Book exchange

Christmas came early this year :)

November 30, 2021 by postcardsandbooks 3 Comments

Book exchange has arrived!  Thank you so much! 🙂 I am super excited! I loved Layne Fargo’s other book, so I can’t wait to pick up Temper, and Mrs. England sounds very intriguing.  My 2022 TBR is looking up, guys! 🙂 Dear Secret Santa, please let me know who you are, so I can properly thank you! 🙂

They Never Learn

The best thriller I’ve read this year

They Never Learn by Layne Fargo

November 9, 2021 by postcardsandbooks 11 Comments

You guys don’t know just how behind I am in reviews, because I kept prioritizing reviewing the bingo ones, but I have at least 15 overdue reviews and am not looking forward to catching up. But catch up I will, and I decided to start with something that’s made me happy.  This was by far the best mystery thriller I read this year. Honestly, I read this within a day. I literally couldn’t put it down. We follow 2 perspectives in Gorman University: Carly Schiller […]

Skyward

So excited for Book 3!

Skyward by Brandon Sanderson

Starsight by Brandon Sanderson

October 27, 2021 by postcardsandbooks 2 Comments

You guys don’t know just how behind in reviews, because I keep prioritizing reviewing the bingo ones, but I’ve had a hard time getting into those last few books and have read an amazing few books in between (and some not so amazing ones as well). I only have one prompt left on my Bingo card, which is “Libations”, and I have officially given up on this one so I guess it’s my turn to use the “Reader’s Choice” square to fill that one – […]

A heartbreaking tale of children being failed by the adults in their lives again and again

The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy

October 22, 2021 by postcardsandbooks Leave a Comment

“Where the Love Laws lay down who should be loved. And how. And how much.” Here’s the thing I don’t get about me and literary fiction: why do I hesitate so much in picking up these books? I mean, yes, they tend to be slow-reading, and every once in a while, they will take their toll on me, but so often I end up giving them 5 stars that I can’t understand what stops me. But I digress; let’s talk Bingo. If my calculations are correct, […]

The Night Thief

Just… so many cops

The Night Thief by Joy Ellis

October 12, 2021 by postcardsandbooks Leave a Comment

I’ve been looking for a book with a landscape on the cover for such a long time. And since it’s October and I was in the mood for spooky reads, I thought I couldn’t go wrong with a thriller. How hard could it be to find? I’m honestly amazed that I didn’t give up on what appeared to be a fool’s errand. Alas, NetGalley came to my rescue. The Night Thief is a procedural crime book, which will be out on November 18th, and I got a […]

I thought I didn’t care, but then I couldn’t stop crying

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

September 27, 2021 by postcardsandbooks 5 Comments

I don’t think I have ever read a book that was quite this hyped to me. I am actually looking forward to going back through the past reviews of this book here to see what cannonballers think of this book, because you guys always surprise me in a good way when I’m feeling conflicted – I never feel alone. Anyway, this book is the current darling of booktube, bookstagram and booktok even though it’s already 10 years old by now, which I think is quite […]
