After finishing this novel, I looked up the background info for the novel. Specifically, what genre is this classified under which depends on what source is looked up. On the publisher website it’s “literary fiction,” the copyright page classifies this as “erotic” and “romance” fiction, and Goodreads has it listed as “romance,” “fiction,” and “contemporary.” […]
In My Dreams I Hold a Knife has been on my radar for a while, and after finishing The Last Housewife, I wanted to read another Winstead novel. While she’s amazing at writing such tense scenes that make it hard to put the book down, I really disliked this one in comparison to The Last […]
Another thriller audiobook that I listened to while driving back home from the Utah Shakespeare Festival. This one has stayed with me in the weeks since finishing it and still gives me the chills. I may even have to change what kind of romance smut I read due to this, I don’t know. It was […]
I first heard of this novel from TikTok (@wtfaleisa) who talked about how this book sparked the 4B Movement in South Korea, which has since updated my algorithm to show me TikToks about the actual history of South and North Korea, and my continual growing hate of the United States. Moving on, I bought it […]
When I first finished the book, I thought it was an enjoyable novel. It was an interesting story to focus on the Pied Piper child evacuations in WWII and a young girl going missing destroying multiple families and the village they were living in. Yet, the more I think about it, the less I like […]
Before we get to the review, I want to bring to your attention the Go Fund Me campaign to help Daneia and Mohamed save their family. Dania (it’s spelled both ways in the post) comes from a family of 9. They have lost everything, our home, our friends. They’ve been at war for 8 months […]

The best thing about this book is that I want to give Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter another chance. This is quite surprising because my dislike of The Scarlet Letter is quite known among my friends. It did take a bit to get into the story, but I understand why the author wrote it the […]
I totally decided to read this book based on the cover and nothing else. But I’m so glad I did because this book was fascinating and a ride from beginning to end. The actual plot was a good and usual mystery novel. The Emperor tasks Charm to find who killed him and is in a […]
Wow! Kurt Vonnegut remains a wonderful writer and storyteller in my book. I started reading Vonnegut’s work because of a Criminal Minds episode where Emily and Morgan bring up Kilgore Trout, and I decided to read Slaughterhouse-Five. While Slaughterhouse-Five is impressive, I wish I had read Mother Night sooner. The story of Howard W. Campbell, Jr. goes back and forth […]
