When a Book Reads like a Conversation with a Friend

Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (and Other Concerns was Mindy Kaling's debut book. She writes pretty much what she thinks and how she feels and it is fabulous.

In her quirky take on life, Mindy reveals that the path to Hollywood was not smooth. She is not a size two, and "hooking up" needs to have a unified term. In short Mindy writes like she is having a conversation with you on her couch. You can laugh at loud, turn the page quickly when you remember a guilty pleasure, and just enjoy the book. I encourage you all to pick up this quick read!

Letting go of the Past to Make Room for the Future

To me Nicholas Sparks is a hit or miss author. His books are either over the top and so sappy that you are question why you read them or they find the perfect blend of love, mystery, and plot.

A Bend in The Road which was one of Sparks earlier books can be considered a hit in Sparks world (yet not my favorite Sparks book). Miles loses his wife Missy in a tragic accident. After searching for two years in search of the cause, he loses himself in the trama until he befriends his sons second grade teacher,Sarah.

This book was a little harder to read than expected as my life took its own personal bend in the road. But the message is universal: You have to learn to accept the past and let go of the past in order to move on. This book has great twist and turns. It is pretty easy to guess what will happen. Overall, if you want a light easy read. This is a great book.
