  • ANXIOUS PEOPLE BY: FREDRIK BACKMAN

    First off, I LOVE FREDRIK BACKMAN. I’ve read a few of his books. A Man Called Ove touched me so much I named my jeep after Ove. I normally love his books and how he pulls at the reader’s heart strings and brings humor into sometimes not very humorous situations. That being said, I STRUGGLED…

  • THE HALLOWMAS TRAIN BY: GLORIA PEARSON-VASEY

    THE HALLOWMAS TRAIN BY: GLORIA PEARSON-VASEY

    What was up with ‘part 2’? Overall I enjoyed the book …. the first part of the book. I don’t know why part 2 was added and honestly it didn’t work for me. Halfway into the ‘second’ part, which focuses more on Hilma, I wanted to stop. We weren’t world building anymore. The senso angle…

  • THE DEADLY MYSTERY OF THE MISSING DIAMONDS BY: T.E. KINSEY

    THE DEADLY MYSTERY OF THE MISSING DIAMONDS BY: T.E. KINSEY

    The book is actually 20 pages long … not sure what those other pages are doing there… All seriousness, it was a cute premises, but as others have mentioned there are pages of pages of repeating going on. One character finds out something, tells in full detail to someone else who tells in full detail…

  • T.BALL AND THE RISE OF THE WORLDSPINNERS BY: STEPHEN MOORE

    T.BALL AND THE RISE OF THE WORLDSPINNERS BY: STEPHEN MOORE

    This is simply a poorly mapped out book. After finishing this book, I am thoroughly confused. The book starts off on an interesting start. It caught my attention. Which is probably the reason I kept reading it. Hoping for a glimpse of that beginning to make its way back to us.     It doesn’t.     Suddenly we…

  • APPLES NEVER FALL BY: LIANE MORIARTY

    APPLES NEVER FALL BY: LIANE MORIARTY

    I have loved Moriarty’s previous projects, but I have to admit .. I have only ‘watched’ them. This is my first time picking up a Moriarty book and honestly, not that impressed.     Yes, I did read the whole thing but it was such a slow burn with a dud of an ending, I wish I…

  • A COMEDIAN WALKS INTO A FUNERAL HOME BY: DENNIS KELLY

    A COMEDIAN WALKS INTO A FUNERAL HOME BY: DENNIS KELLY

    This book didn’t hit the mark for me. In the beginning of the book the comedian bombed in a competition. That scenario happened over and over for me while reading this book.    I didn’t enjoy the humor of the book. I am not saying the book was depressing … more … nothing clicked. I didn’t…
