REVIEW: Where’d You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 /5 This book was a refreshing change from the heavier, more “think-y” books that I’ve been into lately. There’s something about cooler weather that makes me change my taste in books – picking up a 500 page book doesn’t make me bat an eye the way thatContinue reading “REVIEW: WHERE’D YOU GO, BERNADETTE? by MARIA SEMPLE”

REVIEW: The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 I’m the first to admit that I’m pretty hard to please when it comes to a thriller. Even if I don’t see a twist coming, they rarely surprise me because I tend to think the worst of people and expect every character to secretly beContinue reading “REVIEW: THE LAST TIME I LIED by RILEY SAGER”

REVIEW: The Dinner List by Rebecca Serle ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 This book was a solid three stars for me. I saw so many positive, five star reviews for this one! I wanted to love it so bad, but ended up feeling like it was entertaining but forgettable. Here were the positives for me: the chapters were shortContinue reading “REVIEW: THE DINNER LIST by REBECCA SERLE”

REVIEW: “Sadie” by Courtney Summers ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 This uniquely crafted, heart-wrenching psychological thriller pulled me in from the very beginning. Y’all know how much I love true crime podcasts – and THERE IS A (fictional) TRUE CRIME POD INCORPORATED INTO THE BOOK! I felt like I could hear the narrators voices, experience the anguish the charactersContinue reading “REVIEW: SADIE by COURTNEY SUMMERS”

Thank you to Netgalley for a free advanced copy of this title in exchange for an honest review. Phew! This was dark, twisty, and gripping. Told from two perspectives, the story reminded me of a snowball – starting small but growing and gaining momentum as I turned the pages. Finally, the snowball flew off aContinue reading “REVIEW: An ANONYMOUS GIRL by GREER HENDRICKS and SARAH PEKKANEN”

** spoiler alert ** I read Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell years ago and I don’t remember much about it except that I loved it. I went into Fangirl hoping I would get another Eleanor & Park – a story that captivated me and had me up ate at night to finish it. Sadly,Continue reading “REVIEW: FANGIRL by RAINBOW ROWELL”

If I had the time, I would’ve read this book in one sitting. But, alas, I have responsibilities (being an adult can be rough), so it took me a little under a week to get through it. Now that I’ve finished the book, Delia Owens has made me a believer: a believer in her work,Continue reading “REVIEW: WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING by DELIA OWENS”

REVIEW: “The Rosie Project” by Graeme Simsion ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 I don’t think I’ve ever been as amused with a character as I was with Don Tillman! He’s so methodical, so rational, and so brazenly unique – and he doesn’t care what anyone thinks. He eats the same thing each week (and has done calculations to ensureContinue reading “REVIEW: THE ROSIE PROJECT by GRAEME SIMSION”

REVIEW: “Lies” by T.M. Logan: 4 out of 5 stars This book was exactly what I needed – it was fast paced, twisty, and full of surprises that kept me on my toes until the very last page! My favorite traits of this book were the short chapters with cliffhanger ending paragraphs. I found myselfContinue reading “REVIEW: LIES by TM LOGAN”
