THE BODY IN THE LIBRARY BY AGATHA CHRISTIE
As a huge fan of Christie, I found I am not a huge fan of Miss Marple. I love Poirot but found Marple missing the magic that Poirot does. Marple wasn’t even in the story as much as I thought she should have been. Then she comes in and saves the day but I found…

A GOOD IDEA BY CRISTINA MORACHO
There are moments when you should know what you were getting yourself into and this was one of them. I should have known this was going to be an overdone 90s teen angst novel.. but I wasn’t ready for how over the top it would be. If that wasn’t enough.. The title, the cover don’t match…

THE CARTOGRAPHERS BY PENG SHEPHERD
I just finished The Cartographers this morning and I feel I should chill out before writing this review, but here I am writing a review with all the fresh, raw emotions spread all over me.

I read Vonnegut’s first book and loved his talent for storytelling. I watched a documentary on his life and fell in love with him as a person. The author himself, really, really interests me. This is my 4th Vonnegut novel and honestly, as a book lover, I’m mad at myself for not liking it more. I stand…

THE LONDON SÉANCE SOCIETY BY SARAH PENNER
Like other reviewers who read The Lost Apothecary I was excited for Penner’s next book. The title and cover intrigued me enough to pick it up without a second thought. I noticed the goodreads rating dropping and was confused because the first few chapters were so good. As the book progressed, I started understanding. Never question my goodreads friends (ha). This is…

THE GOLDEN COMPASS BY PHILIP PULLMAN
I picked up this book as a recommendation and dove in quickly as it’s already been made into a show on HBO. I admittedly didn’t know this book was written for children. As I struggled to get into the story, I found myself appreciating the imaginative world the author built. I’m not against reading children’s books……
