  • The Violence By: Delilah Dawson

    Following three abused women in unprecedented times as they attempt to escape their abusers and survive. Let’s start off with, I was not expecting that. I again, didn’t read anything about this book in advance before picking it up and was pleasantly surprised. The author’s note in the beginning felt odd. I can see it…

  • Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle By: Emily Nagoski

    A self help book for WOMEN. Honestly that’s all I got. I can’t even pretend to write a synopsis for this book without being a total snot. I didn’t find this book unhelpful, but I found it offensive. When it comes to self-help style books the reader needs to hear the truth. There will be…

    Strange Folk By: Alli Dyer

    Let’s get the elephant out of the room immediately. Yes, this is most likely rated higher than it should be. OKAY! I said it. Happy now? May we please get to the review?

  • Gone Tonight By: Sarah Pekkanen

    A layered story of a daughter trying to figure out her mother’s past and where she came from. From the beginning I was hooked. This story started out with a bang. I could see the author putting together a complicated web. I think I audibly gasped when twists were revealed. About 3/4 the way through…

  • Off the Air By: Christina Estes

    A reporter tries to catch the scoop without crossing lines and while reporting fairly. Can she come out on top and solve the mystery? To put it simply, this book wasn’t for me. I couldn’t connect with the characters. I don’t have much empathy for reporters. Especially as the author preached about being neutral, no…

  • The Screwtape Letters By: C.S. Lewis 

    As I work my way through C.S. Lewis work I find myself once again realizing the magic of him and his writing. The Screwtape Letters is a delicious satire on religion as the reader enjoys short, but concise correspondents between the devil and a tempter. Lewis has created something that is sometimes funny, sometimes thought…
