  • THE HOBBIT, OR THERE AND BACK AGAIN BY: J.R.R. TOLKIEN

    What can you even say about a classic like this? This is my third time around reading this… Surprised I didn’t previously leave a review. I ran out of books to read, so had to browse my shelf to look for a good reread to pass the time. DANG – it did not disappoint. We…

  • THE ALICE NETWORK BY: KATE QUINN

    DANG – What a good one …This was a hands down excellent book. I enjoyed the wide variety of characters, the alternating stories and how it all tied up in a nice bow in the end. (I hate it when two sets of timelines never actually tie together.) The writing got a little sluggish in…

  • THE LAST THING HE TOLD ME BY: LAURA DAVE

    Excellent book – fast paced – easy read… I really enjoyed this book! It is one of those ‘mysteries’ that keep going without any lagging. The story just keeps going, which I appreciate. Also because of the wonderful pacing, it was hard to put down and I finished in 2 days (easily could finish in…

  • THE BEEKEEPER’S PROMISE BY: FIONA VALPY

    The overall rating of 4.26 (as of 6/16/21) is a bit fluffed up …This is not a crazy masterpiece that will stick with you forever. It doesnt have that magical writing that will carry us through for years and years. No colleges will study this book. It will most likely, never be a modern classic.…

  • THE CHESTNUT MAN BY: SØREN SVEISTRUP

    So dark. So creepy. So wrong. …. but so good.This was one of the top dark thrillers I’ve read in awhile. I’m upset that I didn’t pick it up sooner. I’m not sure why that is, yet here I am years later after release giving this wonderful book a review it deserved years ago. I…

  • HALF SICK OF SHADOWS BY: LAURA SEBASTIAN

    I so loved this …First off, the good: This felt unique. It created a wonderful world for me. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters, I loved watching their powers build and I really enjoyed the overall plot to the book. The bad … I agree with other reviewers that the jumping around is…

  • THE PERSONAL LIBRARIAN BY: MARIE BENEDICT

    I struggled with this book … but more because I didn’t want it to end. I wanted to absorb it all but also wanted to take in every single word. Sometimes rereading sections just for the joy of it.    I had no idea who Belle was when I picked up this book. I had no idea…

  • LOCK EVERY DOOR BY: RILEY SAGER

    Other reviewers will say the book gets weird… I say, is this really happening?  This is a six day book. The story spans a total of six days. Switching from one of the six days to present day. I might be biased because I think I have an author crush on Riley Sager. I’ve enjoyed…

  • THE RAKE MISTAKE BY: ERICA RIDLEY

    Most charming book I’ve read thus far. What a wonderful, quick book. It’s short, which is sad as I could have kept reading – but the way Ridley writes pulls you right in. It’s the writing style I most enjoy, when conversations pull you along the story. And these conversations – phew! – I could easily…
