What I've been reading lately: If you enjoy realistic historical fiction, then I highly suggest The Last Bookshop in London. The story follows a young woman who reluctantly takes a job at a local bookstore, but comes to love the shop as she falls in love with reading all over again. **This book really hit… Continue reading My Week (2.27.22)

What I've been reading lately: Gentleman from Moscow is hilarious! It is a delightfully quirky story of a Russian aristocrat who basically is forced to stay at an upscale hotel for the rest of his life or face execution by the Bolsheviks. It doesn't sound funny, but he has a great sense of humor and… Continue reading My Week (2.7.2022)

What I've been reading: Never Let Me Go was highly recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. The story is so eerie because it could totally happen today. The book follows a group of friends who are a part of a program that grows organs for other people by cloning "donors". Sadly the… Continue reading My Week (12.1.2021)

What I've been reading lately: I really enjoyed this mystery. It was the perfect amount of creepy without being to scary. The story follows a college professor who is writing a biography on an obscure gothic novelist with a dark past who just happened to live at the college she works at. Everything is going… Continue reading My Week (10.17.21)

What I've been reading lately: I finally diagnosed myself, I am a "theme" reader. Over the past few months I have been reading tons of mystery/murder books (like 17 of the last 25 books I have read have been that genre) and I loved it, but something flipped in my brain. Now I am on… Continue reading My Week (9.19.21)

What I've been reading lately: I've been on a spooky book kick lately. This week I read We Have Always Lived in the Castle and am currently reading The Haunting of Hill House. I will say that Shirley Jackson has a twisted but brilliant mind! The first book has to be the darkest, eeriest book… Continue reading My Week (8.22.2021)

What I've been reading lately: I really liked this book. I somehow missed seeing the movie so maybe that helped me to like the book better?? This book tells the story of two travelers who are stranded in an airport due to an oncoming blizzard and make the fateful decision to charter a plane to… Continue reading My Week (6.21.21)

What I've been reading lately: I have been reading a ton of books lately. Most of them have been 3 out of 4 stars for me so that is a big plus. How do I rate my books? 1 star are books that I did not finish because they were poorly written, too graphic, too… Continue reading My Week (5.24.2021)

What I have been reading lately: Besides the gobs of historical romances I have been reading lately (so many!!) I did throw in a mystery/thriller to keep my life interesting. Then She Was Gone was terrifying and probably the creepiest book I have read in a long time. The story follows the abduction of a… Continue reading My Week (4.27.2021)
Our Week 4.1.2021
What I've been reading lately: I have read two really good books lately. What do I mean when I say "really good books"? They are books that engross me so much that I read them within two days even if they are terribly long. Fun fact: I read the last Harry Potter book the same… Continue reading Our Week 4.1.2021
