2016 Reading List

Rather than doing a reading list this year (seeing as I didn't do so well in 2015), I thought I would update you each month about the books I've read and those next on my list.  You can continue to follow along on the tab up top.

Disclaimer: I just started grad school so I may not get as much reading done as I hope.

So, here's what I have read this month!


Left Neglected by Lisa Genova

Last year, I read Still Alice and watched the movie and was so amazed by how Lisa Genova seemed to be able to tap into the brain of a woman with Alzheimer's despite never battling the disease herself.  Well, she did the same in Left Neglected with the main character and her battle with left neglect following a car accident.  I loved both these books so much, I bought Love Anthony and Inside the O'Briens.


 Three Wishes by Liane Moriarty

It had been a while since I read my last Liane Moriarty novel, The Husband's Secret,  and I was excited to delve into this one.  Three Wishes did not disappoint.  It tells the story of a set of triplets in their early thirties dealing with all kinds of curve balls life has thrown them.  It made me laugh and it made me sad right along with the characters.


These is My Words by Nancy E. Turner

This was hands down the best book I have read in quite some time.  It is written in as a diary of Sarah Agnes Prine, as she transitions from a young girl to a woman in the late 1800s in the Arizona territories.  I could not put this book down!  It reminded me of Jeannette Walls' Half Broke Horses in a way and reads like a love story.  You'll be cheering on Sarah's character the entire way.

Next up on my list is a Mary Higgins Clark book that I ordered, All Dressed in White, one of my Lisa Genova books, and whatever else I can get my hands on.  Stay tuned!
