“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 – Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake
May 24, 2016 by · 2 Comments
Anna Dressed in Blood has a spooky charm that pulled me in. Cas's dark and witty voice combined with Anna's general badassery made this book such a blast to read from start to finish. Though, I wasn't really sold on the romance part of the story. Cas hunts and ...
Book Review – When We Collided by Emery Lord
May 23, 2016 by · 2 Comments
When We Collided is the first book I've read by Emery Lord. While I appreciate the author peeling back the curtain and shedding light on mental illness, specifically bipolar disorder, I had too many issues with the writing style, characterization, and plot to enjoy this ...
Book Review – Wicked Heart by Leisa Rayven
May 11, 2016 by · 8 Comments
Leisa Rayven knows how to write romantic chemistry between her heroes and heroines, for sure. I was buying what she was selling on that front. However, the reason given as to why Liam broke it off—and why they weren't together in the present—with Liss seemed really flimsy ...

Memoirs aren't something that I usually gravitate to, but the synopsis of When Breath Becomes Air really struck a chord with me. I'm so glad I read it because it was such a wonderful book. Paul Kalanithi was a remarkable doctor and human being. Paul was diagnosed with ...
Book Review – Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys
May 3, 2016 by · 14 Comments
Book Review: Note: I read this book and then reread it by listening to it on audio. My audiobook comments are at the end. It is not often that a book as special as this one comes around. Ruta Sepetys's prose shines in this haunting fictional account of the most tragic ...

Audiobook Review – Love in Lowercase by Francesc Miralles
April 28, 2016 by · 2 Comments
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
April 27, 2016 by · 5 Comments
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 ...
