Books, Reading, and everything in between
A little side note: I didn’t know that Christina Lauren was two people! This was such a well written book knowing that two people contributed to the story. I kept trying to think about how they each contributed to both. Other books I’ve read written by two authors usually have two main voices. For this [...]
At first, I was a little skeptical about this book. A story that has the word "equation" in the title reminds me of Mark Watney in The Martian and how much math I had to do. Happily, there isn't much math in this book but a wonderful journey of a family coming to terms with their [...]
November seemed to go quickly, but also jam packed with news, articles, and great reads. I had a blast this November and here are some of the highlights. Thanksgiving at my in lawsI've never had Thanksgiving at anyone else's house before. I've always had it with my family with the same meal and the same [...]
The other night, in the silence of my apartment, I tore through the last 50 pages of Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward. I sat on my couch while waiting for my dinner to cook in the oven, getting up every so often to make sure my meatballs weren't burning. Once I finished the book, [...]
I’ve only tried to make bread once in my life and while I did have a tasty loaf, I can’t say if it was the best bread in the world. However, I have an inkling that Lois can. SOURDOUGH by Robin Sloan is the story about a woman named Lois Clary who arrives in [...]
After hearing that @kathareads and @literaryjo loved Emma in the Night, I had to check it out for myself. I bought the book back in September with my Book of the Month Club subscription, but it took me two months to pick it up. However, I can't believe I didn't pick this book up before. It [...]
I was in one of those moods where it felt like ages since I read something magical. There’s a lot going on in real life that feels so different and messy. It’s like one of those montage scenes in movies about the Vietnam War where you just see one depressing headline after another followed by [...]
I honestly am so happy that a book like this exists. Shortly after being told I had OCD, I tried to search the book world for fiction stories featuring characters with similar traits. I was a little surprised to find out that the world's exposure to OCD was only As Good As It Gets with [...]
https://youtu.be/MrfCqzrC5ZM Hey everyone! This is more of a PSA than it is a post about anything. I'm here to tell you that I'm now on Youtube/Booktube! That's right, you get to hear me rant and rave about authors and books IRL or as IRL as I can be without being in front of you. I [...]
I know this review is a long time coming. I've been mulling over this book for the past couple of weeks. I don't know how to describe my feelings for this book, but I know they are good. I just don't know how to explain it the best way possible. I'm going to at least [...]
