I can't write books so I review them instead
This novel is part of the Hogarth Shakespeare project, where bestselling novelists take one of Shakespeare’s works and retell it in their own way. I recently read Hag-Seed by Margaret Atwood (see link here: https://veereading.wordpress.com/2017/01/05/hag-seed-by-margaret-atwood) and was floored by the retold version. This made me more eager to get into this Hogarth Shakespeare project and read other…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Dance is a big part of my life. I have been learning Indian Classical forms of dance since I was 4 years old and I still dance today. At one point in my life, I was just doing it…
Lately, there have been a lot of YA fiction that has caught my eye. There are times when I go through a phase where all I read are YA novels, or only adult fiction. I’ve tried to stay away from that and read some of everything, but this also means that I don’t always get…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Based on the books that I review on this blog, it’s obvious that I love science fiction. I’m always looking for something new, a story that doesn’t resemble everything that is out there. Well, this author definitely gave me…

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. There was a time when I used to love chick lit. I mean, Sophie Kinsella was my go-to author and I loved the Shopaholic series with a passion. I don’t recall when I decided to move on from that…
I gave this novel to myself as a Christmas present because I read the premise before it was ever released and decided right then and there to go for it and give it a shot. I knew I would be increasing my book-reading burden but I was way too excited to care. Last night, when…
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…
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…
