BLURB:Revenge is an euphoric thing. Trust me on this. Nothing compares to the release you get when you ruin someone’s life. When they’ve stolen important things. Things that didn’t belong to them. Things I revel in making them pay for. What? Have I offended you? I’m not here to appeal to your delicate senses. I…

Do You Trust Book Reviews?
Much of my reading over the past year has been influenced by #bookstagram, the beautiful bookish corner of Instagram our likeminded friends hang out on. In the past couple of years, publishers have caught on to how beneficial bookstagram can be for new releases and have helped turn the hygge vibes into influencer and book…
You Were There Too – Review
I couldn’t put You Were There Too by Colleen Oakley down this weekend. I’m completely drawn to the idea of prophetic dreams or telepathic dreams, having experienced some unexplainable ones myself. It was interesting to see the author’s take on it, which gave this story a bit of a magical realism feel. I’ve been anxious…

How to Walk Away – Review
After reading (and LOVING) Things You Save in a Fire on vacation this summer, I absolutely had to get my hands on How to Walk Away. Katherine Center’s writing is so incredible that everyone on Bookstagram is eagerly reading her backlist. The #FOMO is real! BLURB: Margaret Jacobsen has a bright future ahead of her: a fiancé…
July Recap + August TBR
Hi friends! I hope everyone has been having a great summer. This month has been especially great because we spent twelve days in Colorado, hiking and enjoying Denver and the surrounding areas. It was a much-needed getaway from normal life. We also made the trip to my hometown in East Texas for a couple of…
Lock Every Door – Review
Many thanks to Dutton Books and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. Despite the bookstagram hype surrounding his books, Lock Every Door was my first Riley Sager novel and I’m happy to report it hooked me from the very first chapter. I prefer to go into books blind, but one review caught…
Digital Minimalism – Review
The moment I saw the cover for this book, I knew I had to pick it up. I often find myself overwhelmed by technology. While others seem at ease holding a conversation, scheduling an Uber, and texting 3 different friends, my mind struggles to keep up with one task at a time. I feel strained…
Ugly Instagram
Behind the pretty pictures, there is plenty of ugliness happening behind the scenes and screens of Instagram. Yesterday I experienced some of the most despicable behavior I’ve ever witnessed on social media. Our bookstagram community has changed recently, becoming more like the rest of the internet, less inclusive and more about competition than ever before….
I’ll Be Gone in the Dark – Review
I’ll Be Gone in the Dark is not my normal read, but after witnessing the shock and awe on Instagram, I decided I wanted to listen to this audiobook immediately. I went into this novel completely blind. I didn’t have any prior knowledge about The Golden State Killer, so I was listening to this book…
