  • A FAREWELL TO ARMS BY ERNEST HEMINGWAY

    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. WW1 doesn’t get as much attention as WWII, but it seems way more brutal…

  • THE LORD OF THE RINGS BY J.R.R. TOLKIEN

    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…

  • A MOVEABLE FEAST BY ERNEST HEMINGWAY

    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…

  • THE BFG BY ROALD DAHL

    THE BFG BY ROALD DAHL

    Can you even review this CLASSIC?      You always remember the book that made you love reading and The BFG was it for me. I was curious to reread as an adult and I’m glad I did. I do have new feelings on the story and how kinda ‘odd’ it is. I mean, thinking back to most…

  • PRIDE AND PREJUDICE BY JANE AUSTEN

    PRIDE AND PREJUDICE BY JANE AUSTEN

    This is my third time reading Pride and Prejudice. An easy 5 stars. This time I mixed things up a bit and ‘read’ via an audiobook. It was just as pleasant as reading on paper.      This book is an absolute classic and everyone should give it a read.      For my movie loves, if you loved…

  • THE SUN ALSO RISES (FIESTA) BY: ERNEST HEMINGWAY

    THE SUN ALSO RISES (FIESTA) BY: ERNEST HEMINGWAY

    This is my first Hemingway book and I have to say …. I’m impressed. I really enjoyed this style of writing. I can see how this wouldn’t be for everyone though. The style of writing, to me, is the type where the conversation seems to pull the story along. It might have gotten a bit bogged…

  • A WRINKLE IN TIME BY: MADELEINE L’ENGLE

    A WRINKLE IN TIME BY: MADELEINE L’ENGLE

    A Wrinkle In Time is a ‘classic’. I’m sure my review won’t deter or push you to read this classic.     I have not watched the Disney adaption of this book, but I will admit Disney put it on my radar. Watching the trailers peaked my interest that it was originally a book. I got this…
