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…

THE ONLY ONE LEFT BY RILEY SAGER
Let’s start this review off by saying, I’m a Riley Sager mega fan. Now, let’s talk book. If I had to describe this book in one word the answer would be ‘messy’. The overall plot… messy. The ‘setups’ to try to confuse the reader were … silly, coincidental and unbelievable. There were so many holes…

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…

The first book was co-written by King and Chizmar. King started it, couldn’t finish and then let Chizmar work through it. The second book is written…

BEAUTIFUL WORLD, WHERE ARE YOU BY: SALLY ROONEY
I can already hear all the critics praising this profound novel and then I think … did they even read it? I will admit I did not read Normal People but I did watch the Hulu adaptation of it and found it was enjoyable. I now see how Rooney was able to make a series out of her books.…

Tom Lake By: Ann Patchett
Absolutely beautiful book about a mother telling her children about a love interest turned great movie star. You can’t say this book isn’t well written. It is. It’s beautiful. I found real peace while reading and even though winter is hitting us now, I longed for the warmth of the Michigan summers. The idea of…
