The Diabolic by S. J. Kincaid

When it comes to science fiction novels, it is either a hit or a miss. There is no in between for me. I’m always eager to get my hands on a sci-fi novel but my expectations are always very high. I want a story that is unique and that will excite me in a way…

Crosstalk by Connie Willis

I like science fiction, but it has been a while since I’ve read anything in this genre. I’ve also never heard of Connie Willis, who is apparently quite well known in the science fiction world. This novel has been getting a lot of hype so I decided to check it out! In the not-so-distant future,…

The Girl From Venice by Martin Cruz Smith

Everyone knows the basic gist of World War II. There are countless heart-wrenching stories about the survivors and the soldiers who fought in this war. However, this story is unique in that it focuses on the Italians who were drawn into this war because of Mussolini. While I knew about Mussolini and his friendship with…

Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld

My first classic was Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, and I adored it. I still do. I didn’t really enjoy too many of the other novels by Jane Austen, but this one has always stayed with me. I am always interested in reading modern retellings of novels I love so I was very excited to…

The Good Daughter by Alexandra Burt

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I’ve been super excited for this novel and I was super happy to get it from NetGalley and the publishers. I always try to wait to read the book as close to the publishing date as possible, but this…

Usually, you find strong characters like this in fantasy novels. Often when I read realistic fiction or mystery/thriller, the women that are the main characters don’t come off as strong, but rather…

The Devourers by Indra Das

​So, I currently have no laptop. That’s right, my laptop isn’t working. So for now, I am using my little tablet to type my reviews. This means I’m a lot slower in writing and publishing my posts. Hopefully, my laptop won’t take too long to get fixed! Anyways, GoodReads recommended this novel to me based…

The Little Red Chairs by Edna O’Brien

The reason I’ve always liked historical fiction is that my own knowledge on historical events is pretty much nonexistent. Yes, I took history classes in high school but they barely taught me anything. And I definitely did not have the time to take a course in university that would provide me with more in-depth knowledge.…

Secrets of Greenoak Woods by Brenda Davies

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I don’t read many romance novels. It’s a genre that I have actively distanced myself from because …. well, I’ve had a lot of preconceived notions about it. I never really believed that romance novels tell a story on…
