Book Review: “The House in the Cerulean Sea” by TJ Klune
Add on Goodreads “A home isn't always the house we live in. It's also the people we choose to surround ourselves with.” A magical island. A dangerous task. A burning secret. Linus Baker leads a quiet, solitary life. At forty, he lives in a tiny house with a devious cat and his old records. As [...]
August 2020 Reading Wrap-Up
Can you believe 2020 is over halfway over? This year has simultaneously gone by at a painfully slow pace and also faster than any year ever has. I think it’s because everything is happening all the time. Has this affected my reading? Probably. I feel like I’ve started reading a lot slower than I used [...]
June 2020 Reading Wrap-Up
Well, Pride Month is over. Now it’s Wrath Month. Just kidding… mostly. Anyway, I bring that up because I read exclusively queer books this June (with one exception). I’m really proud of my reading because I feel like I really read diversely as well. As a cis white lesbian, it’s important to not just read [...]
Book Review: “The City We Became” by N.K. Jemisin
Add on Goodreads “Great cities are like any other living things, being born and maturing and wearying and dying in their turn.” Every city has a soul. Some are as ancient as myths, and others are as new and destructive as children. New York City? She's got five. But every city also has a dark [...]
Book Review: “Something to Talk About” by Meryl Wilsner
Add on Goodreads "Do you think maybe the rumors about you two might have a point? One that maybe you didn't realize before?" Hollywood powerhouse Jo is photographed making her assistant Emma laugh on the red carpet, and just like that, the tabloids declare them a couple. The so-called scandal couldn't come at a worse [...]
Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag: 2020 Edition!
So… 2020 is nearly halfway over. It feels like it’s been five years crammed into six months. And it’s not done yet! Of course, being the middle of the year, it’s time once again to do the Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag. This is my fourth year doing this tag. It’s fascinating to see my [...]
Book Review: “The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue” by V.E. Schwab (ARC)
Add on Goodreads ***Thank you to Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.*** “What is a person, if not the marks they leave behind?” France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets. [...]
May 2020 Reading Wrap-Up
So this is going to be a quick wrap-up. I only read three books this month and they were all from the same series. And they were all rereads. Well, I also read some of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab but I haven’t finished it yet. Still, may was the month [...]
April 2020 Reading Wrap-Up
April is the month I got my reading groove back. Well, sort of. The last two books I read I flew through. Not to jinx anything, but I may be becoming the reader I used to be. Root for me, y’all. In April, I read three novels (one of which was an ARC) and two [...]
