  • THE FAMILY GAME BY CATHERINE STEADMAN

    I’m not going to overcomplicate my review because it’s not an overly complicated book.      This is a classic thriller. A plane read. A quick read. A Netflix movie.Whatever you want to call it, it does the job and it does it quick. I found this story quite enjoyable. I read it quickly and became quite…

  • THE WISHING GAME BY MEG SHAFFER

    A simple way to wrap up this story is it will warm your soul. It’s one of those wholesome, lovely book about books that book people will curl up in a chair and melt over. (At least that is how I reacted.)     As everyone mentions, this is a Willy Wonka inspired novel and Meg did…

  • BEFORE WE WERE YOURS BY LISA WINGATE

    One of my favorite things to do is ‘learn’ while being entertained reading a book. I went into this novel not knowing what I was reading and glad the author made a note at the end. Although not based on one actual person or family, the author did a good job taking many stories and compiling…

  • THE UNMAKING OF JUNE FARROW BY ADRIENNE YOUNG

    This is my first Adrienne Young book and I promise it won’t be my last.       I adored how Young wrote. The writing was as beautiful as the flower filled setting we opened up to.  This is a complicated topic, time travel. I picked up this book blind and had no idea that would…

  • THE VILLA BY RACHEL HAWKINS

    Rachel Hawkins is in the group of authors that I look for … I get excited when one of these authors puts out a book and I want to be the first to read it. I’m a little on The Villa, I’ll admit. I’ll confess I saw the ratings tumble as it was first released…

  • AS LONG AS THE LEMON TREES GROW BY ZOULFA KATOUH

    A absolute heartbreaking story from Syria. Yes, Syria. A place that I know is going through (still going through?) some heartbreakingevents but no one talks enough about. 4.5 stars for me and I’ll explain my 1/2 star drop later in the review.      This is a beautiful story, paired with a beautiful cover and an even…

  • THE WITCHES BY ROALD DAHL

    A re-read for me.      When rereading you get to experience the Roald magic all over again. I know there are a lot of ‘things’ to discuss about him as a person, but the magic he has in his books is still quite remarkable.      I really enjoyed The Witches and am going for a 4.5 stars.…

  • WHEN I’M DEAD BY HANNAH MORRISSEY

    A wonderful, twisty, true crime novel that doesn’t surprise you, but entertains you none the less.     I’ll dive right in to the positives with this book. I was pulled in immediately and quickly became obsessed. The characters felt complex, distinct and interesting for a reader. I didn’t expect the ending, but also I wasn’t…

  • IN THE WOODS REVIEW BY: TANA FRENCH

    I love Tana French. I love the way she writes and makes the story flow. The story was excellent. It pulled on all the right heart strings and made me keep wanting more, keep guessing and trying to understand the past. The only issue I had with the book was the ending. (SPOILER) I didnt like being…
