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”

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”
Fool Me Once
The plot of this book is very intriguing – a woman buries her murdered husband and sees him on a video camera soon after his funeral. Overall, it was an entertaining-enough book for me to revisit throughout the course of the week it took me to read. It was a quick read all said andContinue reading “Fool Me Once”
The Moon, the Stars, and Madame Burova
What a thoroughly enjoyable novel. I typically stick to mysteries revolving around a type of crime that has been committed (i.e. a murder, disappearance, etc.). Even the “cozy” mysteries I choose to read follow the same premise as a non-cozy mystery that I tend to gravitate toward. Despite not having any crime (well, one possibleContinue reading “The Moon, the Stars, and Madame Burova”
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”
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”
Ready Player One
When I saw the movie “Ready Player One”, I had no idea it was based on a book. I enjoyed the movie and it’s in my “would watch again” pile. When the book came across my suggested reads on Goodreads a few weeks ago, I added it to my want-to-read pile…then I had the luckContinue reading “Ready Player One”
