Somebody Else’s Sky NOTE: If you’ve yet to read Something in the Way by Jessica Hawkins, you may want to skip reading this review and start reading this epic love story. I’m going to do things a bit differently and review the final two books in the Something in the Way series in one post. I couldn’t be bothered…
The Wife Between Us – Review
Thanks to St. Martin’s Press and Netgalley for the chance to read and review this novel! Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen are about to be household names in the realm of powerhouse women authors. I’ve seen this book everywhere and it hasn’t even been published yet! Readers everywhere are hyped up and salivating for a…
Ten Below Zero – Review
I don’t have the slightest idea where to start with this book. It’s one of the greats that stole my words and left me with the most beautiful mess of emotions. When I pick up a novel, I read for experience, understanding, and emotion. Occasionally, I read to escape or venture to a different location. Ten…
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. I usually love books in a series more than standalones, simply because I get to spend more time with the characters I’ve grown attached to. I’ve often questioned people who complain about books in…
The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer – Review
I have wanted to read The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer for SIX years, people. Before I found Goodreads, before book blogging, before I owned a smartphone, and gasp…even before I knew what the letters TBR stood for. This length of time feels like an eternity in the book world. But alas, I have finally crossed this one…
A Monster Calls – Review
The lovely, Fettered Matriarch, reviewed A Monster Calls a few months ago, convincing me to read this short, illustrated novel. Kacy’s review was very persuasive, she and I are quite similar, and I knew I could take her recommendation and run with it. I’m so glad I did because this was a moving story. At 12:07 every night a…
Don’t Judge a Book by its Cover… or Title
We’ve all heard the age-old saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover,” more times than we can count. Obviously, we all know it means we could miss out on a beautiful story by judging a cover harshly. Yet, as the judgmental humans we are, this saying doesn’t deter us from skipping out on books…
The Rules of Rain – Review
Many thanks to Netgalley and SourceBooks for the chance to read and review this novel. Leah Scheier’s upcoming release Rules of Rain explores family relationships in one of the most interesting ways I’ve experienced as a reader. The main character, Rain, has grown accustomed to taking care of the needs of her family members, especially those of her…
Something in the Way – Review
I believe certain books come to us at the very time we need them in life. Sometimes we’re led to them, and it’s like the world is shouting at us “Stop everything you’re doing and read this book now!” Something in the Way was one of those books for me. First, my lovely friend, Kacy from Fettered Matriarch,…
Goodnight From London – Review
As book lovers, I think we can all agree not all 400 pages in every book we read are created equally. Sometimes I can fly through 400 pages in a day and other times it may take me a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, Goodnight from London was one of the latter. I felt as if I was…
The Ghostwriter – Review
Many thanks to Netgalley and Alessandra Torre for providing an ARC for review.I’m just going to come right out and say it — you need to buy this book! Right now. Only 12% of the books I read make it to my “favorites” shelf on Goodreads, and The Ghostwriter by Alessandra Torre immediately made the list. This is my…
13 Minutes – Review
Thank you to Flatiron Books and Netgalley for providing an ARC for review. Sarah Pinborough boasts two of my favorite things: she is a masterful writer and she’s British. When I saw the opportunity to read 13 Minutes, her upcoming American release, I knew I had to have it. I enjoy reading YA contemporary romance from…
Exits, Desires, & Slow Fires – Review
When the woman who made me love poetry releases a new collection, you better believe I’m all but foaming at the mouth to get a taste. Her words are among my favorites ever written. Just look at this cover, guys. We’re not supposed to get our hopes up based on an image, but after gazing…
Maybe in Another Life – Review
Do you know what direction your life is going? Do you feel as if you have a choice? Coincidentally, many of the books I’ve been picking up lately have featured a heroine in her late twenties still trying to get her life together. Is God trying to tell me something? Despite feeling this way myself…
Wish You Were Here – Review
I have been struggling to formulate my thoughts for this review after finishing it almost two weeks ago! Usually, I try to write my reviews as quickly as possible, but I have the strongest writer’s block for this book! This is a novel I went into completely blind. I didn’t know much about the story,…
Love & Gelato – Review
With the stress of the school year upon us, I was eager to read a cheerful and light book. Luckily, I found Love & Gelato for sale this month on Amazon Kindle for $1.99! At the same time, however, this book became available through my Overdrive app through my library. What luck! I love books…
A Man Called Ove – Review
I knew I’d love A Man Called Ove because I love cranky old men, perhaps that’s why I married one. 😉 I wish there were more people like Ove in the world. Maybe that sounds strange if you’ve read this book, but I firmly believe things would be better than they are today with more characters like him. This…
A Thousand Rooms – Review
A Thousand Rooms by Helen Jones begins with the end – the end of Katie’s life. When Katie accidentally steps off a curb while checking her text messages, she is hit by a car and killed. When she awakes, she finds her old body lying on the ground and her separated body and soul still dressed…
The Other Girl – Review
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and Netgalley for the chance to review The Other Girl! Erica Spindler can spin one heck of a story (pun intended)! This was a gripping page-turner I couldn’t put down. Miranda Radar is a detective for her local police department investigating an ugly crime of passion against a revered college…
Girl in Snow – Review
Heavy, complex, and deeply human. I’d like to thank Simon and Schuster Publishing and Netgalley for the chance to review Girl in Snow by Danya Kukafka. This novel was written with such a vivid realism that I felt as if I was intruding on the thoughts of the characters. At times, I found myself struggling to deal…
