If anyone knows Leslie they know she can read. Yes, she is an adult with a college education that knows “how-to-read”, but I mean the girl can READ! She is the fastest reader I have ever met and can remember every character name and what they went through. {We read Nora Roberts a lot and if you know how hard it is to distinguish between some of the characters you would understand how remarkable Leslie’s talent is}.
Leslie also buys almost every book she reads {well, her favorites at least.. which are a lot}. This is the best part because I get to scroll through the Leslie Library!!!! Before she left for her month of cottage dwelling life in Wisconsin she brought me over a stack of books. Some Nora Roberts, but she brought over Jennifer Weiner books. I had never read her books before this month. Holy reading addiction Batman!!!! I have become a Leslie reader! I work two jobs, take care of the household, hosted my father in law for a couple of days, and somehow I have managed to read several of her books in a 3 week time period.
If you want to read about a real person, who deals with real issues, and want a good cry every now and then {I mean come on, who doesn’t}, read her books! Jennifer Weiner is my novel writing hero.
These are the books I have read in 3 weeks! {Yes I know, In Her Shoes was made into a movie, but forget the movie… the book is WAY better!}




Best thing… her latest book comes out July 3! Another good read soon to come.. once Leslie is done reading it..

If you know of any other Must-Read authors for happy, light summer reading please leave a comment!!!
Happy Reading!










If she can remember all the different characters, she definitely does have some serious reading skills! Go her! I have read some of the Jennifer Weiner books and will now read more! Are you guys on goodreads.com? I may have to stalk!
