COFFEE

You all know that I LOVE this time of year and my pumpkin spice latte. This year I have been mixing it up and ordering a pumpkin spice dirty chai and it is sooooo good too! This is definitely my hot drink of choice for this month.

BOOKS

The Light We Lost
by: Jill Santopolo
4 out of 5 stars

I had heard so much about this book and it did not disappoint. The story involves star-crossed lovers who cannot seem to stay in or out of each other's lives. This is an easy read, but definitely not light-hearted. Well-written and tragic, this was a good love story.

Class Mom
by: Laurie Gelman
4 out of 5 stars

Oh my, this book cracked me up! The main character has two older children and then a young one just entering school...sound like anyone you know? I could totally relate to how her approach to being class mom had changed by her third kid...her being a former groupie, not so much. :) This book includes the emails the main character sends to the other parents in the class and that is hands down the best part of the book.  Hilarious! The author is the wife of Gelman, the producer of Regis and Kathie Lee...am I dating myself?! Such a fun book.

Every Last Lie

by: Mary Kubica
3 out of 5 stars

I love a good suspense novel and this was my first one by this author. The story is excellent and the characters are well developed. I was hooked completely throughout this book...until the end.  I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but if you have read this, were you a little lost/disappointed at the end? Maybe it was just me, but it was one of those books that built and then stopped. I'd love to hear your thoughts or if you have read anything else by this author. I truly loved it until the end!

Of Mess and Moxie: Wrangling Delight Out of This Wild and Glorious Life
by: Jen Hatmaker
4 out of 5 stars

Jen Hatmaker is simply one of the most encouraging, relatable authors in the Christian/encouragement genre. Her books literally make me laugh out loud one minute and tear up the next. Think about the best conversation you've ever had with a girlfriend and that is what reading Jen Hatmaker is like. Please order this book for yourself and a friend. It will be a treasure to anyone who receives it.
