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 ...

April 26, 2016 by · 9 Comments
“This and That” is a feature to showcase books that I think sound similar or have similar themes and would recommend to someone who is a fan of the “this book.” Often times, I may not have read the “that” book, but I think fans of the “this” book might like it based on the ...
Book Review – Whisper to Me by Nick Lake
April 25, 2016 by · 3 Comments
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 ...

April 24, 2016 by · 4 Comments
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
April 20, 2016 by · 1 Comment
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 ...

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 ...

April 12, 2016 by · 2 Comments
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
April 11, 2016 by · 4 Comments
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 ...
Book Review – The Glittering Court by Richelle Mead
April 7, 2016 by · 4 Comments
Book Review: The Glittering Court is the first book in Richelle Mead's new fantasy/historical-like series that I would describe as an Elizabethan "The Bachelor with ladies' choice" meets colonial America meets the Gold Rush. That's a lot to take in, I know. As a loyal fan ...
