And I Darken by Kiersten White

This book was given to me by NetGalley as an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. I love historical fiction and I love reading about places and historical figures that I don’t know much about. This novel gave me that opportunity. I don’t want to give it more of an introduction than that…

Orphan #8 by Kim van Alkemade

What drew me to this novel was that it is based on a true story. I love fiction and I will read pretty much any genre but when it comes to historical fiction, the more truth there is, the more I like it. The story line itself seemed quite intriguing, what with its gruesome portrayal…

Jane Steele by Lyndsay Faye

There are two things that immediately appealed to me about this novel: it had the most awesome cover design EVER (in my opinion, at least) and it was based on a classic novel, Jane Eyre. I love classics but Jane Eyre has always been one of my favorite novels and I have read it countless times. The…

The Second Mrs. Hockaday by Susan Rivers

This novel is an advanced copy that is being published by Algonquin books. Although its release date is not until January 2017, I couldn’t stop myself from reading this book at the earliest chance! And while this book won’t be available for a while, I strongly urge all of my readers to keep this novel…

Sawbones by Melissa Lenhardt

This is another novel that I had the pleasure of reading before its release. Every time a publisher accepts my request and sends me a copy of their book, it makes me feel so happy inside and I literally cannot wait to finish the novel and gush about it to all of my lovely blog…

Anna and the Swallow Man by Gavriel Savit

I can’t recall when I last read a historical fiction novel. When I was recommended this novel based on my love for The Book Thief, I was more than happy to give it a shot. I actually had to recommend it to my library because it hadn’t been bought yet. And then I had to…

The Incarnations by Susan Barker

I borrowed this novel on a whim. I have a bunch of books to read but I decided not to read them and to stick with this one instead. Don’t ask me why, I have no idea. I sat down and just went at it for a whole day. All I’m thinking now is how…

The End of Days by Jenny Erpenbeck

Recently, I’m having a bit of a “book rut”. What I mean by this is that I will start a book that I’ve been waiting to read and then become disinterested for no reason. A friend suggested that I choose a book that I wasn’t expecting to read and see if that helps me break…

A Madness So Discreet by Mindy McGinnis

Remember how I had mentioned that I had placed a bunch of books on hold in the hopes that they would become available during my Christmas break from school? Well, lucky for me, I got them all now. Two days before school starts. Hooray. I’m hoping you can sense the sarcasm here. Anyways, I’m going…

Midnight Never Come by Marie Brennan

I don’t remember where I saw this book, only that its premise was interesting enough for me to remember it and want to read it. I’ve been waiting for a bunch of books I’ve placed a hold on to become available (and it irks me that the one time I am free to read, I…
