The Fig Eater

I think I have been on this craze where the next book I read is somehow related to the book prior to it. The book reviewing now, The Fig Eater, is another historical fiction like Burning Bright, and that is where the similarity ends, ha-ha. The Fig Eater was a book that I had would […]

The Girl who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest

Last, but not least. So here is the culmination of Girl with a Dragon Tattoo and Girl who Played with Fire. I will say, this was actually a letdown, but one the same plane, this is also not toooooo bad of a letdown. Where we are from Girl who Played with Fire: Lisbeth has been […]

The Girl who Played with Fire

Another wild ride is over. The second in the Millennium series, Larsson does it again to bring you into this world he has made with the characters we already know and are invested with, a story to further our understanding of Lisbeth Salander, and a pace somewhat similar to the first yet not so long […]

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

This is the first time in a long time where I have read an actual series where you did not need to hop in at a random part. It is different in a good way if you think relationally to what you are reading. The pace might be a little slower because you are given […]

The Mysterious Affair at Styles

Happy New Year, everyone! I am starting the year off strong with a few new reviews and with a new fervor for reading. Last year showed me how little I actually read, even though I could throw in excuses of how much I work and have other things going on. It is the priority you […]

Desperation

We are coming close to Christmas, everyone! For those who are participating in the Goodreads challenge, I hope you have made your goal, because I cannot say that about myself, ha-ha. Just going to hop right to it. I was very surprised at how quick Desperation was to read, given that it was almost 700 […]

A Splinter of glass

When I started to write this, I forgot the name of the book that my husband and I had finished reading together a week or so ago; when asked, he replies with “A Splinter of Ass,”. I guess we can begin to assume how this review is going to look for this book. A Splinter […]

Dracula

I was hoping to have this book done sooner because of Halloween. I found a podcast on Spotify called Pheobe Reads a Mystery, basically an audiobook for mysteries. So I listened to it while reading my own physical copy. I think it took away from the reading experience, but at the same time it sets […]

Shutter Island

I finished Shutter Island rather quickly; maybe I am on a roll. Teddy Daniels and Chuck Aule are US Marshals sent to Shutter Island, a mental institute, to solve the disappearance of a patient, Rachel Solando, convicted of killing her three children. Right from the get go, things are sketchy; the Vice Warden and Head […]

The Romanov Prophecy

Another historical book for the year completed, but at least this is on a different topic. Besides WWII-era, the Revolution of 1917 and the Romanovs were a great topic of historical interest to me. Their whole story, both relationally and politically speaking, has been interesting to learn and relearn. Miles Lord is on a highly […]
