Audiobook Review – Love in Lowercase by Francesc Miralles

Audiobook Review – Love in Lowercase by Francesc Miralles

Love in Lowercase is a cute novel about how small inconsequential things can have a big effect in our lives.  In Samuel's case, it was a stray cat changed his whole life. Admittedly this book, while short, was one that didn't hold my interest and the love story felt ...

Book Review – Me Before You by Jojo Moyes

Book Review – Me Before You by Jojo Moyes

Book Review: I've been wanting to read this book for a long time. I absolutely fell in love with Will and Lou's moments together. Characters with that kind of chemistry are rare. These two came to life on the page. But Lou's characterization and growth from beginning to end ...

Book Review – Whisper to Me by Nick Lake

Book Review: It’s weird. I’m writing this to you, and you haven’t walked into my life yet. But I guess you already know when you first saw me. It’s like a wood in ancient Greece, a leafy glade. I’m here, and the voice is here—the echo—and we’re just waiting for you, for ...

Audiobook Review – Why We Came to the City by Kristopher Jansma

Audiobook Review: Why We Came to the City is an emotional portrait of grief, loss, and hope. This is my first book by this author, and now I would like to go back and read his debut. At times, the pacing was bogged with with overly descriptive, tangential passages, but what ...

Book Review – The Crown’s Game by Evelyn Skye

Book Review – The Crown’s Game by Evelyn Skye

Book Review: The setting combined with the interesting premise of a duel to the death made me pick up Skye's debut. I enjoyed the author's vivid depictions of the Russian scenery but the romance felt contrived rather than organic. The Crown's Game is initiated by the ...

Audiobook Review – You by Caroline Kepnes

Audiobook Review – You by Caroline Kepnes

I did it! I met Joe Goldberg. Though, I don't ever want to really meet Joe Goldberg. You was both wildly entertaining and horrific, funny and terrifying. I had a crazy good time reading and listening to this book. The writing was really great and the Joe's character made it ...

Book Review – The Coincidence of Coconut Cake by Amy E. Reichert

Book Review – The Coincidence of Coconut Cake by Amy E. Reichert

The Coincidence of Coconut Cake has an alluring premise with a "secret identity" love affair between a restauranteur and a harsh food critic. But ultimately the book was just okay and rather bland. Al is a food critic known for his scathing reviews of local restaurant. ...

Book Review – Feverborn by Karen Marie Moning

Book Review – Feverborn by Karen Marie Moning

Book Review: The first five books of Karen Marie Moning's Fever series were captivating, riveting, and had a clear direction. Even though Burned, didn't have a traditional cohesive plot like the previous books in the series, the non-stop action gave that installment this ...
