Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood (Spoilers)

July 11, 2019July 10, 2019Leave a comment

So at this point, I don't think any of you would be surprised to learn that I joined another book club. It's kind of like a compulsion now. But I'm not going to rag on myself too hard because this new book club led to me reading this lovely book that I've had sitting in … Continue reading Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood (Spoilers)

Milkman by Anna Burns (No Spoilers)

June 12, 2019June 11, 2019Leave a comment

Okay, so my first warning, which you cannot have possibly avoided if you've read anything at all about this book, is that Burns' writing style in this book, is not for everyone. I read a lot and I normally read very quickly, but I am not kidding when I tell you I slogged through this … Continue reading Milkman by Anna Burns (No Spoilers)

The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden (No Spoilers)

January 15, 20196 Comments

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)

Into the Dim by Janet B. Taylor

August 22, 2017November 8, 20181 Comment

So this was another of those Goodreads Deals that I bought where the premise sounded super intriguing. Hope Walton, described as "fragile" in the synopsis for this book, left reeling after the death of her mother, decides to spend her summer in Scotland. Here she discovers that her mother was part of a group of … Continue reading Into the Dim by Janet B. Taylor

The Countess by Rebecca Johns

July 7, 2017November 8, 20181 Comment

#SPOILERALERT Which means I will be discussing various details that are NOT #SPOILERFREE Okay, so I found this book via Goodreads Deals a couple of months ago and the synopsis sounded vaguely interesting and something akin to "The horror of the serial murders by the Countess Bathory told in her own words...Were the serial murders … Continue reading The Countess by Rebecca Johns

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith

July 5, 2017November 8, 20181 Comment

  Alright, so for this rotation in Reading Between the Wines (my real-world book club) we decided to do a round of favorites. We said that you should pick a book that falls in to your Top 5 favorites. I know, for us #booknerds it's always so hard to narrow it down. But I pitched … Continue reading A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith

A Murder in Time by Julie McElwain

June 26, 2017November 8, 20181 Comment

My first though when constructing this review was that I read two books back to back that have almost identical covers. (See Exile for Dreamers by Kathleen Baldwin) I think I have a type. I would probably believe that more if I picked books for my TBR list based off of their covers, but I do … Continue reading A Murder in Time by Julie McElwain

Exile for Dreamers by Kathleen Baldwin

June 9, 2017November 8, 20182 Comments

Alright, so I read the first book in this series way back before I started this blog, and I LOVED it! So much so that I specifically requested that my local library buy the second and third books in the series since they only had the first. Well, lo and behold, a couple of days … Continue reading Exile for Dreamers by Kathleen Baldwin

Tidewater by Libbie Hawker

March 11, 2017November 8, 2018Leave a comment

WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING  If you're looking to read a story about Pocahontas that is just like the Disney movie, THIS IS NOT THE BOOK FOR YOU. But don't not give it a chance just because it's not what you're used to. I will admit that when I picked this book … Continue reading Tidewater by Libbie Hawker

The Wonder by Emma Donoghue

February 23, 2017November 8, 2018Leave a comment

For my first review I decided on this one because it came up in my regular book club that I do with my friends, Reading Between the Wines (RBW). I will admit that this type of story is not my usual cup of tea (anything having to do with religion tends to scare me off … Continue reading The Wonder by Emma Donoghue
