It took me FOREVER to read The Snow Gypsy by Lindsay Jayne Ashford. It was another of those free Prime Read books. I only had it on my Kindle, but I’d pick it up here or there whenever I had a chance. The Story We follow Rose Daniel on her journey to learn what happened […]
Book Reviews
The Wicked Deep by Shea Ernshaw
The Wicked Deep by Shea Ernshaw is the next pick in our book club. We usually pick a book about 60 days before we discuss it, so I think this is July’s pick? It was immediately available at my library for my Kindle. Sometimes, that’s a bit concerning as to the quality of the book, […]
Dark Matter by Blake Crouch
The world of Bookstagram is a wonderful place. For whatever reason, I just find peace scrolling through these images of people and their books, sharing their passion for reading. While the pressure is less than with general social media, I do still have a ton of envy for people’s book stacks. One of my favorite […]
We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
I am so behind in my reading and my reviewing. After Oil and Marble, I knew it was going to be difficult for me to find a book that would match what I had just finished. Thus, I bounced around a good bit. I’m not really feeling the books I currently own, so I turned […]
Oil and Marble by Stephanie Storey
I’ve missed out on a few of the last Book Club picks at work. I didn’t love the summary and I wasn’t trying to spend money, so I sat out. However, Oil and Marble popped up as a selection, and I campaigned for it like my life depended on it. The Story Oil and Marble […]
The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton
If you’re a “bookstagrammer” like I am, you probably saw Kate Morton’s The Clockmaker’s Daughter all over Instagram a few months ago. I heard good things, so I’ll probably pick it up some time in the future, when it doesn’t have the “brand new book” price tag. I was super pleased when I found The […]
Gretel And The Dark by Eliza Granville
I got Gretel and the Dark by Eliza Granville at a library book sale. It seemed super interesting! I mean, read this from the excerpt on the back: Vienna, 1899. Josef Breuer, a celebrated psychoanalyst, is about to encounter his strangest case yet: a mysterious, beautiful woman who claims to have no name, no feelings […]
In A Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware
I’ve officially added Ruth Ware to my list of favorite authors. I really liked The Woman In Cabin 10, but In A Dark, Dark Wood was so much better! Honestly, I didn’t want to put it down. It was nice to read a book that quickly again. The Story In A Dark, Dark Wood centers […]
You Are A Badass Every Day by Jen Sincero
I love Jen Sincero. She went on a book tour for You Are A Badass Every Day earlier this year, but Barnes & Noble left out the fact that it was a wristband only event. Since I work, I didn’t have the chance to go get one. I’ve been cutting back on my spending, but […]
The Perfect Child by Lucinda Berry
Have I mentioned before how much I love Amazon Prime’s First Reads program? You get a free eBook every month (from a selection of about six), just for being a Prime member. That’s how I stumbled across The Perfect Child by Lucinda Berry. I could not put it down! The Story The Perfect Child follows […]
