Her by Harriet Lane

I read this book on a whim and finished it quite quickly. It felt like quite a short book and was a page-turner. Anyways, here is my review. Emma is a tired mother of a toddler who is expecting her second child. When she gave up her career as a news reporter to be a…

Orphan Train by Christina Baker Cline

I’ve been waiting so eagerly to read this book. The storyline just seemed so intriguing and I’ve been wanting to read a historical fiction book for a while now. Most of the ones I’ve read in this genre were on topics I was familiar with like WWII. This was my first step away from that…

The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman

I haven’t read a historical fiction in a while and I’ve heard a lot of good things about this author so I thought I would give it a try. It is 70 A.D. Jews are being persecuted by the Romans and are desperately looking for a place of refuge. For them, this is in the…

Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card

I remember seeing this book in my elementary school library. I would always pass by it because it looked boring or too “sci-fi” for my taste. Why did I choose to read it now? I don’t know. I guess I just felt like stepping out of my comfort zone. I’m glad I did. After having…

Half a Crown by Jo Walton

This is the final book in the trilogy and I must admit that I have thoroughly enjoyed the journey of “the world that could have been”. Carmichael is now the head of the Watch, an elite organization meant to ensure that the Prime Minister’s bidding is done. However, Carmichael has plans of his own. Unbeknownst…

The Hypnotist’s Love Story by Liane Moriarty

After reading one book by this author, I simply had to try another. I wanted to see if the same style would be carried throughout in another story. Ellen is a hypnotherapist who is quite happy with her job. But now, she is looking for someone to share her life with. When she meets Patrick,…

Lacy Eye by Jessica Treadway

I found the story line for this novel quite intriguing and I had to wait for quite a while to read it. It’s another psychological thriller novel (because I’m sure you’ve realized that I’m quite addicted to that genre). Anyways, here is my review. When Hanna and Joe send their youngest daughter, Dawn, off to…

The Forgotten Girl by Sara Blaedel

I was waiting for sooooo long for this murder mystery that I had almost forgotten about it. But after having read it, I can honestly say that it is one of the best books I’ve read this week! Louise Rick is an investigator who has signed up with a new division that handles all odd…

The Room by Jonas Karlsson

I still don’t know what exactly to write about this book. I had been waiting to read it for so long that when I actually read it, I found it to be nothing like what I expected. Anyways, here is my review. Bjorn is a meticulous worker, almost to the point of having OCD. He…

Invasion of the Tearling by Erika Johansen

When I walked into the bookstore and saw this on the shelves, my heart stopped. I hadn’t expected the sequel to come out so quickly! I ended up getting my friend to buy the first book and this one and begged her to let me borrow it from her (which she kindly agreed to do).…
