Laura Rae Amos is a Michigan native now living near Washington DC with her charming husband and tornado of a little boy.

When not writing, she loves to read, take photos, climb mountains (okay, little ones!), go on road trips, play guitar, draw, and build elaborate neighborhoods for her Sims.

Laura writes kooky and emotional relationship dramas, character-rich stories that are sweet, sassy, sometimes sad, and a little bit crass. She has nineteen books in her head and needs to lear

the best books of 2012 that I didn't get to read yet

*** cross-posted from my blog... where I have the pictures working, lol! http://lauraraeamos.com/2012/12/22/th... ***

Everybody else makes their "best of year" books list, but because my backlog of books to be read is always so long, I never get to make one of those. I'm envious of those of you who read books as soon as they come out... or even in the same year! But I'm usually reading for novel re Read more of this blog post »

Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke
"I’m still a little torn on this one. It hooked me right away with a premise that felt fresh and a voice that was sharp, unsettling, and hard to ignore. Natalie is the kind of character you love to hate: deeply unkind, self-absorbed, and almost exhaus" Read more of this review »

"2.5 Stars

I'm of two minds with this book.

On one hand, I feel that what the premise promised, and what we actually got...was very misleading. I've loved plenty of books where the story ending up being vastly different than the blurb, but this experie" Read more of this review »

“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”
Søren Kierkegaard

“I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.”
Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
Marilyn Monroe

“Love at first sight is easy to understand; it's when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle.”

“Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.”
Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
