I can't write books so I review them instead
I’ve always been eager to read books that are written by an author whose first language is not English. Usually, these authors are from countries that are very different than where I live and what I am accustomed to, so I like to see how their cultural setting influences their writing. Of course, then comes…
Thank you to Penguin Random House and the First to Read program for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. Every time I see a book with “Girl” in the title, it makes me cringe. There have been so many of them and I know there will be more still. And it’s not like…
When I first heard about this book, I had my doubts. The story sounded interesting but I worried that it would fall into the trap that a lot of fantasy stories based on fairy-tales get into. I am so glad that I chose to read this book anyways, because it was absolutely fantastic! At the…
It may have seemed as if I had forgotten about this book series… but I did not! As I mentioned previously, I have just had zero time for myself and that has led to a decline in my reading time, but I am working fast to make up for it. So without further ado, here…
It’s been a while since I’ve read a classic historical fiction crime novel. I’ve heard about this author’s work but I’ve never had the pleasure of reading anything by her, so I thought this would be a good time to accomplish both goals. Here is my review: It’s 1919 and the village of Wenfield is…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I wish people would stop comparing every psychological thriller to Gone Girl. I am getting quite tired of hearing of so many novels being “perfect for fans of Gone Girl” and I’m saying this because it is unfair to the author…
I’ve had my eye out for this novel for a while now. It was on a list of anticipated bestsellers before its release and after reading the premise, I was quite interested in giving it a shot. This novel is not my usual style but it had gotten so much advance praise that I couldn’t…
Ah, the lovely genre of detective fiction and mystery! I love getting the chance to solve a crime, and what better way to do it than in a good mystery novel? When I first began reading this novel, I had no idea it was in a series. That would probably have been helpful as I…
This is an advance copy given to me by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review! Somehow, I always come back to the thrillers. I just love how I get to follow through with the craziness of the situation, how my heart begins to beat faster the closer the story gets to the big reveal,…
Now that school has started, I’m probably going to slow down on the blogging. Believe me when I say that this makes me really sad. But the thing is I have so many books to read for my own courses that I don’t know if I can handle writing more than biweekly – and that…
