I actually genuinely loved Girl In The Blue Coat by Monica Hesse. A quick glance over at goodreads shows that it got mixed reviews. I am the black sheep on this, but it really spoke to me. It also definitely had me craving some more historical fiction in my life. I should mention that I listened […]
Glory O’Brien’s History Of The Future by AS King | Audiobook Review
June 13, 2016
Why Did I Listen To Glory O’Brien’s History Of The Future by AS King? Glory O’Brien’s History Of The Future by AS King is a book that appealed to me simply because it is written by AS King. I have yet to read a book by King that is not brilliant, well written, and moving. […]
Highly Illogical Behavior by John Corey Whaley | Book Review
June 3, 2016

Thankfully, Whaley’s latest absolutely smashes expectations. This book provides a human look at mental illness and […]

March 15, 2015
I won’t lie, I read The Prince Of Venice Beach by Blake Nelson because it was the shortest book in my Netgalley queue and because for some odd reason I thought it would be a fun, fast lighthearted beach read. Apparently my expectations were way off base because this book was anything but lighthearted. That’s not […]
