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”
Cinder
I’ll be honest, I’m really behind on reading (life’s been insane lately), so I’m writing about one of my go-to novels today. Cinder is the first of the Lunar Chronicles and is a re-imagined twist on the classic fairy tale, Cinderella. I LOVE this book. Cinderella was always one of my favorite Disney movies/characters, butContinue reading “Cinder”
The Picture of Dorian Gray
When I picked this book up, I thought I knew the story…man obtains a portrait that ages for him. The end. Nothing more. Man, I couldn’t have been more wrong. Wilde uses his novel to explore social hierarchy and pick apart that which society deems important (both at his time and arguably, today) – physicalContinue reading “The Picture of Dorian Gray”
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”
