Margarita Montimore blew my mind with this inventive look at time-traveling! I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book for the concept alone. To my delight, BookSparks and MacMillan allowed the Book Sharks a chance at free audiobooks through Libro.fm during this unprecedented time in our world, and I absolutely couldn’t resist Oona!…

The Institute – Review
One of the perks of being the biggest reader in my small town is first dibs on the new books at the library. I’m not an avid Stephen King reader, in fact, this was only my third book by the King, but the synopsis sounded so intriguing, I couldn’t pass it up. BLURB: In the…

What the Wind Knows – Review
What a delight, to begin the year with one of my most anticipated reads of 2019, by one of my favorite authors of all. Every Amy Harmon book leaves me in awe – completely astonished by the gifts she was endowed with, the feelings she’s able to put into language my brain does not possess….
364 Days a Year – Review
Many thanks to Sarah Riad for the chance to read this novel early! 364 Days a Year is one of my favorite kinds of books to read. It offered a unique storyline, well-done characters, and was a young-adult novel I would feel excited to have my daughter read someday. The blurb caught my attention and…

My first Calia Read book was a hit! First of all, I just have to brag on this woman because I think I might have a crush on her. 😉 I had the privilege of chatting with her on Instagram while I was reading this book and she was incredibly nice and personable. I’ve always been amazed…
11/22/63 – Review
For a book as intricate and deeply plotted as 11/22/63, I’m not sure where I should begin with my review.

I’m a huge fan of time-travel stories, many of my favorite books and movies are centered around this…
The Evolution of Mara Dyer – Review
If you haven’t read The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer yet, you may want to skip this review to avoid potential spoilers.

My Name is Memory – Review
Do you know what may be the best thing in modern society? Logging off Facebook and using every moment you would pick up your phone, to pick up a book instead. Not an e-reader, a real book. The solitude and quiet resetting of myself has been much-needed and so welcomed. Let’s be honest, I already…
