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…

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? Strange Folk is a cozy thriller(?), mystery(?) following Lee going back home, Lee’s daughter Meredith realizing she has a home and all…

A “serious” story about the very secret society of witches and one witch who needs to decide to follow the rules or follow her heart. To get this out there right in the beginning of this review, this book didn’t do it for me. It didn’t give me the feels and I never connected with…

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…

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…

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…

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…
