BEASTS OF EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE BY RUTH EMMIE LANG
I can’t believe it took me so long to read this. On top of that, I’m upset that I read this via kindle instead of buying and purchasing this as a physical book. This was a beautiful, whimsical, fairytale and I’m not sure if it was AMAZING or if I hadn’t read a fairytale in a…

I’M GLAD MY MOM DIED BY JENNETTE MCCURDY
First off, I want to comment on… what can you really say about someone else’s story? This is Jennette’s real account on her personal life. It’s her opinion and she deserves every right to her opinion and how can anyone say she is wrong. Getting that out of the way – Jennette’s writing is powerful. The book…

A FAREWELL TO ARMS BY ERNEST HEMINGWAY
I’m slowly making my way through all of Hemingway’s novels and what a novel A Farwell To Arms turned out to be. The description of Hemingway’s, excuse me Henry’s, surroundings were what made this book MAGICAL. Especially while the character Henry was at war.

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. Maybe I’m biased because I might find any story in Paris lovely. Who knows. The story is loosely based on Jackie Kennedy’s year in Paris. How the French culture ‘might…

MALIBU RISING BY TAYLOR JENKINS REID
This was a complicated story – and I loved it. That is my biggest takeaway… was ‘wow’ that was overly complicated, there were many characters and I had no idea where the story was going. It was unnecessary. I was confused, I was distracted and I never really knew who I cared about (character wise). All of these…
