In one of my book clubs I attend we were talking about the difference between historical and contemporary romance. With contemporary romance, there’s just usually not enough stakes going on to really care. A Merry Little Meet Cute tries to establish stakes with the main characters needing this movie to work out for their future, […]
Most people who know me know that I love true crime. It’s a combination of the mystery aspect and the psychology behind each crime. What makes a person do something so heinous? What circumstances or environment drove them to do this? Yet, something that I’ve battled with the past couple of years is the ethics […]
This is actually the lowest rated Emily Henry book I’ve read. I’m a little shocked that I did rate it so low but here we are. I was really into the book at the beginning. I thought it was a fun and sweet novel, but after the first few chapters I knew that Poppy and […]
I stayed up til 5 am on a work night to finish reading this book it was so good! I was only planning on reading a few chapters before bed, but that obviously didn’t happen. I am completely engrossed and captivated by the stories Liselle Sambury writes. This is only the second book of hers […]
A beautifully vulnerable novel that explores such a difficult topic. I’m amazed by the writing and the courage it took Levings to go back to this place so others know about this and those who are in this movement know there not alone. I surprisingly saw a lot of myself in Tia Levings while reading […]
To start off, I have to say I’ve never read The Wife of Bath or any of the Canterbury Tales. How I went through a master’s in English without reading this, I do not know, but I did. I did read over a summary of the tale to get a background of where this novel […]
I keep going back and forth on how to rate this book. There were some elements I really loved and others that I didn’t connect to or could be better worked on. Starting with what I didn’t like. I know I’m not a fan of insta-lust or insta-love trope, I feel like with this type […]
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.” […]
Sometimes we want more books in a series but don’t necessarily need them, having the original series stand on it’s own is enough. The original Hunger Games trilogy is such a series. The first three books were so great and poignant that adding more just takes away from the original series. To start off, I […]
I have never felt the need to go and yell at a fictional family more than I have in this novel! Every time I finish a novel, I go and look at the reviews to see what others say about it (really how different are their thoughts from mine and did we even read the […]
