The New Neighbor by Karen Cleveland (ARC Review)
With a thrilling plot and a compelling cast of characters, The New Neighbor earns an easy five stars from me. What is it that I love so much about it? Um, everything, I think, but let’s get a little more specific. The writing is wonderful, not fanciful. The language isn’t showy and over the top. It is […]

Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie
With a large cast of fascinating characters and an equally intriguing plot to match, Death on the Nile is the perfect mystery. I am a longtime fan of Agatha Christie, particularly her Hercule Poirot series, and she truly outdid herself with this one. It is a rare moment as of late that I enjoy all the female […]

Dark Objects by Simon Toyne (ARC Review)
Thank you, NetGalley, for providing an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I’m about to do something I really don’t like to do: give a book one star. Unfortunately, I felt really backed into a corner on this one, and I just ended up having a pretty poor reading experience. As […]

Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
Now that I’m thinking about it, I’m pretty sure the first time I read this book, I didn’t read the entire thing. It’s an odd thought, because now, I would absolutely never DNF this, but I guess that just speaks to how tastes change over the years. As of today, Angels and Demons is easily one of […]

One of the Girls by Lucy Clarke (ARC Review)
Thank you, NetGalley, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review! In the interest of complete honesty, this was not a book I enjoyed. Just for context, I say this as a 22-year-old woman whose favorite genre is thrillers with female main characters, which is precisely what One of the Girls is. My […]

Braving the Wilderness by Brené Brown
I contemplated back and forth for the past few days if I want to write a review for this for the simple reason that it is a controversial book, and this blog is for fun, not for debates and tension. But in the spirit of Brené Brown and the book itself, I am choosing to […]

Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo
Let me start by saying this is easily one of my favorite books I’ve ever read, and I’m beginning to think I may like the Shadow and Bone trilogy even more than the Six of Crows duology, which is really saying something. I think I could probably go on for a week or so telling […]

Monsters of Men by Patrick Ness
Well, Patrick Ness has done it again. I can’t even begin to describe my feelings for this book without first saying that I am utterly in love. The characters. The story. The structure. The writing. The different POVs. It’s all one big chef’s kiss, and an utterly perfect end to a perfect trilogy. Let’s start […]

I Wrote Another Book!
As any of you who have followed my blog for a bit know, it is only on a very rare occasion that I make a post exclusively about my own writing. My main goal with this blog is to write my thoughts on others’ books and find readers who share my interests (or who have […]

1984 by George Orwell
I am utterly horrified and in love with this book. What an incredibly creative and unique work of fiction with some crazy parallels to modern life. Let me begin by saying I’m not the biggest George Orwell fan in the world. One of my high school literature classes assigned Animal Farm, and it was, admittedly, […]
