I can't write books so I review them instead
Thank you to Penguin Random House and their First to Read program for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. I’m not a big fan of historical fiction and if you go through my blog, you will see that I haven’t read very many books from this genre. I always feel a bit guilty…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Sawbones, the first book in this series, was one of my first forays into the Western genre. And I really liked it. The story was good, the theme was good, nothing felt overdone… it was just a great experience…
It’s been a while since I read Omens by this author but I really enjoyed that foray into urban fantasy. I hadn’t planned on waiting so long to read the sequel but … life … happens. Anyways, I finally got around to it so here is my review: In Omens, Olivia Taylor-Jones discovers that she is…
The Tempest is one of my favorite plays by Shakespeare. Something about the story and the magic always captured my interest, and I relish any chance to get back into that world. It’s one of the reasons that I love reading retellings of it, and so I was glad to hear of this one. Here…

What intrigued me about this book is that it was projected to be an uplifting novel that is set in the time of WWII. You don’t come across that often. Most historical fiction novels set during this time period are distressing, and focused on the horrors inflicted on people by the Nazis. While this novel…
You can tell based on my blog posts that I don’t read a lot of chick lit. I don’t have anything against the genre but I tend to always pick dystopian novels or mysteries or fantasies. Chick lit, while not being a genre that I avoid, isn’t one that I seek. However, after reading Sophie…
My friend recommended I try a book by Amanda Quick, an author whose work I have never read. I was happy to get the opportunity to read this novel through the First to Read program created by Penguin Random House so thank you to the author and publishers for giving me the opportunity! If you…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Although I’ve been meaning to get a lot of reading done this week, I have literally had no time. I’ve had so many deadlines for my classes and experiments to conduct in my lab that I have just been…
