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 […]

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
![Highly Illogical Behavior by John Corey Whaley is another of his quietly brilliant books that completely nails characterization.](https://i0.wp.com/goodbooksandgoodwine.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Highly-Illogical-Behavior-John-Corey-Whaley-Book-Cover.jpg?fit=200%2C300&ssl=1)
Highly Illogical Behavior by John Corey Whaley is another of his quietly brilliant books that completely nails characterization. Where Things Come Back and Noggin are both intelligently written reads that I loved, so my expectations for Highly Illogical Behavior were quite large. Thankfully, Whaley’s latest absolutely smashes expectations. This book provides a human look at mental illness and […]
The Dead House by Dawn Kurtagich | Review
![The Dead House by Dawn Kurtagich is an okay read with demons and possession, a story well suited to fans of The Exorcist and The Merciless.](https://i0.wp.com/goodbooksandgoodwine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/TheDeadHousebyDawnKurtagich.jpg?fit=200%2C300&ssl=1)
The Dead House by Dawn Kurtagich is a book which I read to satisfy a craving for reading a book comprised of found documents after falling for Illuminae earlier in 2015. Aside from knowing about the found documents, I had no clue really what to expect from The Dead House going in. I found Kurtagich’s debut to […]

This week, I read Wildlife by Fiona Wood. It was a book that had been on my radar for quite some time so when I saw it on the shelf at my local library I couldn’t resist the opportunity to borrow it. Why was it on my radar? First of all, it’s set in Australia […]

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 […]
