  • THE NIGHT SWIM BY: MEGAN GOLDIN

    THE NIGHT SWIM BY: MEGAN GOLDIN

    Great book, minus a few chapters. The hype was REAL for this book. So of course I picked up ready to tear it apart. I go into all reviews with a slightly ‘I’m going to prove you wrong’ attitude. I think it keeps me unbiased, but also when books wow me, they really WOW me.…

  • THE BOOK OF LONGINGS BY: SUE MONK KIDD

    THE BOOK OF LONGINGS BY: SUE MONK KIDD

    I was worried I would be offended. In the end I wasn’t.I’m okay with Jesus having a wife and agree that part of his story is missing. I did REALLY enjoy this book. I’m not sure if there are others out there, but this is my first book reading about Jesus having a wife and…

  • THE HUNTING PARTY BY: LUCY FOLEY

    THE HUNTING PARTY BY: LUCY FOLEY

    Not her best … I’m a big fan of Ruth Ware and I will admit this wasn’t her best work. I think some of the other reviewers were a bit harsher than necessary. Don’t let the lower 3 stars on goodreads make you shy away from this mystery book. I will also say, it’s still…

  • THE SURVIVORS BY: JANE HARPER

    THE SURVIVORS BY: JANE HARPER

    I’m doing a rounded up 3.5 stars… I’m not sure how I feel about this book, still. I didnt see the ending coming and not in a ‘wow that was good way ..’ .. the ending comes off as a ‘really? Are you sure? That’s stupid’ kinda way. It felt like it came out of…

  • THE WIFE UPSTAIRS BY: RACHEL HAWKINS

    THE WIFE UPSTAIRS BY: RACHEL HAWKINS

    This was a weird one for me … I rated this book and a month later am writing this review. As I look at my rating (4) I feel it is a little high. This book was weird. It felt all over. It felt confusing. And it definitely didn’t stay with me weeks later where…

  • WHEN WE BELIEVED IN MERMAIDS BY: BARBARA O’NEAL

    WHEN WE BELIEVED IN MERMAIDS BY: BARBARA O’NEAL

    For some reason, I thought I would hate this one … but then I loved it! Not sure why I went into this book with a negative attitude. Maybe because it was my first book read via a kindle and it was free …. but I was so happy and surprised! The characters were enjoyable.…

  • LONG BRIGHT RIVER BY: LIZ MOORE

    LONG BRIGHT RIVER BY: LIZ MOORE

    Kept reminding me of the TV show ‘Shameless’. I know this was set in Philly … but I couldn’t help letting my mind wandering to the scenes from Shameless, which is set in Chicago. The drugs, crime and a sister trying to keep it together on the side. Now I don’t mean to say the…
