What can you even say about such an iconic book, that hasn’t already been said? The answer? Nothing. So I won’t sit here and try to give a beautiful review on the writing, the songs, the poems or the story. That would waste everyone’s time. What I will do is mention a few…

Again, I didn’t read the synopsis and was rewarded. When I started this book I had no idea what ‘Hester’ represented. As I neared the end of the book, I actually started to get annoyed Hester wasn’t showing up. I was delightfully surprised when I found the true meaning of Hester. If you are a naive…

This story is not trending very well on the star rating as I expected and I find that interesting. I personally found this story lovely. Maybe I’m biased because I might find any story in Paris lovely. Who knows. The story is loosely based on Jackie Kennedy’s year in Paris. How the French culture ‘might…

This was a complicated story – and I loved it. That is my biggest takeaway… was ‘wow’ that was overly complicated, there were many characters and I had no idea where the story was going. It was unnecessary. I was confused, I was distracted and I never really knew who I cared about (character wise). All of these…

I’m not sure what could be said about The Lord of the Rings that hasn’t already been said (or written in a book) (or studied in a college course) (or… you get the point). Instead, I will mention some surprising moments I had while reading. First off, I had no idea this was a SINGLE…

I’d like to start off by saying, I am not a Hoover super fan. I know they exist out there… but that’s not me. I’d like to finish by saying, holy cow I think I am becoming a Hoover super fan. My favorite aspect about the handful of Hoover’s books I’ve read is…

I have a goal of reading all of Ernest Hemingway‘s stories. I am starting out slow and working through the back catalog with ease and in a relaxed manner. I’ve read a few others of his books and I would recommend to readers that they at least read The Sun Also Rises, and maybe A Farewell To Arms. This…

As a reader of Willingham’s previous novel – I would say the author has ‘stepped up’ in her next book. Her first book I guessed the twist right away and as I started this book I thought I had it all figured out once again. I wasn’t expecting to be surprised…. but I was. It…

First of all, this is exactly what I was expecting when I heard McConaughey wrote a book. For those who are surprised and not expecting what ‘Greenlights’ is … I mean………………………… you have heard of Matthew McConaughey, right? He represents himself very well out in the world and this is a huge reflection of himself. It was…

Can you even review this CLASSIC? You always remember the book that made you love reading and The BFG was it for me. I was curious to reread as an adult and I’m glad I did. I do have new feelings on the story and how kinda ‘odd’ it is. I mean, thinking back to most…
