The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman

The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman

The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman has a very interesting premise, a couple who run a lighthouse find a baby and raise it as their own. I was intrigued and looked forward to reading of the consequences this act would invoke. I enjoyed the sections of the book that described Tom and Isabel’s courtship. […]

A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness

A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness

I typically don’t read young adult unless it is in the form of Harry Potter. However, a new-to-me young adult book usually gets me out of a reading slump and A Monster Calls was my pick up of choice. It is a depressing book, dealing with the impending death of a child’s mother, but “happy […]

Me Before You Movie Review

Me Before You Movie Review

Me Before You is the cliché romance movie, boy and girl bicker, overcome conflict and fall in love. It has been done since Pride and Prejudice.
