The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton Book Review
The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is a debut breakout novel from Stuart Turton. I first encountered the book at my local B&N and was pulled toward the 1920’s Art Deco styling on the cover. The blurb from the cover fold captured my attention. I had to know more. Hook. Line. Sinker. Evelyn Hardcastle will…

Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas Book Review
Kingdom of Ash is the final book in the epic Throne of Glass series by Sarah J.

A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles Book Review
Multiple award nominee and New York Times bestseller, A Gentleman in Moscow is a literary feast for hearty appetites. There is something about the winter months that makes us want to curl up with the thickest tomes under a pile of blankets, tucked away in the recliner beside a roaring fire. (Isn’t this something Count Rostov contemplated?)…

Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet by Darynda Jones Book Review
Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet is the fourth book in the Charley Davidson series, an urban paranormal fantasy featuring a hilariously cheeky private investigator who also happens to be the Grim Reaper.

It could have been forgotten while fading away into obscurity with new generations of books to take its place in shock value, but that seems impossible for the time being because of Stanley…

The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman Book Review
What better way to end a year than to be curled up in bed with Neil Gaiman? (Hey, a girl can dream.) He might not have been there in body, but I was all tangled up in his mind. Good enough for me. This time, I snuggled up with The Ocean at the End of…

A Resolution, A Vow, and Mini Reviews
I’m back. It’s been a while. And I’ve so missed my book-loving community. My hiatus was caused by a very positive, absolutely wonderful career turn. I build websites for businesses, mostly in the scientific community, but it’s always a struggle to find new clients. Until the beginning of this year. I was accepted into Upwork,…

Bird Box by Josh Malerman Book Review
Bird Box is a post-apocalyptic horror novel that’ll keep you up all night after you’ve finished the book – in terror. In this book there are things out there that you cannot see, that you MUST not see. If you venture outside without a blindfold, you will see “it” and “it” will see you, and…
