THE CARTOGRAPHERS BY PENG SHEPHERD
I just finished The Cartographers this morning and I feel I should chill out before writing this review, but here I am writing a review with all the fresh, raw emotions spread all over me. To start off, this was a good idea. I adore that it was about a real situation, I love that the author used the real…

BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS KURT VONNEGUT JR.
I read Vonnegut’s first book and loved his talent for storytelling. I watched a documentary on his life and fell in love with him as a person. The author himself, really, really interests me. This is my 4th Vonnegut novel and honestly, as a book lover, I’m mad at myself for not liking it more. I stand…

THE LONDON SÉANCE SOCIETY BY SARAH PENNER
Like other reviewers who read The Lost Apothecary I was excited for Penner’s next book. The title and cover intrigued me enough to pick it up without a second thought. I noticed the goodreads rating dropping and was confused because the first few chapters were so good. As the book progressed, I started understanding. Never question my goodreads friends (ha). This is…

ANXIOUS PEOPLE BY: FREDRIK BACKMAN
First off, I LOVE FREDRIK BACKMAN. I’ve read a few of his books. A Man Called Ove touched me so much I named my jeep after Ove. I normally love his books and how he pulls at the reader’s heart strings and brings humor into sometimes not very humorous situations. That being said, I STRUGGLED…

APPLES NEVER FALL BY: LIANE MORIARTY
I have loved Moriarty’s previous projects, but I have to admit .. I have only ‘watched’ them. This is my first time picking up a Moriarty book and honestly, not that impressed. Yes, I did read the whole thing but it was such a slow burn with a dud of an ending, I wish I…

THE STARLESS CROWN BY JAMES ROLLINS
As a huge James Rollins fan, this is a hard one to get through. Maybe why I avoided having to write a review on it for so long. Here we go… I really enjoy all of Rollin’s stories. From his crime fighting, secret service-like series, Sigma, to one off books where someone goes somewhere…
