I had heard mixed reviews about this book… but it’s Elizabeth Gilbert (most well known as the author of Eat Pray Love) and I enjoy her writing, so I wanted to try this one. If I had to tell you in one word what this book was about I would say: CREATIVITY. Accessing your creativity, […]
Book Review: The Self-Driven Child by William Stixrud and Ned Johnson
I like reading parenting books occasionally. there’s no way I can remember, retain, apply every single thing I read, but I try to take a few insights or practical applications from each one. I had heard good things about this one, and I ended up loving it. This was the most notes I’ve ever taken […]
Book Review: The Good Sister by Sally Hepworth
Another thriller… who am I?? I actually really loved this one though. Totally worth it. Luckily the waitlist wasn’t too long, so I got it pretty quick and read it pretty quickly too. It’s one of those you won’t want to put down once you get close to the end. Keep reading for my review […]

Book Review: Masterpiece by Fiona Davis

Book Review: It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover
This book is everywhere, but I put off reading it for a long time. I think Colleen Hoover is really good at writing stories that are not predictable, which makes them really fun and exciting and (obviously) popular. Her stories are also pretty heavy content-wise, so I told myself I wasn’t going to read this […]
Book Review: Happier Hour by Cassie Holmes

Book Review: The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave
I am always hesitant to read thrillers because I am a ~wimp~ so even though I had heard about this one from Reese’s Book Club and it sounded intriguing, I decided I should probably not do that to myself. But the audiobook was on Scribd and I made an impulsive decision to listen to it. […]
Book Review: The Measure by Nikki Erlick
The description of this book was so intriguing to me! It’s different than anything I’ve read so far this year. It also went in a different direction than I thought it would. Keep reading for my review of The Measure by Nikki Erlick! Synopsis The whole world wakes up one day to a small box […]
