THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING BY J.R.R. TOLKIEN
What can you even say about such an iconic book, that hasn’t already been said? The answer? Nothing. So I won’t sit here and try to give a beautiful review on the writing, the songs, the poems or the story. That would waste everyone’s time. What I will do is mention a few…

HESTER BY LAURIE LICO ALBANESE
Again, I didn’t read the synopsis and was rewarded. When I started this book I had no idea what ‘Hester’ represented. As I neared the end of the book, I actually started to get annoyed Hester wasn’t showing up. I was delightfully surprised when I found the true meaning of Hester. If you are a naive…

JACQUELINE IN PARIS BY ANN MAH
This story is not trending very well on the star rating as I expected and I find that interesting. I personally found this story lovely.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS BY J.R.R. TOLKIEN
I’m not sure what could be said about The Lord of the Rings that hasn’t already been said (or written in a book) (or studied in a college course) (or… you get the point). Instead, I will mention some surprising moments I had while reading. First off, I had no idea this was a SINGLE…

REMINDERS OF HIM BY COLLEEN HOOVER
I’d like to start off by saying, I am not a Hoover super fan. I know they exist out there… but that’s not me. I’d like to finish by saying, holy cow I think I am becoming a Hoover super fan. My favorite aspect about the handful of Hoover’s books I’ve read is…

A MOVEABLE FEAST BY ERNEST HEMINGWAY
I have a goal of reading all of Ernest Hemingway‘s stories. I am starting out slow and working through the back catalog with ease and in a relaxed manner. I’ve read a few others of his books and I would recommend to readers that they at least read The Sun Also Rises, and maybe A Farewell To Arms. This…
