August 23, 2017

Why It’s Absolutely Okay To Be A Quitter

May 10, 2017

Quitting gets a bad rap. Almost three years ago, I retired from roller derby after a serious injury. I struggled with the fact that I had to quit. We’re conditioned to think quitting means we’re a loser, weak, or scared, that it’s always a negative. […]

Dark Matter
liked it
Dark Matter
by Blake Crouch
What if you were able to go back in life and take the path not taken? It's a fascinating concept. It took a little while to get into, and I got bogged down by the heavy science in the middle but otherwise this is a pretty good book. It's...
The Silent Wife
liked it
The Silent Wife
by A. S. A. Harrison
This is a thriller that unravels gradually. The twists aren't sharp but they are there. Every single character is unlikable, their behavior deplorable, but I couldn't help rooting for them at times. I went back and forth between the audi...
A Separation

A Separation
by Katie Kitamura
Three and a half stars. This book wasn't what I expected from reading the dust jacket, it's not an intense thriller. There is a mystery gradually unfolding, which we learn about from the first person narration of a wife who reluctantly a...

Between Breaths: A Memoir of Panic and Addiction
by Elizabeth Vargas
Three and a half stars. I was not familiar with Elizabeth Vargas prior to reading this, but I admire her greatly now. This is a brutally honesty memoir, written with grace and good intentions. The writing is a bit superficial at times, I...
