I keep telling myself that I will review every book I read. Or, at least, more of the books I read. And I keep not doing it. Sometimes, I feel like it’s a herculean task to get my thoughts about a book out of my mind and written out. Other times, I’m not sure I have enough unique …

I’m a little late writing this, but better late than never! Last year, I read 57 books. Out of those 57, I rated only seven books as 5-star reads. Another 22 made the list with 4 stars. I won’t include all of these in this post. Goodreads doesn’t allow partial stars, so many of …

Meant to Be by Emily Giffin is a romance novel centered around a fictional Kennedy-esque family. While enjoyable, I often found the story to be bland, the characters shallow, and overall less than what I expect from Emily Giffin. Touching on a plethora of issues—domestic abuse, dead parents, the …

Fevered Star by Rebecca Roanhorse is the second book in the series Between Earth and Sky. The sequel to Black Sun, this novel will not disappoint fans of the first. A wild fantasy series, complete with mysticism, magic, intrigue, romance, and family feuds. Fevered Star returns to The Merdian in the …

People like this book. People LOVE this book. O.M.G. I do not understand why. Daisy Jones and the Six, by Taylor Jenkins Reid, uses a rock documentary narrative device.
