  • THE MAID BY NITA PROSE

    THE MAID BY NITA PROSE

    The Maid is something special. How to pinpoint what exactly that ‘special’ is will be impossible .. but here is my attempt through this review.     If you’ve read any of my previous reviews you’ll know that I HATE when there is no mystery. When author cannot give the reader that ‘wonder’ while reading. If every…

  • A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES BY SARAH J. MAAS

    I was very hesitant to hop on this ‘trend’ that this book seemed to create for itself. I’m not sure what happened but I started seeing the following that ‘Twilight’ and ’50 Shades of Grey’ started getting and I’m just sitting here wondering when they are going to make this a movie. I’m a big…

  • THIS TENDER LAND BY WILLIAM KENT KRUEGER

    This book is so special to me. Whatever little heart strings I have, this book tugged away at each and every one of them. It is loaded with adventure, action, pain and wrapped in a bow of innocence.    The child-like view was captured so well by the author. The had to grow up faster than…

  • THE FACE OF A STRANGER BY ANNE PERRY

    My mom wanted me to read this series and bought me the first 3 books. I’m not going to lie, I’m not big on book recommendations as I seem to find my own books to add to my TBR pile just fine. So adding more recs on top of that is overwhelming. On top of…

  • THE BOOK OF COLD CASES BY SIMONE ST. JAMES

    I can’t help myself and am wanting to write the review of ‘The Book of Cold Cases’ the morning after finishing the book.     I really should marinate with my thoughts on the but it was that good. My first time picking up a Simone St James book I kept waiting for the ‘twist’ where we found…

  • PLAYER PIANO BY KURT VONNEGUT JR.

    What can I even say that hasn’t already been said. I will admit, I picked up this book after watching the new documentary that I watched on Kurt. I am disappointed I haven’t picked up this classic author sooner.     I wanted to start from his first book. It made me really want to read more…

  • ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE BY ANTHONY DOERR

    This is an easy book to review due to how absolutely wonderful it was. I’ve read a lot of WWII books in my short life and I love it when I stumble across one that feels ‘different’. A story line that hasn’t been done before.  This book was magical. The magic comes from the vivid writing that…

  • THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY BY MATT HAIG

    Warning, this is not a cute book about a library. (ha) Book lovers beware, this will not scratch your book loving itch.     This is a very thoughtfulbook though. I think I was expecting more of that Owen Wilson movie, Midnight in Paris. This is my fault for never really knowing what I should pick up and…
