Book Review: The Hate U Give

Add this to the pile of "Books I Should Have Read Sooner and Now am Kicking Myself for Not Doing it." I'll be honest, one of the reasons why I put this book off for so long is I was worried it was going to be so sad I wouldn't be able to get through …

Book Review: City of Ghosts

Here's a review I thought I already wrote. OOPS! I guess I know not to try to upkeep my blog during a move. An unwritten reading goal of mine for 2019 is to finally read all of Victoria/V.E. Schwab's work, and play catch up -- well try to at least.  So far, I've read Vicious, …

Book Review: Black Klansman

Black Klansman centers around Ron Stallworth, the first black cop in 1970s Colorado Springs, undercover investigation into the Colorado Ku Klux Klan chapter.

Book Review: Kitchen Confidential

Two book reviews in one week?! Whaaaaat? Don't get used to this 😉 this is a one off, a fluke. Write this date down in your calendars because it might never happen again.  I've owned a copy of Kitchen Confidential for a while now, and I've tried to read it a couple of times, but …

Book Review: Gmorning, Gnight

Gmorning, Gnight by Lin-Manuel Miranda is by far the cutest and most adorable thing I have read all year. I was looking for a quick break into some of the longer books I was reading and decided to check this out from my local library. At only 200 pages it is very easy to read …

This book was so much fun to read! Feminist's Don't Wear Pink and Other Lies is a collection of essays curated by Scarlett Curtis by women from all walks of life - to actresses, activists, comedians, and writers. Some essays are obviously better than others, but overall this was an enjoyable read. The essays are short enough that …

Book Review: I’ll Be Gone in The Dark

I'll Be Gone in the Dark tells the story of the Golden State Killer. It was written by Michelle McNamara, the woman behind True Crime Diary, a true crime website dedicated to solving cold cases.  I am so bummed I didn't know about True Crime Diary before Michelle passed away. I went on there after I read I'll …

Book Review: The Death of Mrs. Westaway

"It was a scratch on the glass--in fact, more than one. It was writing." HELP ME.    WOW. This book. I had never read anything by Ruth Ware, but I did pick up her The Woman in Cabin 10 book a while ago at one of my local bookstores. I will definitely be reading that soon …
