The Lies I Tell by Julie Clark
This book was very good. The writing was excellent. I really enjoyed her other novel “The Last Flight” as well. I had a hard time putting this book down! It was a bit predictable though but still enjoyable. It was definitely a slow burn. This book has two perspectives: Kat and Meg (basically the cat Read more

Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak
I thought it was more of a thriller when I picked this book up. It crosses between horror and thriller/mystery. The scariest part of the book was the drawings. I had to read with a light on! But it was not a traditional horror, mystery, or thriller. It combined a lot of elements of all Read more

Review of “The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston
What a unique plot. I do not usually read books like this. I am not a supernatural fan. I picked it up because it was more in-depth than just seeing ghosts. This book dealt with topics about family, grief, love, and moving forward. I really enjoyed reading it. I really liked the characters in the Read more

Review of “Once There Were Wolves” by Charlotte McConaghy
I really enjoyed the first half of the book but felt like the last half was very slow. But overall, it was great. It was beautifully written as well. Some of the scenery descriptions were so detailed that I felt like I was there! I have to admit that I was not sure that I Read more

Review of “The Lioness” by Chris Bohjalian
I really liked the unique plot. I will never read something like this again! It is also a unique setting. It is set in Africa (Serengeti) in the 1960s. In this novel, the land, animals, and people can kill you. I would classify this novel as a Historical fiction thriller. I thought at first that Read more

Review “This Time Tomorrow” by Emma Straub
I really enjoyed the plot. It was very unique. It was also beautifully written. I love time travel books too! This time travel was more like 13 Going on 30 than Back to the Future (if you get my drift). She is 40 years old and wakes up being 16 years old again. But her Read more

Review “Yes Please” by Amy Poehler
This book is funny. I think that is the part that I liked the most. It was not the honest and raw book that I was expecting. Although, she does discuss a skit that she felt bad about on SNL. She issued an apology for it. But for the most part, this is not the Read more

Review “Mean Baby” by Selma Blair
I rated this book s 3.5 to 4-star review. I have to attempt, I am not a fan of Selma. I picked this book up, because I thought it would be an interesting read. I do follow her on Instagram. She has inspired many people with her incredible story of strength. After reading this memoir, Read more
