The Girl on the Train<\/a>, by Paula Hawkins<\/em><\/p>\n

Surprise, surprise! When I’m not reading pop science, I’m reading psychological thrillers. This one I kept hearing about through other blogs and recommendations from afar, so I picked it up over the weekend and now I can’t put it down. It’s very similar to Gone Girl<\/em>\u00a0in the narration from 3 different characters and 3 very different points of view that seem unreliable and thus, intriguing. It’s a tense thriller with many twists and turns and plenty of dysfunction. I’m thoroughly enjoying it.<\/p>\n

Home<\/a>, by Carson Ellis<\/em><\/p>\n

And while I was perusing the bookstore, this book caught my eye in the children’s section and I ended up taking it home for the boys. Ellis is an exceptional illustrator who did all the art for the Wildwood<\/em><\/a> series (which I intend to pick up next for out-loud bedtime reading for our older two) \u2014 I started to read it and it was a captivating adventure! But back to Home<\/em>. It’s a simple but beautiful look into what a home can be: mythical, nursery rhyme, under the sea or in a stump.

“This is the home of a Slovakian duchess. \/ This is the home of a Kenyan blacksmith.”<\/em><\/p>\n

An imaginative, lovely book that somehow reminds me of a Wes Anderson movie in its visual appeal and imaginative direction. This one inspires the creative mind and opens up the realm of possibilities when it comes to the question, “What makes a home?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
