  • ONCE THERE WERE WOLVES BY: CHARLOTTE MCCONAGHY

    Where to start with this book? I had to grab my phone and voice all my thoughts together immediately. I felt a wild feeling. I have no idea the best way to describe this other than, it was insanely magical. It’s a book about wolves, sure. Yet, it’s a book about so much more than that. It’s a book that makes you…

  • THE GLASS CASTLE BY: JEANNETTE WALLS

    I loved The Glass Castle. I loved how messed up it was and how we saw it through a child’s eyes. (Of course, I wouldn’t wish this kind of life on my worst enemy.) What really stood out was how unapologetic the writing was. This is a memoir that isn’t seeking pity. Jeanette just tells it like it is…

I absolutely love every single word. The fairy tale portion that you get snippets of throughout the book definitely bleeds into the rest of…

  • 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…
