The Christmas Party by Carole Matthews
I am trying to be better about posting reviews even if I am just not in the mood. I sometimes will read a book that’s not that great, and I just don’t have the energy to post a review or rate it. So this year I am going to be better about posting reviews for everything I review even when not in the mood. Okay back to this book. I did not enjoy it. The only reason why I gave this 2 stars (grudgingly she […]
If I Had Your Face by Frances Cha
I have no patience anymore for books I am not enjoying. I have tried to finish this book the past two weeks and finally said forget it this afternoon. I just can’t get into this no matter how hard I try. My mind wanders. I don’t know if it’s the subject (following four young women in Korea who are very focused on their physical appearance) and the fact that seems to be the only plot. I just don’t know what I am supposed to be […]
Masterpieces of Mystery and the Unknown by Agatha Christie
I do love this collection. I have never posted a review on it before (no idea why) but it always is something that I try to read every year or so when the mood hits. Usually I will just read my favorite stories, but decided to just do a full re-read right now. I do love that Christie played around with different mystery tropes in this collection. Some of if though touches upon thriller/supernatural genre which she didn’t really include when writing her Poirot and […]
Miss Marple: The Complete Short Stories by Agatha Christie
February 25, 2022: So I am all about the comfort reads right now. Reading Miss Marple getting the bad guy in the end was just what I needed right now. I also for some weird reason just need to have a physical book in my hands right now. I don’t know if it’s turning the pages that is soothing to me or the smell of the book, but I read this collection and my other short story collection written by Christie that I have in […]
Maus I by Art Spiegelman
Maus II by Art Spiegelman
Maus I- I am sure better people than me have written a review about Maus I. And I honestly have to say that the art/panels/writing is wonderful. I read Maus I and Maus II together and both graphic novels tell you the story of Art Spiegelman’s father. Mostly it focuses on Mr. Spiegelman’s love/frustration for him and his mother. Maus I shows us Art Spiegelman and how he came to sit and write/record the story of his father and his time in Auschwitz. We also […]
The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living by Meik Wiking
I enjoyed this book a lot. The author gets into Danish history and how/why the Danes are the happiest people on Earth. I just enjoyed reading about how the Danes are happy in the winter and how that carries over to how they do things in the spring/summer as well. I just always assumed hygee was only something done in the winter. There’s obviously things I have no intention of ever doing (decorating my house in neutral colors offends me) but things such as just […]
