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)

Five Feet Apart by Rachael Lippincott, Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis (Spoilers)
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 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)
ARC Review of Children of Daedala by Caighlan Smith
I went with three flames for this one because despite all of the negatives I found in this book, the concept and plot of the story was hypnotic and I found myself under Smith's spell. A little background because I think it helps illustrate my confusion. If you've never heard the story of Daedalus and … Continue reading ARC Review of Children of Daedala by Caighlan Smith
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
