This fell into my ‘must read’ books and so I scooped it up without really thinking. I’ve noticed it compared to Where the Crawdads Sing quite often and the only thing this has in common is it’s in the southern swamps. Otherwise, I’d say I’m quite offended others are comparing the two. I would place this in the ‘don’t…

I always go into a Hilderbrand book with anopen mind but realistic that I might not enjoy it. It’s a 50/50 chance for me. I started out with a big eye roll when I realized we were going into the … ‘super natural’. My overall feeling is this book is boring and drawn out to give…

As a huge fan of Christie, I found I am not a huge fan of Miss Marple. I love Poirot but found Marple missing the magic that Poirot does. Marple wasn’t even in the story as much as I thought she should have been. Then she comes in and saves the day but I found…

There are moments when you should know what you were getting yourself into and this was one of them. I should have known this was going to be an overdone 90s teen angst novel.. but I wasn’t ready for how over the top it would be. If that wasn’t enough.. The title, the cover don’t match…

I just finished The Cartographers this morning and I feel I should chill out before writing this review, but here I am writing a review with all the fresh, raw emotions spread all over me. To start off, this was a good idea. I adore that it was about a real situation, I love that the author used the real…

I agree with other reviewers that this book starts out SLOW. You really have to push through the mud to get to the stream (is that a fun saying? Did I just make that up?). I already am not a big fan of books based on sleep, lack of sleep or dreams. I find you instantly get…

I read Vonnegut’s first book and loved his talent for storytelling. I watched a documentary on his life and fell in love with him as a person. The author himself, really, really interests me. This is my 4th Vonnegut novel and honestly, as a book lover, I’m mad at myself for not liking it more. I stand…

Like other reviewers who read The Lost Apothecary I was excited for Penner’s next book. The title and cover intrigued me enough to pick it up without a second thought. I noticed the goodreads rating dropping and was confused because the first few chapters were so good. As the book progressed, I started understanding. Never question my goodreads friends (ha). This is…

I picked up this book as a recommendation and dove in quickly as it’s already been made into a show on HBO. I admittedly didn’t know this book was written for children. As I struggled to get into the story, I found myself appreciating the imaginative world the author built. I’m not against reading children’s books……

No matter what your thoughts are with my rating, in the end this is such a sweet story. I personally had a hard time really diving in and letting this magical-realism world the author created take over. It was a wonderful overall story, wonderful setting and I really loved all the baggage each character had. It was…
