both novels are written beautifully, gripping and energetic in their depth. I love the voice of these narrators, so honest and raw, yet flawed too. Usually, once I've read at least two bo...
Nowhere But Home is the quintessential comfort read and I devoured it in one sitting on this rainy afternoon. Liza Palmer is an author I've had my eye on for awhile but I never seem to have caught hold of her books. As such, when I saw both this and Seeing Me Naked on the shelves of my library earli...
Incredible read. A new favorite. This book has so much heart and the protagonist, Queenie Wake, is a stunning example of character growth. I really clicked with her from the beginning and found myself crying in more than one chapter because there were just so many feelings. Seriously, just read it. ...
I am damn lucky to have read two amazing books back to back. It's like I've discovered this whole new world of books but I know it's too good to be true.This book isn't even a romance, there is some, but it's about discovering yourself, it's about family and it's about overcoming your fears.
The charm of this novel is its small town Texas setting and the colorful folks that live there. Main character Queenie is scrappy, vulnerable, flawed, and determined to better herself. After mouthing off to a customer, Queenie is fired from her latest job--cooking for a NY city hotel--and she ha...
