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 […]

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 […]

Gloria

I finished reading Gloria a day or so after I got home from my vacation to Arizona. There honestly was no reason for it to take as long as it did for me to read. Life got in the way. Gloria, to describe badly, is about white privileged people in the 50s. There is also […]

Célestine: Voices from a French Village

I was able to finish Célestine last night, becoming more interested as I was going. This is a shorter book, 280 pages if you include the afterward, so it honestly could have been finished way sooner than this, but there would be a few days were I just was not reading anything. I started finding […]

The Night Circus

I regret staying up until five in the morning to finish this book, but really I do not, ha-ha. It was totally worth it. In the book recommendation group that I am a part of on Facebook, a lot of people were saying that this is a really good pick. This was actually one of […]

Heyday

Looks like a double whammy for y’all, ha-ha. Just finished Heyday yesterday. This may by far be the best thing I have read this year. Heyday, described badly, is a group of friends who come together to make their journey west at the very beginnings of the discovery of gold in 1848 California. Based off […]

The Memoirs of Cleopatra

It took me about a month, but another book closer to my goal for the year. I have always wanted to read The Memoirs of Cleopatra, since high school long ago, but I always kept putting it off. I have only ever read one book of Margaret George’s, and I thought it was alright. I […]

An Instance of the Fingerpost

Just finished a few days ago, I finally have a new review for you. This is by far in my top five books ever read, and I think I finally found a book that lit another spark to keep reading. It was indeed a long read, but, being me, once I got through the first […]

Hornet Flight

It has been a long, hard month, but I have Hornet Flight done and another book that will hopefully be finished shortly. Hornet Flight is another book that my husband and I have read together. It took us a really long time to read because we have going through a lot of stuff and added […]

The Finkler Question

I was able to finish this right when I started going on vacation this past week, and overall I am somewhere in the middle about it. Julian Treslove, Sam Finkler, and Libor Sevcik are three long-time friends; Julian and Sam were grade school friends and Libor was a teacher of theirs, meanwhile Libor and Sam […]
