Happy Sunday! *Cue the “Guess Who’s Back” verse in that one Eminem song* Yes, yes, I know it’s been a while. October was crazy busy—I moved, got married, started job hunting—I haven’t had time to read, let alone come up with and then produce content for this blog. It’s been a crazy month. But I’m … Continue reading Review: MEXICAN GOTHIC
Hello, hello! Happy Wednesday! I’ve been MIA for a few days while I was in RI finishing up some wedding prep and grabbing the last of my things before we move tomorrow (eek). I’d planned to post some book reviews while I was away but, shocking to absolutely no one, I didn’t have time to … Continue reading September Wrap Up
BIRD BOX was frightening in a way that kept me on the edge of my seat from page one to the end. MALORIE, on the other hand, didn’t have that same level of suspense, of creepiness.
This book masterfully incorporates biology and frightening body horror into Margot’s coming of age story. The twist hits you like a gut punch. Those last five or so chapters will haunt me for weeks to come, I’m sure.
Happy Sunday! The weather is insanely hot in my town this week and I have been melting, instead of reading. I know, I know, I run a blog that’s primarily centered on books so I should really be on top of this sort of thing, right? Wrong. It’s hot. All I can focus on is … Continue reading Review: GIRL, WASH YOUR FACE
Happy Thursday! I’ve spent the majority of today thinking it was Wednesday, so this post is going up a little later than I’d hoped. Time isn’t real anymore, am I right? I mean, we are still in the middle of a global pandemic, so it’s justified. Which reminds me, here’s your periodic reminder to wear … Continue reading Review: CHILDREN OF BLOOD AND BONE
Happy Friday friends! Today I’m reviewing the twelfth book in Tasha Alexander’s Lady Emily series, DEATH IN ST. PETERSBURG. We’re so close to finishing this review series, I almost can’t believe it! As long as I stick to my schedule (which is easier said than done, lol) we’ll be done around the middle of June. … Continue reading Review: DEATH IN ST. PETERSBURG (Lady Emily #12)
Happy Tuesday! Today I’m taking a little break from my Lady Emily review series to talk about another book I read recently: REBECCA by Daphne du Maurier. This is a classic novel, but shockingly, I’d never heard of it before. My soon-to-be sister-in-law turned me on to it, as she does with most of the … Continue reading Review: REBECCA
Hello, hello! Back again with another Lady Emily review! We are chugging along and I swear, I’m almost done with this review series. I will be taking a break soon to share a review for a different book, but for now, we get to revisit our favorite Victorian sleuth, Lady Emily Hargreaves. Today, I’m reviewing … Continue reading Review: A TERRIBLE BEAUTY (Lady Emily #11)
Hello, hello! I am back, after another accidental hiatus. Things have been crazy, what with everything going on in the world. I spent the last half of March in Maryland before returning to Rhode Island, where I had to quarantine for two weeks. From there on out, I've just been trying to get by. I’m … Continue reading Review: THAT SILENT NIGHT: A Lady Emily Christmas Story (Lady Emily #10.5)
