Books, Books to Film, Turner Classic Movies, and Outlander are topics (aside from my kids, husband, & two cats) that elicit instant joy for me. Here at 'Home With Two' you'll find those topics in plenty -- amongst so much more! Thank you for being here!

Hi I’m Julie

I love to read, write, and take too many pictures. Blogging has always combined all three loves into a fun and beautiful hobby. You can always find me with an iced coffee in one hand and a book (or two) in the other. Thanks for stopping by!

As a serial highlighter and tabber, this book would have been ABSOLUTELY COVERED in little tabs if it was a physical copy. My Kindle highlights will have to suffice until pub day (June 2027) because I have so many thoughts. 

the ghosts, the art, the wasps, the homewrecking…

This book was strange, sad, funny, beautifully unsettling, and somehow incredibly comforting all at once… and I loved it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My full review ⚠️with spoilers ⚠️ is up on the blog! 

Thank you @netgalley @spiegelandgrau @beckymandelbaum for this amazing ARC!
