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...
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 ...
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 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.

Nowhere But Home is a wonderful book. It's a well written and very heartwarming story. Queenie Wake has been running for ten years. Running from a town who sees her as no better than her mother, the love of her life, and really from herself. Now she is coming back home to figure things out. Wha...
Im really starting to fall in love with this author. She's Sarah Dessen esque in the fact that she has a formula that works and her stories pack in a lot of heart and character. I started off with More like her, which was good but my heart really fell in March when i read her novel Seeing me Naked w...
