Babel is a wanna-be intellectual’s dream and an actual intellectual’s nightmare. I fall into the former, so I loved it. Set in England’s victorian days the reader follows Robin Swift, a translator student in Oxford, as he grapples with the realities of the world. This story has layers. The author flexes her knowledge, education and…

A great intro to the OG mystery writer. 4.5 stars for a great book. I am starting at the beginning of the Hercule Poirot series and read them all. I have read some of the more famous Agatha’s books, but I’m excited to start reading them all. The writing was excellent. At the end I…

Such a fun story you’ll be googling “Daisy Jones & The Six” multiple times while reading. I must admit I knowingly purchased this book knowing it was fiction. After the first few pages I googled the band. Okay – it’s fiction. I confirmed this. Handful more pages I thought, maybe I missed something. Maybe I…

#2 in the series and I’m already hooked. This the second book in the Hercule Poirot series. The first book Christie tricked me on the reveal but this time I figured it out before she could tell me. She tried to lead me astray (and she probably was successful if I’m being honest) but in…

A feel good book that you can read on rainy days. I’m not sure what it was about Ailsa Rae that pulled me in so much. Maybe the fact that she was just a normal, flawed person just trying to make it through being super sick and finally getting a heart transplant? (Don’t worry, she…

Does M.T. Edvardsson have multiple personalities? I really enjoyed this book! PROS: My favorite part of this book was the multiple view points. The book is broken into 3 parts. From the dad’s point of view, the daughter’s and then the mother. It literally felt like each character was writing their section of the book. …

You don’t have to like fashion to enjoy this book! This book was so wonderful. I loved the characters, I love how it’s based on truth and I even more love that Jeanne Mackin was able to take people maybe only known for their fashion contributions and make them so much more than that. As…

An amazing story that earned every star from every review. I was impressed with the high rating on this book. We are critical reader over here and I have begun to really trust my fellow reviewers. So I was surprised this book was holding such a high rating still. EVERY STAR IS DESERVED. This was…

I must add – sometimes I’m unfair to Rollins as I enjoy his books so much I sometimes categorize them as ‘fun’ and not ‘work’ that I have to post a review for. OBVIOUSLY he’s the best ever… why do you need a review? Please excuse my tardiness of this review. Please excuse my lack…

Surprisingly AMAZING! I was surprised how much I enjoyed this book! In the beginning my brain was telling itself it was bored, yet I couldn’t put it down. I didn’t know much about Borgia, I confess, (haha, see what I did there?) and 3/4 the way through I looked them up and ruined part of…
