The Fiery Cross – Review
BLURB: The year is 1771, and war is coming. Jamie Fraser’s wife tells him so. Little as he wishes to, he must believe it, for hers is a gift of dreadful prophecy—a time-traveler’s certain knowledge.

The Outsider – Review
BLURB: An unspeakable crime. A confounding investigation. At a time when the King brand has never been stronger, he has delivered one of his most unsettling and compulsively readable stories.

Oona Out of Order – Review
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.

My Brilliant Friend – Review
BLURB: A modern masterpiece from one of Italy’s most acclaimed authors, My Brilliant Friend is a rich, intense and generous hearted story about two friends, Elena and Lila.

A Fatal Grace – Review
2020 is slowly becoming the year of me finding my love of reading books in a series again. After reading (or listening) to Still Life not long ago, and feeling a bit lukewarm about the story as a whole, everyone who has read and loved this series told me to keep going. They said, “It…

Then She Was Gone – Review
Then She Was Gone was my first book by Lisa Jewell, and wow! I couldn’t believe how much I enjoyed it! I listened to this on audio and found myself looking for extra chores to keep me busy – always a sign of a great audiobook! I didn’t read the blurb prior to listening to…
The Only Plane in the Sky – Review
I can’t think of a better book to close out the decade than The Only Plane in the Sky. This is one of the most important books I’ve ever read, a book I think should be required reading for all Americans, especially the younger generations. BLURB: Over the past eighteen years, monumental literature has been…
Educated – Personal Story/Review
This will not be done in my traditional reviewing format. Tara’s book inspired deep feelings and reflection about my own life through the course of listening to her story through Overdrive. I was taken by surprise by this book. I was afraid it would be something I hated because I’m a homeschooling parent and live…
Fly Away – Review
(If you plan to read Firefly Lane, you may want to skip this review as it will contain spoilers.) Fly Away is the continuation of Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah and a resolution I didn’t know I needed. This series is coming to Netflix next year, so I wanted to be certain to finish the…

NOS4A2 – Review
I added the audio of NOS4A2 to my Overdrive holds list months ago, thanks to @whatmeganreads‘ excitement on Instagram. I can’t resist an exciting audiobook and Megan’s animation made me eager to check it out. I secretly hoped it would become available during the Fall/Halloween season and luck was with me! When I started listening…
Rebecca – Review
I always feel a little silly reviewing Classics since they have been around long before I was thought of and will continue to have a place in the world after I’m gone. My opinions are irrelevant, but I will share them anyway in the hopes of encouraging someone else to pick up this book. BLURB:…
The Life We Bury – Review
I remember seeing this book floating around on Goodreads for years after it was released. It even spent some time on my TBR before I attempted to limit books I needed to read. Despite being cut, it found its way back to my shelves with the help of Libro.fm‘s sale, and I’m glad it did….
Something in the Water – Review
Like many readers, I first learned of this book through Reese’s Bookclub, Hello Sunshine, and was hooked by the blurb. Thanks to Overdrive, I was able to listen to this audiobook narrated by the author herself. Catherine Steadman has a lovely reading voice, making it easy to get lost in the story. BLURB: If you…
