Book Reviews

  • THE GUEST LIST BY: LUCY FOLEY

    You don’t know anything … To tell you the truth, I first started reading this and I hated it. I was already ready to give a bad review. I hated the way it was written? I find it odd to say now because I eventually got used to it or the things that annoyed me…

  • HOME BEFORE DARK BY: RILEY SAGER

    Read in a matter of a few hours, it was THAT good. Great book. So, so good. While reading you have a sense that you’ve seen a movie just like this and it easily plays in your head. The writing is easy to follow and you soon pick up the pattern of going back and…

  • RULES OF CIVILITY BY: AMOR TOWLES

    Amor Towles is in the running for my new favorite author. I just happened to pick up two of Towles’ books. I read them in the wrong order – but either way, I have fallen in love. I fell in love with his writing style. The characters in his books. The perfect way he travels…

  • THE NIGHT PORTRAIT BY: LAURA MORELLI

    Dreamy … I really enjoyed this dreamy, time traveling story of WWII. There were a lot of characters to keep up with, four in total, and that was slightly over whelming to begin with. Eventually you get to know the characters and follow along. The dates at the beginning of the chapters I started to…

  • THE NIGHTINGALE BY: KRISTIN HANNAH

    Still wiping the tears from my face… Such an amazing book. I didn’t want this book to end. I set it down and walked away just to prolong it that much longer. This is such an amazing book. It’s written SO well. The sentences are complicated but poetic. The descriptions read like a dream (sometimes…

  • UPROOTED BY: NAOMI NOVIK

    I’ve recently discovered Naomi Novik and I can’t seem to get enough. Another wonderful book by Novik.She has a way of telling stories without overwhelming the reader. I’m amazed she invented a world, told a story in less than a 7 book series. I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed reading every word, diving into…

  • THE STAR-CROSSED SISTERS OF TUSCANY BY: LORI NELSON SPIELMAN

    More than I expected .. Reviewers mentioned this was an amazing walk through Italy … which is great, but kind of didn’t make me want to pick up the book for *just* that. But WOW – it’s so much more than that. This is a love story, a coming of age story, an adventure and…

  • THE FORGOTTEN GARDEN BY: KATE MORTON

    There is something about this book .. I can’t quite put into words … but whatever it is, it’s great. I loved this book. I loved how long it was, I love the journey I went on, I loved how I slowly found out about each characters, I loved how I bounded around in time…

  • MAGIC LESSONS (PRACTICAL MAGIC, #0.1) BY: ALICE HOFFMAN

    I’m sorry it took me so long to write a review on this one because it really was so so good. Sometimes there are books that you finish reading and just whip out a review, easy peasy. This one felt different. It stuck with me. I couldn’t dive right into another book easily. I had…
