"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 →
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 →
Hey, it's been a while fellow book-loving followers! I know I promised to write quite a few book reviews back in August and I'd like to say I have a good excuse, but I don't so I'm just going to get on with it. I had wanted to read The Emerald Mile: The Epic Story... Continue Reading →
Book thirty nine/forty of my 2019 Reading Challenge. Cynthia Hand's The Last Time We Say Goodbye This book was a little hard to read mainly because of the central element of the story being about a teen's suicide and how it affects those close to them. I think Cynthia Hand handles the touchy subject very... Continue Reading →
Book thirty eight of my 2019 Reading Challenge. Rainbow Rowell's Pumpkinheads I've really enjoyed reading Rainbow Rowell's novels and when I found out she had a graphic novel coming out that was fall oriented I was very excited. And I wasn't disappointed. Rowell's writing paired with the illustrations is witty and fun and everything you... Continue Reading →
Book thirty seven of my 2019 Reading Challenge. The Photography of Game of Thrones So I became a Game of Thrones fan a little later in the game than most and you can read more about that in my blog post here. I managed to get the first seven seasons finished before the eighth premiered... Continue Reading →
Book thirty six of my 2019 Reading Challenge. Ken Liu's The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories Short stories are always great to read because they're short and a quick to finish for most readers. They let you get a taste of a story without the commitment of an entire novel. Unfortunately, for me, a book... Continue Reading →
Book thirty five of my 2019 Reading Challenge. Amy Poehler's Yes Please I didn't think I'd like non-fiction and biographies in particular but with this reading challenge I wanted to try some new things. Amy Poehler's biography about her life as a comedian and mom was one that I enjoyed a lot. I mean, who... Continue Reading →
Books twenty nine through thirty four of my 2019 Reading Challenge. J.R. Ward's The Black Dagger Brotherhood I was first introduced to J.R. Ward's world of vampires when I was in high school from that dear old bookworm of a friend that I've mentioned before. She owns all the books and let me borrow the... Continue Reading →
Book twenty eight of my 2019 Reading Challenge. Before I get into the my most recent book review, I thought I'd let you know I've decided to lower my goal for the 2019 Goodreads Reading Challenge. Instead of reaching for the 50 book goal I will be trying to get 40 books read instead. 50... Continue Reading →
