Six of Crows (Six of Crows #1)

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

by Leave a Comment

Original short review: DNF at 14 percent. After the first few pages there was just too much info dumping and names for me to even focus. I loved the idea behind some people who have special abilities, but think that there wasn’t a good build up and I still can’t tell you who anyone is after Anya. Longer review: Did Not Finish at 14 percent. I feel bad about this one. So many people recommended this book to me since they thought it be right […]

The Haunting of Alejandra

The Haunting of Alejandra by V. Castro

by Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Well this book packed a punch. We follow 30 something year old Alejandra. Recently moved from Texas to Philadelphia with her husband and three children, she feels adrift. You initially think that maybe Alejandra is suffering from post-partum depression. However, the book quickly moves that something seems to be haunting Alejandra. Telling her that she’s a bad mother, that her children would be better off with her, and […]

The Boardwalk Bookshop

The Boardwalk Bookshop by Susan Mallery

by Leave a Comment

Good grief I definitely didn’t mind the sexy parts that was great. Not typical for Mallery but it was still good to see in her romance book. But the overall book was just a mess. Don’t read this book and think and it’s just gonna be about a book shop, it’s not. It follows three women, Ashley, Mikki, and Bree who go in together to buy a storefront on the beach. Bree runs the bookstore, Ashley a bakery, and Mikki a gift shop. All 3 […]

Desert Star

Desert Star by Michael Connelly

End of watch? Maybe. Good installment with Renee and Harry. Curious where Connelly goes next with the both of them. I think my main issue is that there were too many plot holes in this one that don’t get addressed. Also the Renee we know who was just kind of done at the end of the last book, I don’t see her taking this path. She read like a new character. And it’s beyond weird to realize that it’s been a year since the events […]

The Soulmate

The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth

by Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Well not quite up to par with Hepworth’s other works. And it’s really only because the back and forth between two women in separate timelines just didn’t work after a while as well as the lack of depth on some of the characters especially after a bunch of things get revealed. For example, I get why Hepworth included Amanda’s point of view, but after a while it added nothing […]

A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear: The Utopian Plot to Liberate an American Town

A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear: The Utopian Plot to Liberate an American Town by Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling

by 4 Comments

Good lord. I felt so many emotions while reading this book, and I am realizing that for the most part, I felt sad. I feel sad that a bunch of yahoos (that is my polite word for them) came into a town called Grafton and decided here we will make a libertarian paradise and just utterly wrecked the place. To the point that at times it felt like the bears were not the worst part of the whole ordeal. I think what makes me most […]
