As soon as I finished The Push I wanted to read more by Ashley Audrain. With The Whispers Audrain did not disappoint. It may sound odd but I think the best way to describe the novel’s slow burn of a plot is to liken it to the film Titanic. From the beginning, we know the […]
I think the best way to describe The Last Thing He Told Me would be to compare it to a trainwreck. It started out fine and (somewhat) harmless but it slowly started to go off the tracks. The gist of the story is that Owen goes on the run after the company he works for […]
Bite-Sized Review: Despite having read the book and knowing the plot Sharp Objects still had me on the seat of my chair. It is a series I wish I could see again for the first time. It is dark, secretive, and has the creepiest, perfect pacing. Amy Adams and Eliza Scanlen play off each other […]
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? […]

Like in The Witch of Painted Sorrows, the first book of The Daughters of La Lune series, M.J. Rose created a mystical setting in Paris that one can only […]
I saw the movie first with a group of friends and enjoyed it so much I checked it out at the library later that week. I was presently surprised how little they left out in the film. Atonement was a throughly enjoying book, it was a little slow at times but overall very good. The […]
Like all books or movies that have a tragic ending the story begins with Janie Johnson having a perfect life, loving friends and family, good grades and a crush on the boy next door. All around Janie comes off as the average “girl next door”. But her world comes crashing down when lactose intolerant Janie […]
First Impressions Sarah’s Key by Tatiana De Rosnay was incredibly sad and no matter how fictional tears your heart. Impressions While Reading First, I thought Tatiana de Rosnay did a good job describing the backdrop of that time in history. She excelled in getting the point across of these horrid times. Through Julia, we get […]
