The Girl Before I wasn’t sure what to expect heading into this novel, having forgone the reading of the blurb. I added this novel to my TBR some time ago based on several rave reviews shortly after it’s release. I do love a good Thriller. My latest obsession has become audiobooks! My productivity has improved…
The Great Alone – Review
Much like Alaska itself: alone at the top of the world, beautifully majestic, The Great Alone stands far above the rest in the book world. It probably seems like I’m giving everything outstanding reviews lately, but I’ve been really lucky to read incredible books this year. I’m actually thankful to know my constant reading hasn’t made me…
All Your Perfects – Review
How to review a Colleen Hoover book: write, erase, repeat until you’re a basket case. Why? Because nothing I say about Colleen’s writing will ever properly convey my feelings about her books. Lucky for her, my reviews have no merit (ha!) on her success. Colleen doesn’t need us to sell her books, she barely needs…
Pieces of Eight – Review
I’ve taken days to write this review because I simply don’t know what to say about this book. We’re not even halfway through the year yet, and I’ve already read so many amazing novels. I honestly am scared about making a list of favorites at the end of the year! Whitney Barbetti’s Mad Love Duet is without…
Waterfall Effect – Review
I was lucky enough to meet my birthday buddy, K.K. Allen, in February at Holidays with the Belles in Dallas. At the time I still hadn’t read any of K.K’s books yet, despite her sitting on my TBR list for over two years (sorry!). After meeting and LOVING her, I figured it was time to…
Love & Luck – Review
Many thanks to Simon Pulse / Simon and Schuster for the chance to read and review this novel early. I’m all for poor man’s traveling, also known as reading about teenagers traipsing around the Irish countryside. When I read Love & Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch last year, I was already excited about this book, knowing it…
Six Feet Under – Review
Oh, my heart. I’m not even halfway through this book at the moment of writing this, but I had to stop and quickly jot down thoughts before I’ve forgotten them. This book explains the substance of our feelings as humans. The main thing all of us want is to be loved unconditionally, to know no…
Legendary – Review
Thank you to Flatiron Books for the chance to read and review this novel. After reading Caraval not long ago, I was ecstatic to see Legendary available on Netgalley. Though Caraval didn’t quite live up to the hype for me, I was still anxious to continue with the series and hopefully be able to find out just who the mysterious Legend…
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 suppose I should state the obvious, I absolutely loved this book and it has become an instant favorite. I’m a huge fan of time-travel stories, many of my favorite books and movies are centered around this…
Up in the Treehouse – Review
Oh, you guys, I knew this was going to happen. I knew I was going to curse myself for waiting so long to read Up in the Treehouse by the lovely K.K. Allen. This book has been sitting on my TBR from practically the moment it released, and why? Because I’m a dumb procrastinator. Give me ALL…
In The Gray – Review
I love supporting Indie authors, especially authors who were inspired to write books by my favorite authors! A.D. McCammon is one of the authors I have followed for a long time, but have failed to pick up books by. Through Kat Savage‘s reader group, I was lucky enough to score a copy of McCammon’s upcoming release, In…
Caraval – Review
Like many of us, I bought Caraval because I kept seeing it everywhere and the cover is just SO pretty! It makes me happy to look at it. Much like the cover, the wonderful world of Caraval was whimsical and enchanting, feeling like a modern fairytale. The first half of this story was full of exciting potential…
Such Dark Things – Review
My gosh, this novel was a wild ride! It was like a train wreck I couldn’t look away from. After my friend, Talon, reviewed this novel at Under the Cover Book Blog, I couldn’t wait to start reading. Basically, if Talon gives five stars to a book I know it is bound to be a great read….
Thorn in My Heart – Review
I have been recommended Thorn in My Heart, the first book in the Lowlands of Scotland series, several times in the past couple of years. When I seem to forget about it, it comes up in conversation again. Finally, I decided to grab it from my library during Spring Break and start on this retelling of Jacob, Rachel,…
The Room on Rue Amelie – Review
Many thanks to Gallery Books and Netgalley for the chance to read and review this novel. By now many of you may know how much I love World War II Historical Fiction. There’s something about this period in history I find incredibly captivating. Each story is so immersive in the human experience, offering some form…
The Idea of You – Review
Well, y’all, I joined the bandwagon. I read The Idea of You after numerous suggestions from practically everyone in the book community, at least in my little Romance neck of the woods. After reading, I can see why so many women love this story, but I can’t say it appealed to me in the same way. Sure,…
Gods of Howl Mountain – Review
Many thanks to St. Martin’s Press and Netgalley for the chance to read and review this novel. Gods of Howl Mountain has a lot of things going for it. I was drawn to this unique and beautiful cover, the Southern setting, and the subject matter. One of my best-loved movies is Lawless, featuring Tom Hardy and Shia…
Kiss Me Like You Mean It – Review
Everything about this book makes me excited. The cover, the story, the setting(s) – J.R. Rogue knocked it out of the park with her third novel. This is not your typical love story. It’s raw, revealing, and you may find your heart snagging on some of the shattered dreams inside. Nevertheless, the best books are…
Weightless – Review
I have had Weightless on my Kindle for over a year, and on my TBR even longer. Everyone raves about Kandi Steiner’s books in the Romance world, and I knew it was time to get on board, especially after meeting her in person at Holidays with the Belles. Kandi was ridiculously awesome and gracious! After enjoying Weightless as much as…
The Broken Girls – Review
Thank you to Berkley Publishing and Netgalley for the chance to read and review this novel. The Broken Girls is everywhere on social media right now as one of this month’s Book of the Month choices, and definitely seems a worthy pick. This book has been beckoning me since November when I was approved to read it on Netgalley,…
