"It's not fair.""No. It's not. Life rarely is. But we deal with it the best we can. And we allow ourselves to hope for the best. Because a life without hope isn't a life lived at all." I adored this book! I was absorbed from the first few pages and absolutely loved every element of... Continue Reading →
Who doesn't love a good regency romance? If you answered "I don't" to that question, you might as well move on. If you answered with anything else, please keep reading. Before the Wallflower series by Lisa Kleypas I actually hadn't read any regency romance novels. I did fall victim to binging the first season of... Continue Reading →
Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness is an amazing memoir about journalist Susannah Cahalan's battle with rediscovering herself after an uncommon-at-the-time brain disease took away almost all she was in a matter of a few weeks. This book was recommended to me by my best friend who read it herself after we graduated from... Continue Reading →
I don't know how long Six Months Later has been in my bookcase. I couldn't even tell you when or where I got it. But I finally read it! And I really enjoyed it and I wish I read it earlier. It's definitely a YA novel and even though I really like the YA genre... Continue Reading →
This isn't a novel and far from anything I've read before aside from maybe a textbook. And there's actually a little story behind why it ended up on my TBR list. While working in my favorite job at an outdoor store in Grand Lake, the west entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park, I found a... Continue Reading →
One of Us Is Lying was a recommendation from a friend who described it as similar (but better) than Pretty Little Liars. It didn't take me long to add it to my To Be Read list and shortly after I borrowed it from the library to read. And I wasn't disappointed. The book follows five... Continue Reading →
Back when I saw the movie Beastly with Alex Pettyfer and Vanessa Hudgins I didn't realize it was a book. Of course, when I found out it was a book and part of a series, I wanted to read it. I have to admit I've had Beastly by Alex Flinn on my bookcase for several... Continue Reading →
If you didn't read the Twilight Saga move on from this post. It won't make sense to you anyway. If you are a fan of Twilight and haven't read Midnight Sun by Stephanie Meyer you should. I'll preface this review by saying that even though I enjoyed reading this flipped perspective novel, I probably wouldn't... Continue Reading →
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng was a book I was eager to read because I wanted to watch the TV miniseries from Hulu. I have this self-proclaimed rule that if a book is made into a movie or show and it looks like something I'd really like to read, I'll read it before I... Continue Reading →
Hello fellow bibliophiles! Today is the day to celebrate our great love: books. Now I personally celebrate books every time I pick one up, whether to buy it, read it or to rearrange it on one of my bookshelves. But today is special because we all put down our phones and refrain from turning on... Continue Reading →
I read this book from a recommendation and was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it. I have never been a huge historical fiction person, but I really enjoyed this story and got to a point where I couldn't put it down. I even ended up purchasing the book after my library borrow time... Continue Reading →
In honor of World Book Day I want to give my top five book recommendations. I could recommend a long list of books but these are five that I find to be great reads for anyone. I realized just the other day that I ask people for book recommendations a lot and I'm always grateful... Continue Reading →
