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”

The Secret, Book & Scone Society

ADVANCE APOLOGIES FOR THE LONG RANT POST- Lots to unpack…if you don’t want to read the full review, scroll to the last paragraph to see why I gave this 2 stars! I so badly wanted to like this book. The ‘cozy mystery’ genre is one that I have recently discovered and occasionally use to cleanseContinue reading “The Secret, Book & Scone Society”

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

This book has intrigued me for the past several years. I’ve never gotten around to actually adding it to my “want to read” list, since I had never really bothered to learn too much about it. However, my local library had it available as an audiobook, so I started listening to it during work/chores. TheContinue reading “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”

The Crown: Season 1

Pre-COVID, I had tried to get into The Crown and couldn’t get past the second episode. Something about it didn’t speak to me or wow me at all. During COVID I decided to give the show another shot and I’m so glad I did! The first season of the show walks the audience through theContinue reading “The Crown: Season 1”

Peter Pan

Forget what Disney told you about the story of Peter Pan – the differences between this book and the movie are astounding. I picked this up curious to read the story behind the movie I had grown up watching, expecting it to be different than the Disney film, but not as drastically different as itContinue reading “Peter Pan”

Here I Go Again

Throughout my life, I’ve started several different book blogs. Every single time, I lose track of the log-in (these were pre-Google Passwords days) or I give up on maintaining it. This time, I’m committed. This world has grown to be too insane for me to want to deal with on a day-to-day basis anymore, soContinue reading “Here I Go Again”
