It feels so weird to say this but the first quarter of 2024 is officially over. I have a feeling that if I sat down to look at raw numbers and goals for March alone I would be sadly disappointed in myself. So, we’re going to look at March AND the first quarter. That seems... Continue Reading →
As of today, I officially have 140 books on my TBR.
September is over and fall is officially here (in my part of the world, anyway). Of course our temperatures are still dancing around the 100 degree (Fahrenheit) mark despite the shelves at stores being full of pumpkin flavoring and all things orange colored. Sometimes, it’s hard to believe we’re already in October. Never-the-less that means... Continue Reading →
One of these months I’ll manage to post to this blog regularly for things BESIDES just analyzing how I did during the month. Apparently, August 2023 was not that time. I keep telling myself I’m going to post to social media more, actually film some of the (amazing, if I say so myself) TikToks I... Continue Reading →
You Shouldn’t Have Come Here by Jeneva Rose A Mystery/Thriller, 2023 by Blackstone Publishing, 350 Pages What I Didn’t Like: That opening scene was a LOT like the opener to the Urban Legends movie. That’s not the last cliche thing in this book, either. The book starts like a romance novel with everything that drives... Continue Reading →
Gearteeth by Timothy Black A Fantasy, 2012 by Dreamsphere, 411 Pages What I Didn’t Like: Weird formatting, which won’t affect my rating but did affect the readability. The chapter breaks don’t register in a Kindle and there’s no table of contents to use to judge chapter length. Also, there was a break in the middle... Continue Reading →
Well, July is over. We’re officially, inarguably, into the late half of 2023. Shocking, right? It’s time to take a look at what I managed to get done in July and make plans for moving forward in August. Let’s talk goals. If you’ve been following along with the blog then you already know that for... Continue Reading →
The Terminal List by Jack Carr A Mystery/Thriller, 2018 by Atria, 408 Pages What I Didn’t Like: Very detailed descriptions. This isn’t a negative for everyone, I know. But if you don’t like very wordy paragraphs packed with tons of details, consider this a content warning. Torture, which is a content warning of sorts. It... Continue Reading →
The Innocent One by Lisa Ballantyne A Mystery/Thriller, 2022 by Pegasus Crime, 352 Pages What I Didn’t Like: A little predictable and sort of similar to a lot out there in the way the ending played out. I wanted something more unique than I got. The pacing is not consistent throughout the story. The middle... Continue Reading →
I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson YA Contemporary, 2014 by Dial Books, 371 Pages What I Didn’t Like: Jarring switch between chapter 1 and chapter 2. You seriously feel like you missed so much you’re almost in a different world. Of course, I think that was the point. But it’s jarring. REALLY long... Continue Reading →
