  • THE SUN ROSE IN PARIS BY: BY PENNY FIELDS-SCHNEIDER

    THE SUN ROSE IN PARIS BY: BY PENNY FIELDS-SCHNEIDER

    This book was cheesy, but in an artsy way. Does that make sense? The Sun Rose in Paris is first and foremost a love story. I won’t say with who because I loved finding that out myself while reading. It is such a beautiful love story surrounded in the world of art and set back in…

  • SURVIVE THE NIGHT BY: RILEY SAGER

    SURVIVE THE NIGHT BY: RILEY SAGER

    HUGE Riley Sager fan – but this one was harder to get through compared to the others. I just reallllllllyy hated the main character.  I hated being mislead with straight lies from other characters. And I could not put the book down.I’m realizing a pattern with Sager books.– They are an emotional thriller (for the reader).– Usually are…

  • THE BOBBY GOLD STORIES BY: ANTHONY BOURDAIN

    THE BOBBY GOLD STORIES BY: ANTHONY BOURDAIN

    First let me start off by saying, this book isn’t anything special…. but it is. It is because it’s Anthony Bourdain. He’s special. He was special before he died and he’s extra special now. So right away, WOW. It feels you get a little insight to his brain, what he was thinking creatively and that…

    THE SUN ALSO RISES (FIESTA) BY: ERNEST HEMINGWAY

    This is my first Hemingway book and I have to say …. I’m impressed. I really enjoyed this style of writing. I can see how this wouldn’t be for everyone though. The style of writing, to me, is the type where the conversation seems to pull the story along. It might have gotten a bit bogged…

  • NOT A HAPPY FAMILY BY: SHARI LAPENA

    NOT A HAPPY FAMILY BY: SHARI LAPENA

    I thought maybe this author would blow me away but like a previous book I’ve read of hers, it fell flat. The book isn’t bad, necessarily. I read it and enjoy reading it.      The thing is, all the twists and turns… all the times I thought it’s obviously so-and-so… it falls flat in the end. I really…

  • WHEN THE STARS GO DARK BY: PAULA MCLAIN

    WHEN THE STARS GO DARK BY: PAULA MCLAIN

    This is my first Paula McLain novel and right when I finished, I started googling her other novels to purchase more. *** That being said **** This novel didn’t knock words out of the park for me. It wasn’t amazing. It kinda dragged. The ending that I read this (relatively) long book for left be slightly disappointed. The main character’s…
