  • 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…

  • THE CLOCKMAKER’S DAUGHTER BY: KATE MORTON

    THE CLOCKMAKER’S DAUGHTER BY: KATE MORTON

    I didn’t hate this … but I might be biased because I just discovered Kate Morton and she is my new obsession. I’ll agree that this book is no where near the quality of her other books. It’s long, it’s drown out. You aren’t sure where she is going with it. For me, I wasn’t…

  • THE LETTERS OF THE DEVIL II: THE LEGACY OF L #2 BY: BEN WRIGHT-HEUMAN

    THE LETTERS OF THE DEVIL II: THE LEGACY OF L #2 BY: BEN WRIGHT-HEUMAN

    Interesting …This is my first graphic novel. I enjoyed it. Sometimes I got confused on the characters because some of them looked too similar. So I wasn’t sure who was talking at some points. Very interesting storyline. Complicated, but not too complicated. A nice mystery to keep you guessing. I did read this via a…

  • MURDER IN RETROSPECT (HERCULE POIROT #25) BY: AGATHA CHRISTIE

    MURDER IN RETROSPECT (HERCULE POIROT #25) BY: AGATHA CHRISTIE

    Another Christie Classic! I am working through my goal of reading all the books in the Hercule Poirot series. This was a bit different one as we ‘went back in time’ to solve the murder. I was trying to keep up with Hercule as I read. I thought I knew who did it the whole…

  • A FATAL LIE (INSPECTOR IAN RUTLEDGE, #23) BY: CHARLES TODD

    A FATAL LIE (INSPECTOR IAN RUTLEDGE, #23) BY: CHARLES TODD

    My first Rutledge book! This was an okay book … I enjoyed that I was able to pick up book #23 and not feel like I was missing anything by not reading books 1-22. I also really enjoy books set in the past. No quick texting or cameras, etc. The inspector has to go back…
