We Are the Quarry, Fate is the Hunter is written by ex-sailor couple Prasad and Shubhada Godbole in one of the most heartwarming, funny, witty, lovely way possible.

Family Lore by Elizabeth Acevedo | Book Review
Before I explain to you how disappointing one of my most anticipated books of 2023 was, I need to put it out there that Elizabeth Acevedo is one of my favorite authors of all time. When she announced Family Lore, her first novel for adult readers, I lost my mind with excitement and anticipation.

Roman Stories by Jhumpa Lahiri | Book Review
Roman Stories is Jhumpa Lahiri’s latest work, a return to her roots, if you will, because this is a collection of short stories like her Pulitzer Prize winning Interpreter of Maladies.

But before I get into what I think of her new book, I have to take a step or two back to tell you how I fell in love with her words.
