  • DON’T LOOK BACK BY BEN CHEETHAM

    DON’T LOOK BACK BY BEN CHEETHAM

    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…

  • THE POSTMISTRESS OF PARIS BY MEG WAITE CLAYTON

    THE POSTMISTRESS OF PARIS BY MEG WAITE CLAYTON

    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…

  • THE SENTENCE BY LOUISE ERDRICH

    THE SENTENCE BY LOUISE ERDRICH

    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…

  • ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND BY LEWIS CARROLL

    ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND BY LEWIS CARROLL

    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…

  • Make the Onions Cry By: S.E. Bourne

    Make the Onions Cry By: S.E. Bourne

    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…

  • THE MAKING OF ANOTHER MAJOR MOTION PICTURE MASTERPIECE BY TOM HANKS

    THE MAKING OF ANOTHER MAJOR MOTION PICTURE MASTERPIECE BY TOM HANKS

    When I read Tom Hanks wrote a book, I put it on my list of things I HAD TO READ. I panicked. I was so excited. Once I heard Tom Hanks was reading for the audio book, it was obvious what format I needed.      I waited months to get my hands (or ears) on…

  • The Vaster Wilds By: Lauren Geoff

    The Vaster Wilds By: Lauren Geoff

    A slow journey to disappointment.
