Review: Kisscut by Karin Slaughter is the second book in the Grant County series, following Blindsighted. I thought that one was WHOA intense, but this one is intense in a different way entirely. Again, very gritty. And again, tough to read in several parts. But this one has crimes involving children and young people and I felt […]
Review: I’ve been dying to read Accidentally On Purpose by Jill Shalvis since I started binge-reading the Heartbreaker Bay Series last week. I’ve read all of the books and novellas so far, in order, with the exception of this one because I’ve enjoyed Elle and Archer so much throughout the series. I have to say that while […]
Review: The Trouble with Mistletoe by Jill Shalvis is a quick read, very cute. I liked it more than the previous book, Sweet Little Lies, because there isn’t a huge “secret that can change destroy everything.” This book features Willa and Keane. While each of the books in this series are technically standalones, I love reading […]
Review: I’m convinced that any book by Jill Shalvis is perfect when I need a break from the real world. Sweet Little Lies was not my favorite of hers, but it was good. Pru’s darn secret just kept me from loving it as much as I wanted to. In true Shalvis fashion, she’s given us […]
Review: The Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean Auel is incredible. Ayla is about 5 years old when a massive earthquake leaves her motherless and alone. She is found by a group of Neanderthals and adopted into their Clan. As a child born to the Others (a Cro Magnon group living in another area), […]
Review: I’ve finally read my first Karin Slaughter book: YAY! Honestly, I never would have picked up this book based on this older cover – it just doesn’t call out to me – but I kept seeing Karin Slaughter’s name over and over, and I’d heard that I needed to start at the very beginning with […]
Why I Read It: I hadn’t heard of the Weathermages of Mystral Series until my friend Lauren mentioned the upcoming second book to me. The series sounded so good that I grabbed The Winter King before our discussion was over. (Thank you for recommending this one to me, Lauren!) Now that I’ve finished, I’m dying for […]
Why I Read It: I fell in love with this book cover – I absolutely love it. But I also was interested in the story of a woman living in the shadow of her famous husband. How the heck is this even possible? It seems like a far-fetched thing today, but for women back in the […]
Why I read It: I’ve had my eye on Underground Airlines by Ben H. Winters since I first heard about it, way back before it was published. But thriller/mystery/suspense books aren’t my go-to reads. I had to work myself up to it. I finally checked this one out from the library in both book and audiobook […]
why i read it: I chose to read Miss Match by Laurelin McGee because I was in the middle of another book with heavier themes at the time and while I was enjoying it, I witnessed a tragic car accident and it made a pretty big impact on me. I was stuck in the traffic, watching […]
