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 read: This week I read The Golem and the Jinni. (I was very lucky to find another great book to read on the library's e-book system!) I first heard about this book on the What Should I Read Next? podcast and it sounded interesting. The story follows a golem and a jinni as… Continue reading Weekly Recap (4.12.2020)

What I read: This week I read Far Far Away by Tom McNeal. First off I have to admit that this author is extremely, extremely talented. He somehow managed to make this modern day story feel like it was set in the medieval fairy tale era. I also loved how he used the ghost of… Continue reading Weekly Recap (4.6.2020)

What I read: This week I have been reading All the Light We Cannot See. I generally love reading all fiction and nonfiction books related to WWII and this book was no exception. If you have read The Nightingale and liked it, then you probably would enjoy this book as well. Both books are extremely… Continue reading Weekly Recap (3.30.2020)

What I read: This week I read a couple of books, the first was The Read Aloud Family. I have discovered the amazing world of podcasts over the past few weeks (yes, I am behind the times!) One of my newest discoveries is The Read Aloud Revival podcast by Sarah MacKenzie. She is a homeschooling… Continue reading Weekly Recap (March 20, 2020)

What I read: This week I am reading The Language of Bees by Laurie King. I have enjoyed this book so much. The interesting thing about this series is that each book seems totally different. Some of the books I have loved and others I have skimmed through or just quit reading all together. A… Continue reading Weekly Recap (March 6, 2020)

What I read: This week I am reading The Game by Laurie R. King. Luckily my library has almost all of the books in this series, so I will be reading Ms. King's work for awhile. Emma (15 years old) finished The Light Between Oceans (and came sobbing into my room after she read it....this… Continue reading Weekly Recap (2/28/2020)

  What I read: This week I read The Wednesday Wars, Ready Player One (I really tried to like this book, but it was just so boring to me), and I am currently reading The Murder of Mary Russell (which I am loving!) The Wednesday Wars is a YA fiction book. It is set during… Continue reading Weekly Recap (2/21/2020)

    What I read: This week I read The Light Between Oceans, The Beekeeper's Apprentice, and am currently reading Before the Fall. A lot of people have recommended The Light Between Oceans to me over the years, so when I saw it in our library's used book room for $.25, I figured I should… Continue reading Weekly Recap (2/15/2020)

What I read: This week, I read Dreaming Spies by Laurie King. My library's eBook lending system only had the later books available, so I started at book 13 (which so happens to be one of her best apparently) The series is about a young woman named Mary Russell who is married to the great… Continue reading Weekly Recap (Feb. 7, 2020)
