How the f**k did I miss this series when it came out?!? I mean… I know how. I stopped reading for a few years. I’m not kidding. Life happens sometimes and 2011-2014 life happened hard and I stopped reading. I didn’t really pick up a book again until 2017. Considering how many books I’m readingContinue reading “Throne of Glass – Book Review – No Spoilers”

If you don’t know, two books have recently come out with part of the plot focusing on the same thing in the same time, mid-1930s and the Kentucky pack horse librarians.

The Dutch House – Book Review – No Spoilers
Fantastic narration by Tom Hanks!!! I don’t usually listen to fiction books on audio. I would rather read them and listen to memoirs or nonfictions. When I found out that Tom Hanks was narrating this one, I decided to listen to it instead of reading it. I am so glad that I did! His performanceContinue reading “The Dutch House – Book Review – No Spoilers”
Deep Play – Book Review
I was not a fan. Deep Play was written by Dianne Ackerman, published April 1999 by Random House. In chapter six, she mentions that poetry is where she started and you can tell. Words are her medium and she wields the brush with a heavy hand. Because of that, I did not enjoy the book.Continue reading “Deep Play – Book Review”
Dreams from My Father – Book Review
If you had told me eight years ago that I would one day read one of Obama’s books, I would have told you that you were full of shit. I voted for Romney. I voted for McCain four years prior to that. I was proud to be a Republican although I’ve never believed in oneContinue reading “Dreams from My Father – Book Review”

What a beautiful book. So, so beautiful. This book will definitely be in my top 10 books for the year. My mom found this book and suggested it for our in real life book club.

Truth or Beard – Book Review – No Spoilers
This book was not for me. I read it, but I was not impressed. Not even as a guilty pleasure. Truth or Beard by Penny Reid was published July 2015 by Caped Publishing. The copy I read was an ebook copy that I got from my library. I chose it because it fit a ‘cheese’Continue reading “Truth or Beard – Book Review – No Spoilers”
