Faithful Place by Tana French is a gripping story of a Dublin police detective and the love of his life who went missing 22 years earlier. Filled with family tensions, love lost and all the turbulent emotions of growing up in a broken family, this book is both a fascinating mystery and an intense exploration of human existence.  Read more >

Rules Of Civility Needs A Lesson In Emotion

Rules of Civility by Amor Towles, is an intriguing story full of exquisitely crafted phrases and captivating description. However, what it more than makes up for in language, it lacks in emotion. Populated with more than its fair share of fascinating characters, this book never delves far enough beyond the facade of propriety; rather, the reader is stuck with only a surface view of events. We may be privy to the narration of the main character (a delightfully smart and self assured young woman making her way in 1938 New York), but we are spared the messiness of her true emotions, and as a result the books fails to grip you as well as it should.  Read more >

It is hard to put my finger on What Happened to GoodbyeSarah Dessen. The story of a girl whose parents have gone through a terrible divorce, and who now travels around with her father, it could have easily fallen into melodrama and typical teenage angst. But instead, the protagonist is so relatable that you can't help but identify with her regardless of your age.  Read more >

About Me: 
My name is Kate Johnson. I am a mom of three children: Isabelle, Jackson and Sophie. Izzy and Sophie were born 34 months apart, meaning I had three kids in three years. In other words, I spent the better part of four straight years pregnant. Fun! My husband travels four days a week leaving me alone and vastly outnumbered, but I don't have a job other than the typical slave labor expected of all mothers. For this back breaking work I am paid a lowly wage king's ransom of hugs and kisses. I am a devoted movie goer and reader, wannabe novelist and fashionista. I love sarcasm, television and my children. Not necessarily in that order.
