Alaskan Holiday by Debbie Macomber
Alaskan Holiday is a really good example of what I don’t like in a book. Sappy romance, a pretend strong female character, bad grammar, terrible plot, and over all not put together well. Upside: there is a dog.
Brief Answers to the Big Questions by Stephen Hawking

The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker

Miss D & Me
This is one of those nostalgia filled, feel-good memoirs. If you’re a fan of old Hollywood, it’s a must read. Kathryn Sermak has a beautiful insight into the later years of the icon, Bette Davis.
