I listened to The Warehouse as a libro.fm audiobook. A note on the narrator: She. Is. Flawless. Now about the actual book: It made me very angry. I promise, that’s a compliment. In the near future, a corporation, Cloud, has basically taken over the United States, claiming the market decided. We follow two characters. The …

Review: Nancy’s Genius Plan by Olivia Jaimes
It’s possible that not all parents will appreciate Nancy’s Genius Plan. It probably depends largely on your child. Nancy’s plan is to sneak past everyone and eat her aunt’s cornbread.

My misgivings are based on the fact that these books used to be called “chick lit” and were mocked. I kind of hate any category …
Review: How to Be a Family by Dan Kois
I am usually not much of a nonfiction reader, but how can a mom of three not read a book called How to Be a Family? Especially when the subtitle indicates world travel. I wasn’t sure I’d love this one. I’ve read my fair share of parenting books with all their “shoulds” and been unimpressed, …
Review: The Lightest Object in the Universe by Kimi Eisele
Book Review #1. Here goes… Back before little brother was born, I picked this ARC up at the ABA’S Winter Institute, with every intention of reading it on my maternity leave. What did I actually do on maternity leave? Stare at my newborn baby in wonder. A lot. Return to the hospital with a staph …
