This is another one of those books where I'm not really sure how to classify whether or not my review has spoilers. Norse Mythology is essentially Neil Gaiman's take or interpretation of Norse myths. So it's not really a new story, but it may be new to you. I will say that this was my first … Continue reading Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman (Spoilers)

Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood (Spoilers)
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)
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
From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death by Caitlin Doughty (With Spoilers?)
So, seeing this image on my computer definitely does not do this cover the justice it deserves. I actually bought this as a hardcover, because that's what I do with all of the books that I read for the various book clubs that I'm in, and let me tell you: my husband and I came … Continue reading From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death by Caitlin Doughty (With 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)
Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Córdova
So the campus café at my University is located in a Barnes and Noble, which means that when I have class (Mondays and Wednesdays) I usually end up leaving the café with lunch and a few books. I tend to browse while they're making my sandwich and coffee. And that is were I picked this … Continue reading Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Córdova
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
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
Follow Me Back by A.V.Geiger
THERE WILL BE SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW!!! I can't review this one and NOT TALK ABOUT THAT ENDING! Wow. Just wow. I bought this book because a couple of my fellow bloggers in the twitterverse/blogosphere were going crazy about it. I finally read the synopsis and decided I would check it out for myself, and … Continue reading Follow Me Back by A.V.Geiger
Prayers for the Stolen by Jennifer Clement
Well, this was definitely an interesting read for me. This book came up in my RBTW book club for the month of May. And while it was an interesting read, I really struggled with this book for two reasons: (1) I have a hard time following stream-of-consciousness writing, especially when it doesn't follow logical thought, … Continue reading Prayers for the Stolen by Jennifer Clement
Faithful Place by Tana French
Okay, so this book came up in our RBTW Book Club rotation, picked by someone other than me. This was hard for me, just because it was the 3rd book in the series, and I haven't read the first two yet. My mind really struggles with doing things out of order. I bought the first … Continue reading Faithful Place by Tana French
