I've always loved to read, and people are constantly asking me for book recommendations, so I started writing my recommendations with short reviews on the blog. Now, as I start back into it all as a full-time nursing student at a different (much busier) time in my life, it seemed obvious that this would be my new effortless focus.
The name "Taylor Your Life" is a sort of play on words that I came up with when I first created this blog back in 2014. It has been figuratively collecting dust and forgotten by nearly everyone who knew about it, but keeping the same name will hopefully put it back on the radar to those that once followed along.
Each post has a similar layout, shown below. I've used this example to explain what each portion means and where to look for certain information. I hope this makes navigating each review easier, but if you have any questions, please feel free to comment, email, tweet, etc. using the contact buttons on the right side of the blog ------>

Here is the synopsis of Gone Girl as an example:
On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne’s fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick’s clever and beautiful wife disappears. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn’t doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife’s head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media—as well as Amy’s fiercely doting parents—the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he’s definitely bitter—but is he really a killer?
Here, you can read my review of the book!
I've added all the books I've read during my hiatus, but during that time, I did not keep up with written reviews as I would have liked, so some posts will not feature anything here, instead only showing the synopsis above and the star rating below.
If you want to know my individual thoughts on a particular book that does not have a written review, feel free to contact me directly!
Rating: 
At the bottom of each post, you can find the star rating that I have given the book based on my own 5-Star scale. Click the image to see more books that have received that same rating.
