A Desperate Fortune by Susanna Kearsley

To be honest, I had actually forgotten about this book completely when I received the notification that it was available for me to read. I haven’t really prioritized it but I’ve finally finished it so here is my review. Sara Thomas is brilliant with ciphers and puzzles. Whenever she is stressed or upset, she finds…

At the Water’s Edge by Sara Gruen

After reading Water for Elephants, I was super excited to read this book! I had high expectations, especially since her previous novel had made such a strong impression on me. When Maggie and Ellis Hyde make a fool of themselves in front of all high society at a party in Philadelphia in 1942, it creates…

Orphan Train by Christina Baker Cline

I’ve been waiting so eagerly to read this book. The storyline just seemed so intriguing and I’ve been wanting to read a historical fiction book for a while now. Most of the ones I’ve read in this genre were on topics I was familiar with like WWII. This was my first step away from that…

The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman

I haven’t read a historical fiction in a while and I’ve heard a lot of good things about this author so I thought I would give it a try. It is 70 A.D. Jews are being persecuted by the Romans and are desperately looking for a place of refuge. For them, this is in the…

The Hypnotist’s Love Story by Liane Moriarty

After reading one book by this author, I simply had to try another. I wanted to see if the same style would be carried throughout in another story. Ellen is a hypnotherapist who is quite happy with her job. But now, she is looking for someone to share her life with. When she meets Patrick,…

Stardust by Neil Gaiman

I have always loved this author. The first book I ever read by him was Coraline and it was just fantastic. Since then, I’ve been hunting for everything and anything by him and so far, I have yet to be disappointed. I just recently found out that this book has been turned into a movie…

Lacy Eye by Jessica Treadway

I found the story line for this novel quite intriguing and I had to wait for quite a while to read it. It’s another psychological thriller novel (because I’m sure you’ve realized that I’m quite addicted to that genre). Anyways, here is my review. When Hanna and Joe send their youngest daughter, Dawn, off to…

Invasion of the Tearling by Erika Johansen

When I walked into the bookstore and saw this on the shelves, my heart stopped. I hadn’t expected the sequel to come out so quickly! I ended up getting my friend to buy the first book and this one and begged her to let me borrow it from her (which she kindly agreed to do).…

The Woods by Harlan Coben

So I loves this author so much that I rushed to get my hands on another book of his. And this was just as good as the last one! One summer camp night, Paul Copeland’s sister and 3 other teenagers went into the forest and disappeared. Twenty years later, he is still grieving for his…

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

Okay, I’m way too excited about this book to write an introduction so I’m just going to jump right in! In Omaha, the main goal of every teenager is to fit in. Park has always found that difficult to do. Being half-korean, half-irish in a school with no Asian students means you stick out a…
