Review Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing had been on my radar for a while but, I didn’t pick up the audiobook until Matthew Perry’s death. It did feel like a friend had passed, and I wanted to learn more about him. I have mixed feelings about this memoir. Matthew Perry is brutally honest […]
Reading Progress Review Siren Queen had an interesting premise however it was very slow going. I felt like the author was trying to do too much with the plot. A magical realism, historical novel set in pre-code Hollywood is a tall order and, unfortunately, it fell short. Luli, our Esther Blodgettesque character never fully developed […]
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 […]
Reader, I murdered her. The Wife Upstairs is all over the place. Is it gothic, a rom-com, or a thriller? In truth, it is probably all three. Being a retelling of Jane Eyre, the novel had a lot to live up to. Rachel Hawkins made sure to have parallels for the Jane Eyre fan to recognize […]
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 […]
C.S. Lewis was once quoted as saying “You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” I couldn’t agree more. a nice cup of tea or coffee pairs perfectly with a good book. The objective is quite simple; I’ll share what book I’m reading as well […]
My tbr is getting out of control. It is time take action and remind myself of all those goodies and on my shelf. To get motivated I started a meme, To Be Read Thursday. Each week, I will highlight one book that I physically own, be it arc, bought, paperback or ebook and is on […]
Reading Progress Review The Silent Patient has gotten so much hype since its publication. There is now a movie in development. I had to see what all the fuss was about. Truth be told, The Silent Patient is a slow build. It is a novel you have to stick with but, the reader will be […]

Goodreads Progress Mini Review: Z: a novel of Zelda Fitzgerald was the first book I read by Therese Anne Fowler and I’m sure it won’t be my last. The author chose an interesting subject. Zelda’s story drew me in and, with help from the writing I felt like I was there with her. Jenna Lamia […]
