The Mysterious Benedict Society

This may be one of the few books that I have had the longest, and a true stereotype of bibliophiles where we mean to read something, but then we go and buy more books. I have had The Mysterious Benedict Society since I was in sixth, or seventh grade, and only now as a late […]

Free Food for Millionaires

Literally just completed, Free Food for Millionaires is going in my Top 5 easily. Free Food talks about a group of first and second gen Korean-Americans in New York during the 90s. In the center of the group is Casey, who is stubborn, incredibly prideful, and creates her own path. She is also broke as […]

All the Hits So Far, But Don’t Expect too Much

I remember being in college and the friends in my life at the time that were taking English classes went through the Christian poet phase. Bradley Hathaway and Levi the Poet were the bee’s knees and I bought into it by getting Hathaway’s book/CD combo and Levi’s albums. The phase did not last long, let […]

The Pit: A Story of Chicago

Good evening! I just finished this moments ago and wanted to share with ya’ll The Pit. I had no idea how old this book was until I googled it after reading; the copy I had has little description of the content let alone any context as to when it was written, or any information on […]

Twelfth Night

This was the first book that my husband and I read together; we have a ton of Shakespeare’s plays that we plan on reading together. It is really entertaining; one day we will do a Youtube video with one, or you should hear us sing Africa. Anyways… Being non-educated in the ways of Shakespeare unless […]

The Help

Here is a great book with a great message done in a way that is not over the top. For those that have seen the movie especially, this is something up your alley. For those that are unfamiliar to The Help, it talks about an issue that is not so much in the forefront of […]

The Shack

I remember reading this in high school and it blew me away, not just as a Christian, but also as non-biased reader. I know that the movie adaption came out about a year, or so ago, and I have not seen it yet, nor do I want to. The Shack for me is something that […]

Sex and the City

Do not be surprised with the influx of posts being made; I would rather get a review written up once the read has been read instead of waiting the proper designated day every week. Not right now when there is so much time to read so many books. Did any of you ever watch Sex […]

The Paris Winter

Fresh out of my hands and into a box, I have book number three done for this year; hopefully with this shut in that came in affect this past week I can have more done. The Paris Winter described badly follows three women in 1910 Paris who belong to the art community and they get […]

The Fifty Year Sword

Oh, The Fifty Year Sword, this is was an interesting read; and I know, it is another Mark Z. Danielewski as well. Something that I never talked about when reviewing The Little Blue Kite was how Danielewski writes his books. He is a pioneer for his alternative way of laying out text, called ergodic, or […]
