Book Review | The League of Gentlewomen Witches

You know those books that you just want to wrap yourself in and escape the real world into? This is definitely one of them for me! The whole Dangerous Damsels series is a world I would love to live in and befriend Charlotte, Cecilia, Alex, and Ned. As with the first one, this is definitely […]

Book Review | Bride

Darcy, I thought you said you wouldn’t read a Ali Hazelwood book? Yes, I know and don’t worry I have a steaming pile of crow next to me right now. Before I start talking about my issues with the book, I did actually enjoy it. It was an enjoyable mystery to figure out what had […]

Book Review | First Lie Wins

Book Review | First Lie Wins

I started listening to this at work and ended up finishing it at home because I couldn’t stop it. I had to know what was going to happen. This was such a twisty novel that kept me on my toes, which is quite praise for a mystery/thriller novel. The story starts immediately with a dinner […]

Book Review | In My Dreams I Hold a Knife

Book Review | In My Dreams I Hold a Knife

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 […]

Book Review | The Last Housewife

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 […]

Book Review | Such a Bad Influence

I was so excited for this book when I first heard about it in one of the summer reading guides I went through (I cannot remember which one *laughing emoji*). While the novel was well thought out leading up to the reveal, the last 100 pages or so were a let down. One of the […]

Book Review | Northranger

I had never heard of this book until someone put it in the suggestion box at the library I work at. I was interested in the story but wasn’t planning on reading it or anything. But then it arrived and on the first page of the book I saw that it was set in Abilene […]

Book Review | Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982

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 […]

Book Review | My Year of Rest and Relaxation

Book Review | My Year of Rest and Relaxation

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 […]

Book Review | Ana María and the Fox

Before we get to the review I want to bring attention to a GoFundMe to save a family from Gaza and start again. Haya Murtaja and her two daughters, Sham and Maryam, have lost everything since the war. Her daughters have suffered a lot in the war, especially since they now live in a camp, […]
