Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward

I don’t read a lot of literary fiction. But when I do, I know I’m in for a thought-provoking read. This novel did not disappoint in that regard. 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…

Resist by Tracy Lawson – Resistance #2

Thank you to the author for providing me with an audio copy of this book. My opinions are my own. After really enjoying my experience with an audio book, I was happy to continue with this series in the same format. In my review of Counteract by Tracy Lawson, I mentioned that this was a…

Counteract by Tracy Lawson – Resistance #1

I received this novel as a copy from the author in exchange for my honest review. Not only is this novel the first book I finished for February, it is also my very first audiobook. I’ve never found myself able to get into listening to an audio book. Somehow, I end up zoning out and…

Into the Water by Paula Hawkins

When I read The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins, I wasn’t blown away.

Here is my review: Professor Theo Cray is a computational biologist who uses computer programs…

The Wages of Sin by Kaite Welsh

I heard about this book when it first came out in March and added it to by TBR list. I really liked the idea of reading from the perspective of a female medical student from the 1890s, a very unheard of phenomenon back in the day. I also just love a good historical murder mystery.…

The Party By Robyn Harding

This novel has been on all the trending reading lists. I really wanted to know what the hype was about. There’s been a trend in stories that talk about parties going wrong, but this one seemed unique in that it was not just told from the perspectives of adults but also from teens. Here is…

A Good Idea by Cristina Moracho

I’ve read many adult thrillers but not too many that are in the realm of teen fiction. I thought it would be interesting to see how the author takes this genre and makes it appropriate for this age group. Here is my review: Fin and Betty have been best friends for longer than they can…
