I was PUMPED when My Sister, The Serial Killer was an option for our book club selection. I had seen so many of my favorite book bloggers posting all about it. Since I’ve put myself on a bit of a book-buying ban, I was trying to stay away, but I can’t let my book club […]
Book Reviews
Inkdeath by Cornelia Funke
I finally finished the Inkworld trilogy! Inkdeath took me longer than I wanted it to. Sometimes, you just need a break in between super fantastical stories, and I didn’t really give myself that. I ended up separating my time between reading it and listening to it. I had a travel break in there, and didn’t […]
12 Page Turners You Won’t Want To Put Down
There’s nothing I love more than truly engrossing page turners. After years where my love of reading took a back seat, it was such a joy discovering books just like this. Instead of keeping them a secret, I’m going to share them with y’all. Fiction Qualification: I read most of these in just a few […]
Inkspell by Cornelia Funke
I remember doing a book report in the 8th grade on Inkheart by Cornelia Funke. It was such an interesting story where the characters were able to read book characters to life! I always wished I could do that. When I learned (a few months ago) that it’s actually a trilogy, I was overjoyed. The […]
Small Steps by Louis Sachar
I’m a big fan of young adult novels. There’s something about disappearing back into the types of books I read growing up. Plus, they’re quicker reads, which is super helpful when books like The Autobiography of Henry VIII are taking me forever to finish. Did you know that there was a follow up to Holes? Louis Sachar wrote Small […]
Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult
Holy hot mess, Jodi Picoult. We all know I’m a big fan of her writing. When Leaving Time was available from my library while I was traveling, I rented it, assuming it would be like the rest of her novels. I don’t understand how someone could have written both Small Great Things and Leaving Time. The Story The […]
The River Widow by Ann Howard Creel
One of my new favorite things is Amazon Prime’s First Reads program. If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you get one free ebook every month. These are new releases, or books that haven’t even been released yet! That’s how I came to own The River Widow by Ann Howard Creel. The Story The River Widow follows Adah Branch in […]
Defending Jacob by William Landay
Phew! I finally finished my third book of 2019. I’ve definitely fallen behind in my goal to finish 52 for the year (one per week), so I’ll find some time to catch up later. Defending Jacob by William Landay was my first real foray into the world of audiobooks! My cousin and a girlfriend both recommended […]
The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory
In all fairness, I started The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory before Christmas. It was one of the longer books I’ve read as of late, so it took me a bit to read! Tudor England and the Renaissance and all of that time are so intriguing to me. The Storyh The Other Boleyn Girl is historical fiction surrounding King Henry […]
Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes
Is it getting old when I say that I’ve had a book for months but haven’t read it? My parents got me Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes for Christmas 2017. It felt odd not starting 2018 reading it, so I had to postpone until 2019. That’s logic, right? I didn’t read much about the book before […]
