I can't write books so I review them instead
HELLO EVERYONE!!! I AM BACK!!! Back in June, I made a post about deciding to go on a blog hiatus. I’ve got to admit, it was a very hard decision for me. I’ve been blogging for a few years, but it was only recently that I connected with other book bloggers. I’ve developed a wonderful…
So this should come as no surprise to many people, considering my lack of activity on my blog. To be honest, I feel really sad making this post. I have always loved blogging and writing up my book reviews. Having to admit that I need to go on a break really sucks. But I need…
I rarely ever read nonfiction books. But this one … well, it wasn’t one I could pass. An autobiography, the author explores her harrowing childhood journey in war-torn Rwanda. Thank you to the First to Read program for this eARC in exchange for my honest review. Summary (Goodreads): Clemantine Wamariya was six years old when…
I received this novel as an advance copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I looooove books that deal with doubts about a crime previously committed. I don’t know why but it is just my favourite thing to read! I was super excited to request this book and get it approved, so here…

Synopsis (Goodreads): Jojo is thirteen years old and trying to understand what it means to be a man. His mother, Leonie, is in constant conflict with herself and…
After seeing that this book was getting a lot of hype, I decided to give this one a go. I read The Couple Next Door and I recall not enjoying it. However, I wanted to give this author another shot. Here’s my review: Synopsis (Goodreads): Karen and Tom Krupp are happy—they’ve got a lovely home in upstate…
I can’t believe that it is already the end of the month! I still have a great deal of ARCs to get to, and many of them are January releases that I will only get to in February (oops) …. but they will definitely be done! There have been so many amazing novels that I’ve…
