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 […]

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 […]

Attack on Titan

It has finally coming to an end. The world famous manga/anime Attack on Titan, after four seasons and ten years, is finally coming to an end. For those who do not know, Attack on Titan is about a group of people raised in a world of walls, where an enemy, called titans, stands outside the […]

The Death of Ivan Illych & Other Stories

I had read The Death of Ivan Illyich & Other Stories quite some time ago, so pardon me for the lack of detailed descriptions and personal analysis which would give a review its guts. When I was reading it, I had found it to be difficult, given that it was I believe my first exposure […]

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 […]

Hitler’s Niece

I was wondering yesterday how it had been since I wrote last. To my horror and embarrassment it has been five weeks about. Well, fuck. Whether you admit it, or not, there is something that makes you curious about Hitler. We all know what he did, we all know how truly awful a human being […]

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 […]
