OTHER BIRDS BY SARAH ADDISON ALLEN
No matter what your thoughts are with my rating, in the end this is such a sweet story. I personally had a hard time really diving in and letting this magical-realism world the author created take over. It was a wonderful overall story, wonderful setting and I really loved all the baggage each character had. It was…

I USED TO BE A MISERABLE F*CK: AN EVERYMAN’S GUIDE TO A MEANINGFUL LIFE BY JOHN KIM
What it comes down to is I get why the author directed this to men, but it’s a shame. There are some really good nuggets of advice in here but as a woman you have to be creative to decode. On the other hand, I get why he would skinny down and make a book he wanted,…

THE CLOISTERS BY KATY HAYS
There is not a lot to dislike about this book….. NYC, tarot, gardens, magic(?), museum, lake house… I mean… it has the making of a great book. Hays took every piece of of a good story people love and threw it in a single story. Yet, it felt held back. So held back in fact,…

THE ONLY ONE LEFT BY RILEY SAGER
Let’s start this review off by saying, I’m a Riley Sager mega fan. Now, let’s talk book. If I had to describe this book in one word the answer would be ‘messy’. The overall plot… messy. The ‘setups’ to try to confuse the reader were … silly, coincidental and unbelievable. There were so many holes…

THE PARIS MYSTERY BY KIRSTY MANNING
This was a messy one for me. Left me relieved it was over, if I’m honest. If you’ve read any of my reviews, you’ll know I’m a big dialogue girl. I love books based and pulled along with pure dialogue. So, it should come as no surprise that one of the biggest sticking points…

PRINCE CASPIAN BY C.S. LEWIS
Luckily there still exists a glimpse into the world we left behind in the first book, Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe, but overall I felt lost and longing to go back to the magic that Lewis created in Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe. This story struggled to get my attention. I felt I missed my original characters too…

UGLY LOVE BY COLLEEN HOOVER
Two people meet, fall in love but someone’s past won’t let them create a common future.That could be an over simplified summary of this book. I know we have Hoover super fans here and listen I get the hype! The same way I understood the Fifty Shades of Grey hype. And for the same reason (maybe more…
