Reading Pretty: Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

Gone Girl

I discovered this book from one of my favorite podcasts – Books on the Nightstand. Every time I listen to it my Goodreads list gets longer and longer.

I remember when I first read it Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. I couldn't get enough. My life was in transition This book has two sides: people who love it (like me) and those who vehemently hate it. I can bring up this book to 10 women and it's always the same response (half love it/half hate it).  [...]

The Elegance of Mr. Cowie

I love Colin Cowie.  Year’s ago when I was working full-time and going to college I picked up his book Effortless Elegance.  I kept telling myself that this is how I wanted to live once I finished school.  It’s always one of those reference books I go back to.  I still have the episode on [...]

Reading Pretty: Eat, Drink & Be Gorgeous

This is the book that I will be using to get me through the holidays.  I will finally be home right before Thanksgiving and to prepare for a few holiday gatherings, I’m relying on Esther Blum’s Eat, Drink, and Be Gorgeous motto.  Why?  Because she does not berate you for wanting that extra drink, but [...]

Reading Pretty: New England White by Stephen L. Carter
