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…

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…

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.…

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…

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…

We read this book on our roadtrip. Overall it was a good book. It was an interesting plot line and with all the negatives the book pushed on and I still found myself curious what would happen to our main character. I enjoyed the creative ‘extras’ at the end of each section of the book. They…

A long winded book about a girl finding her ground.“A love triangle between two college friends and a charismatic professor alters the lives …” *Possible SPOILER* No. I’m going to say that isn’t true. One of the corners of the triangle has a handful of pages where she even interacts with the professor. *End –…

A reluctant 3 stars.This one was a hard one for me to review. The writing really bothered me for some reason. The writing felt very fluffed. There was a lot of internal thinking that didn’t add anything to the story. The sentences didn’t seem to flow well. I just felt that while I was reading my…

I’m torn what I should rate it! I’d like to start off by saying ‘The Secret History” is one of my favorite books. That is the book that made me put Donna Tartt on a pedestal. When I saw some of the reviews before reading coming out as negative I was blown away. How? These…

Listen, I feel bad about the 3 stars.. but hear me out. I didn’t know this was going to be a planned 3 part series. If so, I’m not sure how interested I would be in investing my time in this series when I picked up the first book. But … here I am and…
