TBR Thursday is a weekly meme hosted here at First Impressions Reviews. It’s a chance to showcase what is on your to-be-read pile. It doesn’t matter if it’s one book or the whole stack, the point is to share great books and why they were added to that ever-growing tbr mountain. On My TBR This […]
Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings to spotlight and talk about the books we’re excited about. I’m Waiting For Why I’m Waiting I love retellings, fairy tales, classic literature, or, historical figures, I devour them. Therefore, despite not having read The Scarlet Letter (something I plan to remedy) I was excited […]
Reviews Done Quick Dark Places lives up to its name and is a dark film. The light, sets, and plot are all dark and eerie. However, and perhaps because of this, I found it difficult to keep my attention. The flashbacks to 1985, the time of the murders, were a little too haphazard and sloppy. […]

Hosted by Rose City Reader Beginning: To the public eye, the spouse of well-known authors are all but invisible, and no one knew it better than Lisey Landon. Hosted by Freda’s Voice Page 56 Not in my dream, of course not, she tells herself, and this seems reasonable. Up ahead is room 319, which is […]

A scene that should have been five minutes went […]
