Crossings

I actually finished this book several months ago, but have been debating on how to write this review. This was by far my favorite book that I read during 2021. It is one of those books that has really stuck with me and I tell all of my friends and family about when someone asksContinue reading “Crossings”

The Fiery Cross

Boy, was this book a beast. The Fiery Cross is the 5th book in the Outlander series, and if you haven’t read the previous 4 books, DO NOT READ THIS YET. Gabaldon’s writing is incredible. She does an amazing job at making the story and characters come to life. However, I almost gave up onContinue reading “The Fiery Cross”

Ready Player Two

If you follow me on goodreads, you’ll notice that I gave this a 4/5 on there. After having about a week to ruminate on the ending of the book, I’ve dropped my rating down half a star. While not quite as exciting/engaging as Ready Player One, I still really enjoyed this book. Wil Wheaton doesContinue reading “Ready Player Two”

The Wicked Widow

Wow. Just…wow. I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this book through a goodreads giveaway. This is the third book in The Wicked City series by Williams. I will start with this – if you haven’t read The Wicked City and The Wicked Readhead prior to this one, that is an absolute must.Continue reading “The Wicked Widow”

Skeletons in the Attic: A Marketville Mystery

Skeletons in the Attic follows the storyline of Callie’s investigation into her past after her father passes away suddenly and leaves a note telling Callie that her mother was murdered when Callie was a child. The concept of this book was intriguing. Initially, there were a lot of twists and turns that kept me flippingContinue reading “Skeletons in the Attic: A Marketville Mystery”

To Have or to Hoax

“He knew that she knew. Or rather, he knew that she knew that he knew. It was enough to give any man a headache, truly.” To Have and to Hoax is predictably loveable and entertaining. The storyline is essentially written out in the summary of the book, and it naturally follows the stereotypical “man andContinue reading “To Have or to Hoax”

The Wicked Redhead

This is the second installment in the Wicked City series by Williams. I’ve read that the majority of her books are written to be in series but you don’t have to read the series to understand each book – that’s NOT the case with this series. I enjoyed this book a lot more than TheContinue reading “The Wicked Redhead”

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

Wow. When I first opened this book, I couldn’t figure out how this pathetic, woe-is-me, weak, yet slightly likeable character ever turned in to the horrid, evil, awful President Snow in the original Hunger Games trilogy. This book follows the story of young Criolanus Snow mentoring the District 12 girl in the 10th Hunger GamesContinue reading “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes”

The Wicked City

Yes. That’s right. This book received a 3.75/5 stars. This was the first book I’ve ever read by Beatriz Willaims, but certainly not the last. I enjoyed her style of writing, which was descriptive, but not overly so. The two main characters, Ella and Gin, had depth and the idea of a dual storyline wasContinue reading “The Wicked City”
