  • IT WAS ALWAYS THIS WAY BY: LEIGH DONNELLY

    This was an … interesting one …It wasn’t my favorite – yet… I found myself thinking about it when I wasn’t reading it.It wasn’t amazing writing. I had to skim over some parts because of that. It felt like the characters were droning on and on a lot. Which was annoying to ‘listen’ to because…

  • LAST DAY BY: LUANNE RICE

    I thought I liked this book … but when I came back here to write the review I realized I completely forgot about it.It was a good book to pass the time on … wasn’t anything special. Due to the redundancy, you can half pay attention to the words and still know what’s going on…

  • MY GRANDMOTHER ASKED ME TO TELL YOU SHE’S SORRY BY: FREDRIK BACKMAN

    What is it about Backman that drives me crazy? It’s buts because  ‘A Man Called Ove’ I was so taken with I named my Jeep after Ove. I laughed and cried and just really wanted this book to end. Not sure how I can feel all these things at once – yet, here we are.  Other reviewers…

  • THE GIRL IN CABIN 13 BY: A.J. RIVERS

    By no means a life changing thriller here, but a good solid effort from the author. It had a lot of *eye rolls* moments and I have to agree with many other reviewers when they mention the character building and plot development was poor.      It’s a straight give away on the ‘who-dun-it’ part. On top of that…

  • THE BEST OF FRIENDS BY: LUCINDA BERRY

    This was a tough one for me! Overall I liked it… it was an interesting idea. Pretty messed up, in all the right ways. Exactly what you are looking for  when it comes to a thriller.     I chugged through this book and found the premise so interesting I sometimes had a hard time putting…

  • UNSPEAKABLE THINGS BY: JESS LOUREY

    Interesting book! What intrigued me about it was that it was based on a true story. I am out of true crime documentaries to watch, so I thought why not read one? Yet, that’s not really what this book is about. Which I knocked a full star off for.      The book is about Cassie and her…

  • IF YOU TELL BY: GREGG OLSEN

    THIS IS NUTS.First of all I agree with many reviewers who say, sometimes reality is worse than fiction. So incredibly true. You hear about torture or watch it in movies but it hits differently when it is true.     This isn’t the most beautifully written book. I respect that the author wanted to make it  story-like…

  • EVERYTHING WE DIDN’T SAY BY: NICOLE BAART

    This is a tough one for me…     I enjoyed the book. I’m a sucker for a good (even bad) thriller. I seem to like the ride of the thrill whether I expect what is coming or not. This ‘thriller’ or ‘who-dun-it’ – whatever you want to call it – was a SLOW BURN. Everything felt very dragged out.   …

  • BILLIE SOMEDAY: THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME BY: ANDY GRAHAM

    This was a cute book. I’m still unsure of the intended audience. I was nervous it would be graphic or adult fantasy, but then it wasn’t. It also wasn’t ‘cute’. Very interesting road the author decided to take with the story.     I enjoyed the way all the animals spoke. The language they used. The way…

  • 3RD DEGREE BY: JAMES PATTERSON

    My quick one-two about this author and his style of writing (at least at this point in his career) is that he is SUCH A MALE. (ha)     I’m not sure what I even mean by that but you can just tell that he is living some little boy fantasy. Add on that he is writing from…
