I can't write books so I review them instead
Just recently, I watched the movie Arrival starring Amy Adams. It was such a thought-provoking movie and I loved every minute of it so much so that I rewatched it! It put me into the mood for something cerebral. I didn’t want to read something lighthearted, something that would give me a quick thrill and let…
Ever since I read Room, I have been a fan of this author’s work. I have been anxiously waiting for this novel to be released and I was lucky enough to find a copy as I was passing by my local library! I sat down and read this novel in one sitting, and if that…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I’ve been suffering from a flare-up of tendonitis in my wrists, which is why I haven’t posted as much recently. While I may be moving at a slower pace than usual, I’m hoping it won’t slow me down too…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I am fascinated by unsolved mysteries, and the Roanoke Colony is one of the biggest mysteries out there! Like many others, I’ve tried to read up on what information is available and the facts that are known are quite…
Before reading this novel, I had no idea of the historical significance of the Barbizon Hotel. Sure, I’ve heard about Sylvia Plath and Jaon Crawford, but I had no idea that they lived in a women’s-only hotel! This just made me more interested in reading this story (even though the story has nothing to do…

I’ve been very excited to read this novel. Ever since I read Wake of Vultures and Conspiracy of Ravens, I’ve become more interested in the idea of reading novels with an American West style. This novel presented me with the opportunity to explore this as well as just having a super interesting premise. Elka was rescued by…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. With my ever-expanding book list, I find it hard to keep up with deadlines, and have a healthy work balance. But what I’ve come to realize is that this has made me a better reader. It takes me less…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I had previously read The Ice Twins by this same author, and while I hadn’t loved that novel, I still thought it had been very well-written with a very interesting plot. I was quite excited to see how this new…
It has been a while since I have found myself unable to put a book down because it kept me on the edge of my seat. This is one of those books. After the number of thrillers I’ve read, I’m a lot more skeptical to positive reviews, especially since I usually don’t agree with those…
