Old Series Bingo: Garnethill

Garnethill by Denise Mina

October 4, 2021 by msvreadsbooks Leave a Comment

This is for my OLD SERIES bingo square. TW: Sexual assault survivor story I’ve been waiting a long time to read this book – it was one of the first books I added to my GoodReads list. It’s a murder mystery that takes place in Glasgow, Scotland, which are a few of my favorite things.  Maureen O’Donnell works at a box office in a theater. She doesn’t feel like she has much going on, besides a cute flat in the Garnethill neighborhood and a married […]

I Will Never Stop Loving Love

The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris

April 18, 2020 by randirock Leave a Comment

Wow. Wow. Wow. This book is. Just. Wow. The Tattooist of Auschwitz is based on the true story of Holocaust survivors Lale and Gita Sokolov who met and fell in love in the infamous concentration camp. “I tattooed her number on her left hand, and she tattooed her number in my heart,” Lale reminisced in an interview with author Heather Morris. While I write this review in the middle of a global pandemic, I am reminded that I am beyond lucky to be safely quarantined […]

Snuff by Chuck Palahniuk

Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk

Goodbye Mr. Chips by James Hilton

Lyra's Oxford by Philip Pullman

Elementals by AS Byatt

December 31, 2018 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

New York Stories – 4/5 Stars I read Elizabeth Hardwick’s collected essays earlier this year. I also read her novel Sleepless Nights last year. This is a collection of stories that encompasses about 45-50 years worth of short stories edited and selected by Darryl Pinckney, another novelist and critic who also famously worked with and was friends with Hardwick. I read these stories in a variety of orders, and since they are not part of an intentional collection this blending and mixing up of the […]

Against Forgetting

April 17, 2018 by Jen K 4 Comments

Every once in a while I discover odd gaps in the books I have read, and Night was one of those. Since I learned to read German before I learned to read English, and spent K-7 in the German school system, I usually tend to assume I have read certain childhood classics or novels commonly read in middle school, but under a German name where the translated title doesn’t quite match up.  This was especially the case with the book, Night, which blurs the line […]
