The Wild Rose

One more book to go for this trilogy. The Wild Rose focuses on Seamie, Fiona’s little brother, who isn’t little anymore. Time has passed since [Spoiler] Seamie and Willa have climbed Kilimanjaro, leaving their love shattered… like Willa’s leg. Back in London, time becomes a precious thing. World War I is approaching fast, leaving politics […]

Angels & Demons

This is incredibly long overdo. Tis the season for many book reviews, though, and holy Mothra do I have reviews. We will first start off with Angels and Demons, the first of five books concerning Robert Langdon by Dan Brown. Yes, this series. I am sure you have seen at least one of the movies […]

The Last Thing He Told Me

Good morning, everyone. I hope you all have had a great summer reading in the great outdoors. I have taken some time to get some reading done so that I can have breathing room to do reviews instead of being on the seat of my pants with anxiety to finish a book because ya’ll are […]

The Castle

Going off of the classics theme, I thought I would add Franz Kafka to my list of authors read. Over the years, I would come across Kafka and he was someone that was in the back of my mind to read if I was going to start reading much more dense content. Even though I […]

Burning Bright

Since the beginning of the year, I have been listening to The Daily Poem, a podcast on Spotify where the episodes are usually around 5-9 minutes long and there is a reading of a poem, some opinions on why it was worth reading, then a re-reading; I have learned a decent amount of poetry and […]

They Both Die at the End

I decided to read something different this time around: a book that has come out in the last five years. Usually I do not do this, usually because I try not to let hype dictate my decision or what I read. My husband and I were exploring through a thrift store and I found They […]

I, Mona Lisa

Still on a good pace, I think, during this crazy summer we all have been having, I have another book that was put off talking about. We all know the painting, but there is a novel on the woman behind it. I, Mona Lisa gives you semi-realistic snapshot of her life leading to her time […]

Dracula the Un-Dead

Another book crossed off for the year. A slow and steady progress, especially when it is a book that my husband and I read together. A sequel to Dracula, Dracula the Un-Dead was picked for the two us because when we were at a library sale one state over, I found a different book: Dracula […]

Mrs. Dalloway

I am a little disappointed in this book. I figured this would be a quick read to introduce me to Virginia Woolf; I had heard a lot of good things about her writing. My take away is filler. Mrs. Dalloway is one day in Mrs. Clarissa Dalloway’s life, a fifty-something woman who lives the snobbish […]

Chocolat

I am getting my second wind, I guess, because I have another review done, or perhaps I am just reading small reads for now and I am really just trying to feel accomplished ha-ha. I finished Chocolat a few days ago, and once again I seem to have hit another note within the song of […]
