Remember when Sarah Jio (Glamour Health and Fitness blogger and novelist) was so kind to give me an advanced copy of her first book, The Violets of March?
And when I read it I told everyone that she was going to be a famous novelist?
Well, I hate to say I told you so but I'll say it anyway because she's now crazy famous.
And so when she sent me an advanced copy of her second novel, The Bungalow, I opened my mailbox and felt pretty darned special.
To receive mail from a famous novelist is just about the best thing ever.
Sarah Jio is masterful at getting you hooked from the very beginning.
That is, until the last few chapters.
That's when I couldn't help but rush through them.
You see, how the story unfolded had me so on edge I actually skimmed to the end because I fell so in love with the main characters and was too impatient to find out what happened.
Bad, I know.
But I really really wanted to find out what happened and I was biting at the bit in anticipation.
Her stories are that captivating.
Thanks, Sarah, for writing yet another beautifully woven tale.
I'll carry this story with me forever.
The Bungalow comes out TODAY!

Just in time... I finished the book I was reading last night and am heading to the bookstore later for a new read. I am always looking for suggestions so I'll pick it up and let you know what I thought. Hope your Christmas was wonderful. xo
So now I have two new books to add to my must-read pile...The Violets of March and The Bungalow. They sound incredible!
P.S. Impatience always gets the best of me when reading, as well! :)

This sounds like such an awesome read! Thank you Tiffany for this post. I will be adding this book to my 2012 reading list.
Oh, she has to write a sequel! There is only one consolation when you finish a great book... the knowledge that there is more.
This is definitely on my list for the new year.. She is so wonderful and so happy for her well deserved success.
Thank you for your sweet comment on my abstract painting, it was one of those creations were I just let it be and didn't think while creating, a definite dance with my brush and fingers.
It is so cool that the author reached out to you personally. I am very curious about this book now.
