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)

St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves by Karen Russell (Spoilers)
If you want to read the spoiler, highlight between the two ♈ symbols. For those using the Word Press 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 or visit my actual site to avoid … Continue reading St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves by Karen Russell (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
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)
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
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
