Book Reviews

  • OTHER BIRDS BY SARAH ADDISON ALLEN

    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…

  • I USED TO BE A MISERABLE F*CK: AN EVERYMAN’S GUIDE TO A MEANINGFUL LIFE BY JOHN KIM

    What it comes down to is I get why the author directed this to men, but it’s a shame. There are some really good nuggets of advice in here but as a woman you have to be creative to decode. On the other hand, I get why he would skinny down and make a book he wanted,…

  • THE CLOISTERS BY KATY HAYS

    There is not a lot to dislike about this book….. NYC, tarot, gardens, magic(?), museum, lake house… I mean… it has the making of a great book. Hays took every piece of of a good story people love and threw it in a single story. Yet, it felt held back. So held back in fact,…

  • THE ONLY ONE LEFT BY RILEY SAGER

    Let’s start this review off by saying, I’m a Riley Sager mega fan.      Now, let’s talk book. If I had to describe this book in one word the answer would be ‘messy’.  The overall plot… messy. The ‘setups’ to try to confuse the reader were … silly, coincidental and unbelievable. There were so many holes…

  • THE PARIS MYSTERY BY KIRSTY MANNING

    This was a messy one for me. Left me relieved it was over, if I’m honest.      If you’ve read any of my reviews, you’ll know I’m a big dialogue girl. I love books based and pulled along with pure dialogue. So, it should come as no surprise that one of the biggest sticking points…

  • PRINCE CASPIAN BY C.S. LEWIS

    Luckily there still exists a glimpse into the world we left behind in the first book, Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe, but overall I felt lost and longing to go back to the magic that Lewis created in Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe.    This story struggled to get my attention. I felt I missed my original characters too…

  • CAGING SKIES BY: CHRISTINE LEUNENS

    The date finished is really the date I gave up. Life is too short to force yourself to read a book that doesn’t deserve it. ​I was bored in the beginning, stayed bored in the middle and as I neared the end the boring was getting so bad that I had to stop.  The book wasn’t…

  • DEAR EDWARD BY: ANN NAPOLITANO

    I was so bored, I couldn’t finish. This book is SO CUTE. Unfortunately, it is also SO BORING. It’s called Dear Edward… yet we spend more time with these characters that didn’t effect Edward’s life (not really on their short time together on the plane) and that I don’t care about. It just was a…

  • A GOOD MAN BY: ANI KATZ

    A GOOD MAN BY: ANI KATZ

    Interesting… This was an interesting read. I wanted to set it down and walk away a few times while reading but in the end finished it. The writing style, at first, made me angry. I love quotes and I hate guessing when someone is thinking something vs saying it out loud. This writing style annoyed…
