I came across this book from my BookBub email blast and disregarded it because I was really wanting to read some queer romance. Then later that day, it was recommended to me on Kindle and that time I noticed that the person on the cover was a man, not a woman. Then I found out […]
Before starting the review of this book, some background is needed. I first learned about Ms. Sayers through the undergrad class “The Oxford Christians.” The course covered material from G.K. Chesterson, J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Dorothy L. Sayers, and other contemporaries. I was super excited for the class mostly because we would be reading Tolkien’s […]
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 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 […]
This has been on my TBR for a while and with the show premiering in June, I decided it was time to read it. It’s definitely one of the funniest novels I’ve read in a while, if not years. I was snort laughing at least every other path, if not every page. It was definitely […]
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 […]
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 […]
This could possibly be I read this during a stressful time (job interview and waiting to find out if I got it) but it was a little slow to get started and in the middle. Both Lucky and Maverick are adorable, as individuals and as a couple. Of course, Rebel stole the whole show, absolutely […]
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 […]
