The snow just keeps falling. And falling. While we might enjoy taking ski turns by day, we love to turn the pages of a new book by night. Here are four of our picks for the month of February.
Truth & Beauty, A Friendship, by Ann Patchett // A modern-day telling of an authentic friendship, this memoir is an honest account of life and love. Patchett’s writing always captivates us and this New York Times bestseller is no exception. Plus, Patchett is co-owner of a local bookstore in Nashville - the epitome of loving and living local.
The Art of Hearing Heartbeats, by Jan-Phillip Sendker // A sweeping romance that takes you from New York to Burma, and the 1950′s to present day, this is one of Erin’s absolute favorite books. Don’t be fooled by the term romance here, there is also mystery, cynicism, family relationships, and a touch of mysticism. If you’ve read this one, then move on to book two in the series for more magic.
An American Marriage, by Tayari Jones // When a husband is arrested for a crime his wife knows he did not commit, their love become unmoored and their past starts to surface. A relationship between two soon becomes a complicated web of three, with many forces at play that are beyond their control. Award-winning and at the top of many acclaimed book lists, this is one title you should reach for this month.
The Queen of Hearts, by Kimmery Martin // We love entrepreneurial spirit, which led us to first time author Martin of Charlotte. This witty and smart novel is a fun peek into life as a physician, with all the complicated human drama that comes along with life as a mom. Told from two points of view, the pulse of this book beats right along, making it an easy pick.
Stop by your favorite local bookstore to pick up one of these titles. And tell us what you are reading this month!
