For once, I'm kind of at a loss as to what rating I want to give a book. This book was a journey. It was sometimes confusing, mostly interesting, and definitely busy. There are 12 different perspectives in this book, so keeping them all straight can kind of make you feel like you're reading a … Continue reading There There by Tommy Orange (No 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
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 Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman (No Spoilers)
As I'm sure many of you are aware, Goodreads currently has the voting open for their 10th Annual Goodreads Choice Awards for 2018. While most of you probably vote for all of the books that were your favorites throughout the year, I am TERRIBLE at reading books the year they come out. I tend to … Continue reading The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman (No Spoilers)
The Body Counter by Anne Frasier (No Spoilers)
In case you missed it, The Body Reader by Anne Frasier was my second post on this blog. I enjoyed that book so much (4 Flame rating) that Jude Fontaine was dubbed my very first Fiery Female! After a little over a year, I came across the second installment in the Jude Fontaine Mysteries series (because I … Continue reading The Body Counter by Anne Frasier (No Spoilers)
The Husband’s Secret by Liane Moriarty (Spoilers)
Well, I ended up taking an unplanned break from blogging for a bit. Like 5 months. Whoops. I was still reading and all that jazz, just not posting. But I've missed it, so I've decided to finally jump back in with one of my RBTW book club picks for the month of May. And wow, … Continue reading The Husband’s Secret by Liane Moriarty (Spoilers)
Play Dead by Anne Frasier
I know you guys are probably pretty tired of hearing me sing the praises of Goodreads Deals, or just mentioning them in every. single. post. But some of us are on a budget, so I appreciate the fact that Goodreads is appealing to my thriftiness. Anyway, this book came up in an e-mail from Goodreads … Continue reading Play Dead by Anne Frasier
Fire by Kristin Cashore
So Fire is the second book in the Graceling series by Kristin Cashore, but it really is more of a prequel than a sequel. Which is kind of disappointing. I was so excited to pick this book up and learn about different graces and more from Cashore's realm only to be slapped in the face … Continue reading Fire by Kristin Cashore
Graceling by Kristin Cashore
Wow, I was so enchanted by this realm and these characters. What a fascinating world. It always amazes me how imaginative some authors can be. That's why I have no desire to write. I just don't have the capacity to create worlds like this. Or really anything that people would want to read... Graceling is … Continue reading Graceling by Kristin Cashore
The Eighth Guardian by Meredith McCardle
So far, I have learned one thing about myself from blogging book reviews: I tend to read similar books back to back. (See Exile for Dreamers and A Murder in Time) I'm not sure how this phenomenon occurs because I certainly don't plan these things out. I just read based off of what mood I'm … Continue reading The Eighth Guardian by Meredith McCardle
