2021: The Best Of

In the second week of December, I sat down at my desk and seriously considered the reading year. I prepped myself for intense focus and elimination in order to determine the TEN BEST books I read this year. I encouraged and pep-talked to my heart’s content: you can do this! Never before have you been… Read More 2021: The Best Of

Book Review: The Maidens by Alex Michaelides

Thanks to Celadon Books, who provided an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Okay thriller fans, buckle up, because it’s time to discuss what I’m going to argue is the most anticipated psychological thriller of 2021: Alex Michaelides’s newest novel, The Maidens.  It’s very likely you’ve seen the dark, romantic cover on your Instagram… Read More Book Review: The Maidens by Alex Michaelides

Book Review: Finding Freedom by Erin French

Thank you, Celadon Books, for sending me an advanced copy of this beautiful book. I’m eternally grateful!

Book Review: The Room on Rue Amélie

(I was given this ARC way back in 2018 in exchange for an honest review. Obviously behind, but I’m working on clearing out my old ARCs right now, so there you go.) “I mean that sometimes, we only discover our calling in life when things are darkest.” You guys remember what March of 2018 was… Read More Book Review: The Room on Rue Amélie

I Went Outside Last Week

I know that in my last post I refused to talk about what’s going on in the world right now, but my perspective has changed a bit.

February Reading Wrap-Up

Shocker, I’m behind by a few weeks in reviewing my February reads. The shortest month of the year has been completed! We even got an extra day this year, so I can be thankful for that.

This project/challenge was originated by Whitney at The Unread Shelf (both… Read More On Building My Personal Library Catalog
