I read this book via an audio book, so my experience might be different than others. Overall the story felt all over the place. It seemed a mix between a horror and suspense but never really settling on just one. It sometimes felt like the author was trying to hit many points instead of just…

Start off straight away and say, a big reason for my rating is the way the title is misleading. To me, this story isn’t about the roles ‘Postmistresses’ played in the war in Paris. One could say it isn’t even based in Paris. This is a love story between artists, prisoners of war and an…

This book didn’t do it for me. I picked it up thinking I was going to read a book about a ghost in a bookstore… and the story that goes around with that. Although there was a ghost… and a bookstore… the story confused me. It felt all over the place. Unorganized. I couldn’t connect with…

One of those books that maybe everyone should read… but if this wasn’t a Disney movie, would anyone really care? I’ve read a few ‘out there ‘books. Books written ‘back in the day’ when situations don’t make sense. The story doesn’t flow. The ideas are so far out there, that you are amazed by the modern…

A book that isn’t for me. I don’t dislike short stories or essays, but I also don’t reach for them either. A positive I found is the style of the writing was so different from any collection of short stories I have read before. Clever title and love all the onion related quotes at…

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…

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…

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…

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.…
