  • UPROOTED BY: NAOMI NOVIK

    UPROOTED BY: NAOMI NOVIK

    I’ve recently discovered Naomi Novik and I can’t seem to get enough. Another wonderful book by Novik.She has a way of telling stories without overwhelming the reader. I’m amazed she invented a world, told a story in less than a 7 book series. I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed reading every word, diving into…

  • THE STAR-CROSSED SISTERS OF TUSCANY BY: LORI NELSON SPIELMAN

    THE STAR-CROSSED SISTERS OF TUSCANY BY: LORI NELSON SPIELMAN

    More than I expected .. Reviewers mentioned this was an amazing walk through Italy … which is great, but kind of didn’t make me want to pick up the book for *just* that. But WOW – it’s so much more than that. This is a love story, a coming of age story, an adventure and…

  • THE FORGOTTEN GARDEN BY: KATE MORTON

    THE FORGOTTEN GARDEN BY: KATE MORTON

    There is something about this book .. I can’t quite put into words … but whatever it is, it’s great. I loved this book. I loved how long it was, I love the journey I went on, I loved how I slowly found out about each characters, I loved how I bounded around in time…

  • MAGIC LESSONS (PRACTICAL MAGIC, #0.1) BY: ALICE HOFFMAN

    MAGIC LESSONS (PRACTICAL MAGIC, #0.1) BY: ALICE HOFFMAN

    I’m sorry it took me so long to write a review on this one because it really was so so good. Sometimes there are books that you finish reading and just whip out a review, easy peasy. This one felt different. It stuck with me. I couldn’t dive right into another book easily. I had…

    THE INVISIBLE LIFE OF ADDIE LARUE BY: V.E. SCHWAB

    This has to be the top best, five, ten books I have ever read. It is a great mix of a great story, great characters, thrill, suspense, mystery IT JUST HAS IT ALL. I can’t believe it took my so long to read this! I’m upset with myself for not letting me get the chance…

  • THE TURN OF THE KEY BY: RUTH WARE

    THE TURN OF THE KEY BY: RUTH WARE

    Not sure why so many low stars from my fellow readers for these excellent book? Okay yes, it was a little weird. A little odd. Not your normal thriller – BUT HOW MANY TIMES CAN AUTHORS RE-WRITE AN AGATHA CHRISTIE BOOK? This was different and I loved it. It was weird, odd and had lots…

  • THE FOUR WINDS BY: KRISTIN HANNAH

    THE FOUR WINDS BY: KRISTIN HANNAH

    4.5 stars rounded up to 5. HUGE FAN of Kristin Hannah. This book was a tough one. Same wonderful writing you’d expect from the author but dang, it’s depressing. There was never any happiness, which honestly made it hard to read. But also, where is there happiness in ‘The Great Depression’. I mean … it…
