RECURSION BY: BLAKE CROUCH
This is going to be one of the worst reviews I’ve ever written.. Why is this the worst review ever? BECAUSE THIS BOOK LEFT ME SPEECHLESS. I have no criticisms. I can’t even explain to you how this book made me feel. I feel as if I need a book club meeting to fully discuss everything…

BONE IN THE THROAT BY: ANTHONY BOURDAIN
This surprised me in a good way! I’m so impressed with Bourdain and wish I would have discovered his work sooner! I’m sure we all know him from his cooking shows and being a chef, but what talent for story telling as well. If you love the mob, New York or eating – you’ll love…

THE FOUNTAINS OF SILENCE BY: RUTA SEPETYS
Can we have a moment of silence for this book? That’s what I needed. I read the last line, closed the cover and closed my eyes. I took a breath. Really taking in everything I just read. This book is pure magic. The story line was very interesting. The characters lovable (and not) and everything…

DON’T LOOK FOR ME BY: WENDY WALKER
WOWZA – Didn’t see that one coming … A solid 4.5 starsVery well done thriller. There was some fluff that I found distracting and not worthwhile while reading, so I docked it a half star for that. Overall – it was a great book. Interesting characters. Flipped back and forth to characters interestingly. Each character…
