  • GWENDY’S MAGIC FEATHER BY: RICHARD CHIZMAR, STEPHEN KING

    Can this even be considered a book? This book was frustrating. It is ‘endorsed’ by Stephen King .. so you immediately think – well this can’t be that bad. The first book was co-written by King and Chizmar. King started it, couldn’t finish and then let Chizmar work through it. The second book is written…

  • THE AGE OF LIGHT BY: WHITNEY SCHARER

    I thought this book was horrible. HORRIBLE. I mean it wasn’t bad .. but honestly it wasn’t good. I’m being overdramatic, I know. This is who the book did to me though. I think the worst part was the actual subject matter. It felt like smut. A different version of ’50 Shades of Grey”. I might be being…

  • TROUBLES IN PARADISE (PARADISE, #3) BY: ELIN HILDERBRAND

    Disappointed. SO, disappointed. I started with the first book and got hooked. The story line was great, I loved all the characters and Hilderbrand left readers wondering at the end. The second book was meh, I was thinking ‘okay, she’s just trying to bridge us to the big finale for the third book.’ WRONG. I…

  • BEAUTIFUL WORLD, WHERE ARE YOU BY: SALLY ROONEY

    I can already hear all the critics praising this profound novel and then I think … did they even read it? I will admit I did not read Normal People but I did watch the Hulu adaptation of it and found it was enjoyable. I now see how Rooney was able to make a series out of her books.…

  • THE FRANK GOULD STORIES VOL 2 BY: ALAN ASNEN

    This book just didn’t interest me.     The author’s note at the beginning made me laugh – but I should have seen the red flags that were clearly there. The author mentions how we should appreciate the book is only 99 cents and more or less take that into consideration before leaving a bad review. Now…

  • Tom Lake By: Ann Patchett

    Tom Lake By: Ann Patchett

    Absolutely beautiful book about a mother telling her children about a love interest turned great movie star. You can’t say this book isn’t well written. It is. It’s beautiful. I found real peace while reading and even though winter is hitting us now, I longed for the warmth of the Michigan summers. The idea of…

  • False Witness By: Karin Slaughter

    This one wasn’t for me. The amount of relief I feel that I don’t have to read this story anymore is overwhelming. I wish I didn’t finish it, but also glad I did. Conflicting feelings there.     Anyways – the biggest issue for me was right off the bat I couldn’t get in to the story. I…

  • When No One is Watching By: Alyssa Cole

    Not going to waste any more of my time with this book. It was cringy.      Going into gentrification, uncomfortable ‘romance’ and a ‘thriller’. Poor execution. A lot of hate, rather than story. Not my thing.
