If you want to read the spoiler, highlight between the two ♈ symbols. For those using the WP Reader: the text between the two symbols won't be hidden - so if you don't want the story to be spoiled, look away when you get to the ♈ symbols. This is one of my holdovers from 2018 … Continue reading Five Feet Apart by Rachael Lippincott, Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis (Spoilers)

The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden (No Spoilers)
What a way to start off 2019! I should preface this review by saying that this is the second time that I've read this book. For whatever reason (I think I just got swamped) the first time I read it, I didn't do a review on here. One of my reading goals in 2019 is … Continue reading The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden (No Spoilers)
The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson (Spoilers)
I'm definitely not a scary books or movies kind of person. A lot of my reading is more lighthearted and serves as an escape from the harsh realities of day to day life. I don't know what kind of magic is associated with Halloween, but it's strong enough to make even me want to watch … Continue reading The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson (Spoilers)
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
So, I finally got around to this gem, and let me tell you, this book deserves all the hype. I bought this book when it first came out in 2017 and it got buried among all of the other books floating around my house that I buy and never end up reading. But my … Continue reading The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
Wraith by Helen Harper (No Spoilers)
This was a great little book. It was only 276 pages long but it was a quick, fun read. And as a bonus, it was available (at the time that I downloaded it) on Kindle Unlimited. Wraith introduces us to Saiya who is our title Wraith. Saiya can detach her shadow and send it on missions, … Continue reading Wraith by Helen Harper (No Spoilers)
Firstlife by Gena Showalter (No Spoilers)
Well, I was totally right about how many books I would finish while in the land of no internet and no cell service. I finished five books - three of which were over 400 pages long, one of which was in the 600 page range. One of them was a reread (I wanted to remember … Continue reading Firstlife by Gena Showalter (No Spoilers)
The Hundredth Queen by Emily R. King (No Spoilers)
So I'm trying to get all my reviews squared away before we head off for the Thanksgiving holiday, because I know I'll finish at least 3 books while I'm away. My aunt has no cell service and no wifi where she lives so aside from watching television, which I hardly do when I'm at home … Continue reading The Hundredth Queen by Emily R. King (No Spoilers)
The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco (No Spoilers)
Two small little tangents before I jump in to this review: (1) it was recently brought to my attention that if you read any of my reviews from the WordPress Reader, rather than going to my actual page, the spoilers that I hide between the two little ♈ symbols that I always use to indicate a spoiler … Continue reading The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco (No Spoilers)
A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard
This came up in my Reading Between the Wines book club for the month of November (I know, I finished it way earlier than I normally finish book club books). And I think I might have mentioned this before (The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls), but rating memoirs and biographies is hard. How do you … Continue reading A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard
The Masked City by Genevieve Cogman (No Spoilers)
Well, I didn't mean to finish this book next, but....here we are. I actually started drafting two other posts for the two other books that I'm reading, and doesn't it just figure that the one I finish reading next is one that I haven't even started drafting...? But I guess that just goes to show … Continue reading The Masked City by Genevieve Cogman (No Spoilers)
