Welcome to Caitlin Page Reads!! I can’t believe that what turned out as a fun whim two years ago now has it’s own home on the internet!! I am truly blown away by how many people became so invested in the books that I was reading. I get multiple messages a week from people telling […]

If you’ve ever read one of my quarterly roundups, you can probably guess who my favorite author of 2019 was. I read 4 of his books last year and LOVED every. single. one. His writing is fresh, captivating, and his character development is perfect. Fredrik Backman started off as a columnist in Sweden and has […]

Guys, I DID IT!! I can’t believe that I passed my 100 book goal, ending the year at 107. Honestly, I figured that I’d make it but WOW I’m still shocked! I read some incredible books this year and found a few new favorites. I can’t wait for next year!! 82. East of the Sun: Julia […]

Somehow – and weirdly so – this is one of my favorite genres. It’s so specific and I’m going to blame my cousin because she’s the one who gave me the majority of these recommendations!! Once I got into them, Amazon started to recommend more of the same genre and I could. Not. Stop. There […]

DAISY JONES & THE SIX: Taylor Jenkins Reid THE GREAT ALONE: Kristin Hannah THE […]

I hate to say this, but I call romantic fiction “brain candy” . I actually do love a quick & cute romance but they’re usually read in between books that take a bit more to…digest. I read so little of them that I actually choose them at the library based on what the book jacket […]

My love of thrillers and mysteries started with the Nancy Drew series and have lasted me well into adulthood. I particularly love anything that’s got a surprise twist in the last few pages! Bonus points are given if there are points in the book that literally give me goosebumps. I read FAR too many last […]

Somehow the 3rd quarter of the year because the fastest one yet – how did the summer blow by so quickly!? Our library reopened and I stocked up on all the books I’d been waiting for, & along the way found some of my favorites for the year!! It’s so interesting to me to watch […]

Well here we are – somehow we’ve already reached the 2nd quarter of 2020 (HOW) & I’m here with a huge roundup!! Most of my work has been pushed to 2021 so in between home renovations, I’ve had a LOT of time to read! I know that I mentioned in my last post that I […]
