Book Review: Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy
I am not much of a contemporary YA reader, however I fell in love with the trailer for Dumplin’ on Netflix. I watched the film and absolutely adored it, so I naturally decided to read the book that it is based on. For me, this is one of those rare instances of the film adaptation… Continue reading

Book Review: The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley
I’ve been on the hunt for a great thriller ever since finishing up The Girl on the Train back in 2015. I don’t read thrillers to often, but the ones I’ve read lately have felt like a letdown. Enter The Hunting Party, a twisted tale of murder amongst friends in the Scottish highlands. I was… Continue reading

Book Review: Empire of Sand by Tasha Suri
Empire of Sand was one of my most highly anticipated books of 2018. It sounded like it would be the perfect book for me — it ticks so many of my reader boxes. When I finally got my hands on a copy, however, I found that the reading experience wasn’t quite what I had expected. Continue reading

Book Review: Pages and Co. by Anna James

The Library of Fates is a book I hadn’t heard much about, but the lovely cover stuck firmly in my mind. When I had the chance to borrow the book from a friend, I snapped up the opportunity. While I enjoyed The Library of Fates, I felt like it didn’t quite live up to its… Continue reading

Book Review: Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson
Warbreaker was the only adult Brandon Sanderson novel I hadn’t read yet (until Oathbringer came out, that is), and I have no idea why I never bothered to pick it up. Going in, I didn’t even know what it as about because I trust Sanderson enough to jump in without reading the synopsis. So imagine… Continue reading

Book Review: The Lake House by Kate Morton
I always say that I love historical fiction, however I so rarely read for it. When my sister Julia and I started our podcast You’re Never Going to Read This, I knew I was going to be recommended a fair amount of historical fiction. The Lake House was indeed one of Julia’s pick for me,… Continue reading

Book Review: A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi
I rarely read contemporary YA — in fact, I have only read five contemporary YA books this year — but somtimes one really catches my eye. This was the case with A Very Large Expanse of Sea, Tahereh Mafi’s semi-autobiographical novel of life as an American Muslim teen one year after 9/11. Having read and… Continue reading

Despite the fact that it hasn’t been released yet, you may have already heard buzz about The Silent Patient. Set to be one of the biggest thriller debuts of 2019, this book has so much hype surrounding it already. I can’t claim to be an expert on the thrillers, but I absolutely love reading them… Continue reading
