So, first thing's first you guys. I have to apologize; this book club discussion page is way overdue. Summer just kinda got away from me, but we are back at it. Pinky swear. If I didn't totally lose you, the House of Hipsters Book Club was last reading Wild by Cheryl Strayed. A powerful and honest memoir about a young woman on her solo[...]

OK you guys! I've picked a new book for our book club. I hope you all have read #GIRLBOSS, but if you haven't no big deal. Like I said before, this is a no pressure, no obligation read as fast or slow as you wish kinda club. I chose Yes Please by Amy Poehler because it was recommended to me by a fellow House Of Hipsters reader whom I've[...]
Happy Thanksgiving Eve Day you guys! Are you all ready to eat like crazy tomorrow or are you still in the hustle and bustle of it all? I'm a little bit of both. In a few of my previous posts, I've hinted at starting a book club. Now, I'm the world's slowest reader which is why in the past I've never joined a book club. I felt pressured to[...]
Looking for the best books to read in 2022? A good beach read. Something for the flight home. Or maybe you just tested positive for Covid like me and are quarantined to your room (literally everyone I know has it right now). Since I'm bored outta my mind, I figured I'd share my favorite must-read books with you. Before we get into it, if[...]
Well, this post might be the most first-world problems post I've ever written, but if you've read my PPP Loans post or the post about my love-hate relationship with Pinterest, then you know when something really irks me, I don't hold back. Today I'm going to share a not-so-great experience I had while applying to the Biltmore Country Club[...]
Srsly, where has summer gone? It went from sunshine warmth on my shoulders to a nip in the air in a hot second. While the leaves are falling outside my office window, I'm in the midst of some ahhhhhmazing house projects. Stay tuned for a kitchen update (this week) and while the entire main floor is ripped up, why don't we tear apart the u[...]
Self care — it's one of the last things on my mind. In fact, I'm struggling to even think of what my needs might be. The hustle of unemployment, being a mom and wife, the holidays, and all the noise from the media...well, let's just say life has taken my quiet time to an all-time low. This last week, I've especially felt like I w[...]
House Of Hipsters' book club has been reading All The Light We Cannot See this month. I really hope no one hates me after reading this post. I can't say I loved this book, but I didn't hate it either. It was for sure not one of my favorites. In fact, if it wasn't for the book club, I would have put it back on the shelf; however, I felt ob[...]
So we're almost halfway through March and quite a few of you...including myself...have finished The Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins. All the reviews I read had compared it to Gone Girl, so I was thrilled to be reading this month's book picked by Ashley from Bigger Than The Three Of Us and Thalita from The Learner Observer and my co-wo[...]
