Tokyo Year Zero

Happy Friday, everyone. Tokyo Year Zero is a heavy read in terms of mental health; just saying as a precautionary for everyone. When I was telling my mom about it as I was drawing to a close, she got a little concerned, as moms do, that this would not be a little triggering for me […]

For All the Wrong Reasons

This was a quick read, indeed. It is also the first for me reading something in the romantic genre. In terms of the genre itself, I do not think I would read something like this again. I would like to think it is not because of how I was raised, which was in the church […]

We Need to Talk About Kevin

Happy October! I am sure readers went with a scary book for Halloween, so instead of picking a Stephen King boo, or Dean Koontz, I went with one that I thought about reading a whole bunch of times in the past, but would chicken out for whatever reason. I would like to point out first […]

The Tattered Cloak & Other Novels

Just completed The Tattered Cloak and I will say that I was quite a fan. Inside are six short stories about various Russian characters who are either going from Russia to Paris, or are already there, or are leaving to somewhere else; they all take place between 1920s and the 40s, and no, World War […]

Elske

I put in some work while I was on vacation from my grown up 40-50 hour a week job, ha-ha. This one is different for me because it is more of a fantasy book and that is a genre I have yet to explore. Elske is about a girl named Elske, because figures, who is […]

Perfect Summer & Malibu Summer

Another couple of Sweet Valley High notches made in the belt. For those who have not read the review for first group of Sweet Valley High books that I have read since starting this WordPress site, I obtained a banker box full of them when I was in about middle school. I never started reading […]

The Crimson Petal and the White

Just finished reading this monster of a read; I will say, I know that I could have burned through it a lot faster than the pace I was going at. At the same time, Crimson Petal and the White had so many unexpectancies that by the time I read the last sentence, I wanted more. […]

I did not forget about reviews, I promise! I am within 90 pages of finishing the next book that I will be reviewing, I have honestly been a little lazy with it because there have been a couple of things that had taken precedence in my life right now. About two months ago, my husband […]

The Italian Secretary

Another “read aloud with my husband” book done, and we are somewhat glad that it is finished. The Italian Secretary, as said in the sub-title, is an expansion to the Sherlock Holmes universe, where Holmes and Watson go to Scotland where they need to debunk a ghostly legend. To be honest, I have not read […]

House of Leaves

This has to be one of my favorite books ever read. I got my first copy of House of Leaves when I was just graduating high school and going into college from my neighbor who had said she had to read it for her psychology class. This is not a regular textbook, though. Going through […]
