The Last Mrs Parrish

The Last Mrs Parrish

Review The Last Mrs Parrish started out strong. It dropped breadcrumbs I eagerly picked up in my quest to learn what Amber’s motive was.  Sadly, that trail quickly dried up and I began sighing like Bella Swan in Twilight.  The novel became like any other domestic thriller.  However, despite the fact that the plot had […]

The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder

The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder

First Impressions I had not read The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder in a long time and had forgotten what a classic children’s book it was.  Like The Force Awakens, The Long Winter felt like a throwback to the earlier books.  It was like an old friend had come home. Impressions While Reading Laura, […]

Overall, I enjoyed The Luxe series but even after a week to reflect on the conclusion I’m still unsure how I feel about it. But one thing I have agreed upon is the universal theme of unrequited love. No matter how you spin it the ending of the Diana/Henry romance will satisfy a very small […]

Review: The Bad Seed

Review: The Bad Seed

“Later that summer, when Mrs. Penmark looked back and remembered, when she was caught up in despair so deep that she knew there was no way out, no solution whatever for the circumstances that encompassed her, it seemed to her that June seventh, the day of the Fern Grammer School picnic, was the last day […]

Review: To Kill A Mockingbird

Review: To Kill A Mockingbird

To Kill A Mockingbird is a coming of age story, but the focus is not on raging hormones.  Harper Lee’s novel deals with prejudice of race and financial standing, rape and the battle of good against evil, showcasing that life is not always fair or as black and white as it appears to be. The […]
