An Update on My Reading Challenges
Hello and happy Sunday. I feel like it’s time to check on the reading challenges I said I would continue taking on this year. For this, I’ll copy and paste the titles I’d listed in a previous post, and update the information. Do They Hold Up? Read/DNFed Fire With Fire Sunkissed In Waiting Any Way…

My Thoughts on Wuthering Heights
Hello and happy Saturday. I know this post is coming super late to the whole Wuthering Heights party, but honestly it has nothing to do with my planning in advance. The opposite really sort of happened, and even though I watched the movie as soon as it came out and started reading the book right…

NetGallet Review of The Water Women by Bonnie Blaylock
I must admit that it took me a while to get into this book, but once I did, I absolutely loved it. This tells the story of four generations of Jewish women who live in a coastal town in Italy and who dedicate their lives to weaving. It sounds whimsical, but it’s really not, since…

NetGalley Review of 200 Monas by Jan Saenz
I think this will be one of my favorite books I read this year. It kept me entertained all throughout, and though it was a bit absurd, I liked it. It also gave me ‘The Conditions of Will’ vibes, and that was one of my favorite novels I read last year. I think if I…

My Thoughts on Over and Over by Becky Hunter
I generally didn’t like this story. I understand the concept of people living multiple lives and I’ve read my fair share of Brian Weiss on the subject. This, I think tried to be very original, and it ultimately failed. I don’t know if it’s the book’s or my problem, but I don’t feel compelled to…

NetGalley Review of Shy Girl By Mia Ballard
I think this is one of those books that people will either love or hate. I belong to the first group. We know from the get-go that this is a disturbing read that might not be suitable for some readers, and the author delivered on that warning. Basically, we follow a woman who gets somewhat…

NetGalley Review of Sex, Lies, and Online Dating Dating by Rachel Gibson
This felt like watching one of those 2010s Lifetime movies about people in their 30s online dating. There’s more to that, of course, since the main character is a mystery writer and is using an online service to get inspiration for her next book about a female serial killer, and her love interest is a…

NetGalley Review of Without a Clue by Melissa Ferguson
I really enjoyed this audiobook, and I think I would’ve also had a fun time had I read it with my eyes. The main character is an aspiring murder mystery author works as the personal assistant/community manager for this group of writers, and as part of her job she’s organized this cruise in which readers…

Monthly TBR
Hello and happy Sunday. This is going to be a heavy reading month for me, and you’ll see when below in the TBR list I’ve put together. There’s one book from last month I didn’t get to, so I’ll add it here, and the other three titles are classics. I’ll obviously be going over other…

Hello and happy Saturday. Last month was a good one for me all around, and as you can see, that includes reading. I finished ten titles at the time of the monthly wrap, and I’m here to list them for you. -The List by Siobhan Vivian -Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur -The Survivor…
