There are some books that you read a description of and automatically want to pick up the book. The Midnight Library by Matt Haig was one of those books for me. Synopsis The majority of this book takes place in a library. But not just any library — a library on the edge of the […]
Book Comparison: The Giver of Stars & The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek
I read Jojo Moyes’ The Giver of Stars because I had heard good things about it, and I was seeing it everywhere since it was a Reese’s Book Club pick. I really enjoyed it because it covered a fascinating part of history that I didn’t know anything about. After finishing that book, I started to […]
Book Review: Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby van Pelt
If I were to tell someone, “hey, you should read this book, it’s about an octopus” the chance of that person actually picking it up might not be very high. So although Remarkably Bright Creatures is about an octopus, I’m going to give you a little more context than that. Synopsis This book is told […]
Book Review: The Bodyguard by Katherine Center
I love a good Chick Lit. What makes a book a good Chick Lit for me is that it’s fun, light, and usually a quick, easy read. I don’t love cheesy, but it’s sometimes unavoidable in this genre. If you just expect there to be some cheesiness I promise you’ll enjoy it more 🙂 I […]
Book Review: The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella
I think this is the type of book you have to go into knowing that you can’t take it too seriously. It’s a funny, semi-unrealistic story that could easily be made into a movie. Sophie Kinsella books are always entertaining, and this one is no different. Synopsis Samantha Sweeting is a top lawyer at one […]
Book Review: Everything Sad Is Untrue by Daniel Nayeri
I would be lying if I said a beautiful book cover hasn’t convinced me to pick up a book and read it. The cover and title of this book were intriguing to me, and that’s why I initially looked into it. But when I found out what Everything Sad is Untrue was about, I was […]
Book Review: What the Wind Knows by Amy Harmon
I have a hard time giving a book 5 stars. I like a lot of books, but I just feel like 5 stars means I LOVED it and there’s nothing I would change about it. Maybe I’m an over-thinker? Actually, I already know that I am most definitely an over-thinker. That being said, What the […]
Book Review: The Things We Cannot Say by Kelly Rimmer
I recently finished The Things We Cannot Say by Kelly Rimmer. I’m surprised I’m writing this book review at all because I usually don’t read books about war or the Holocaust. I think it’s so important to know the history, but reading about these things for “fun” in my free time is not usually something […]
Book Review: A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson
Do I get anxious and lose sleep when I consume anything even slightly scary? Yes I do. Do I also love a good mystery and cruise through a murder book in two days? Also yes. A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder was one of those books that was impossible for me to put down. Synopsis […]
