Book Review: Mrs March

Book Review: Mrs March

Posted May 19, 2022 by Whitney in Review / 2 Comments

What I Liked Mrs. March is told in a non-linear timeline. The reader is taken back to when Mrs. March first met her husband and back to the present day. However, the author never gives a specific decade in which the story occurs. Therefore, we are left to wonder, is it the 50s or 70s? […]

The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun

The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun

Posted May 4, 2022 by Whitney in Review / 2 Comments

I have a confession to make. Reality dating shows are my guilty pleasure, specifically The Bachelor. Because of this slight obsession, as soon as I read the summary of The Charm Offensive I knew I had to read it. Charlie is awkward and endearing. I enjoyed watching his character grow and find love when it […]

Audiobook Review: Olga Dies Dreaming by Xochitl Gonzalez

Audiobook Review: Olga Dies Dreaming by Xochitl Gonzalez

Reviews Done Quick At first, I thought I was in for a light-hearted novel ala Jennifer Lopez’s The Wedding Planner. However, it took a quick serious turn and drew me in almost immediately. Xóchitl González’s writing is lyrical and with the combination of the audiobook’s narration, I found myself listening to parts over again. Olga […]

Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dahl

Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dahl

I loved this book when I was in 3rd grade. I thought poppycock was the greatest word ever invented and used it constantly. Mr. Fox and his lack of tail always made me laugh and held my breath when he became trapped in his home. Roald Dahl is a genius storyteller.

Audiobook Review: Reckless Girls by Rachel Hawkins

Reading Progress Reckless Girls is an interesting, modern-day take on Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None. Review in bullet points: Rachel Hawkins takes care in the development of the goings-on on the island and like Lost each passenger has a unique backstory before they arrived on the island. I really liked this as it […]

Mini Review I read this for my book club with very low expectations, thinking it may be too spiritual or inspirational for me. Know my reading preference I was right. the five people you meet in heaven were a little too pull at the heartstrings for me and was trying too hard to mimic plot […]

Audiobook Review: A Mind of Her Own by Paula Mclain

Audiobook Review: A Mind of Her Own by Paula Mclain

Posted October 15, 2021 by Whitney in Review / 2 Comments

Review in Bulletpoints: For such a short audiobook Paula Mclain has written a novel packed full of punch The subject matter of a female scientist is always interesting to me. However, I appreciated that the language was written in a way that anyone could decifer the sciencey lingo. Hillary Huber was a new narrator to […]
