Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All

After three long months, I have finally completed my first book of the year. Call it burn out from life, but I think I got my groove back a little. I stayed up until 4:30 in the morning just to finish it and get a third of the way through a new book. Oldest Living […]

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 […]

Empires of Sand

A book that I read earlier in the year and, yet, never posted about, Empires of Sand was a book that I really should have posted so much sooner. Adventure, love, camaraderie, familial relationships, on and on. It never failed me for a moment. Parisian explorer and innovator Henri DeVries falls in love with Serena […]

Amrita

I was able to fly through this next book pretty simple now that I have conquered a big one, and it was not a bad one to go with either. Sakumi goes through an eventful few years that include the suicide of her younger sister Mayu, the loss of her memory from falling down a […]

Kristin Lavransdatter

I have finally done it; I was able to finish a 1100+ page book in just over a month. Given that I am still working full time and doing a major project with my husband and other life circumstances… I could have done a little better, but not bad. So, here it is: Kristin Larvansdatter […]

Only Revolutions

I am sure by now, if you have read all the other reviews, that I love books by Mark Z Danielewski. Now I am only one book short of having read everything and then having to wait for something new of his to someday pop up. Only Revolutions follows Sam and Hailey as they find […]

Bone

This was a short, quick read, yet still haunting. As a warning it may be triggering for those dealing with mental health. Leila is the oldest of three daughters to a first generation Chinese American and a man who is father by choice to her and blood to her sisters. Bone talks about an event […]

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 […]
