The Heart Goes Last by Margaret Atwood

Let me start off by saying that I am a big fan of Margaret Atwood. The first book I ever read was The Handmaid’s Tale when I was 14 years old and it made such a strong impression on me that I devoured any and every book written by her. I’ve been waiting to read…

Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer

I decided to take a foray into the land of science fiction this time and of course that meant choosing the newest prize winning book I could find! After hearing a lot of things about how revolutionary and amazing this novel was, I simply had to try it. This novel starts off with expedition 12…

Fahrenheit 451

I actually had the audio book for this story and I feel like that may have affected my perception of it a little but I don’t think it made too much of a big impact so it should be okay. This book is about a fireman named Guy Montag who lives in a society where…
