#ThrowbackThursday After I Do (Taylor Jenkins Reid)

Throwback Thursday is a weekly meme created by book blogger extraordinaire, Renee at It’s Book Talk. She started this weekly feature as a way to highlight old favourites and read books that have already been published.

I have mentioned before that I belong to a book club that contains a group of teachers I have known since teacher’s college. We meet once a month, we discuss the book and we eat snacks.   What more is there to want, ya know? This past month, after some careful deliberation, we decided to turn our attention to After I Do, by Taylor Jenkins Reid, since three of our book club members (including myself) are getting married this fall. What better way to prepare for marriage than to read a book about a marriage falling apart? We had some mixed feelings during our book club discussion and it became quite clear that this was either a “love it or hate it book”. Personally, I loved the book.

BOMG Review: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (Taylor Jenkins Reid) @tjenkinsreid @AtriaBooks

I had read my first Taylor Jenkins Reid novel earlier this year (you can check out my review for that one here) and immediately fell in love with her narrative style.   So, imagine my delight when I stumbled across The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Reid’s latest release, as I was scrolling through Netgalley. Now that I have finished this novel, I must say, I was completely blown away by Reid’s writing ability in this novel. Beautiful, bittersweet and deliciously decadent in her prose, I could not put this one down.

Book Outside My Genre- Book Review: One True Loves (Taylor Jenkins Reid) @tjenkinsreid

After an EXTREME book slump, I decided to pick up this novel as a cosmic palette cleanser. I needed to get back in my groove.

You know guys, sometimes it’s easier for me to just settle in my doom and gloom where everyone dies and I’m expecting it.

Books like this? My heart can’t take!
