However, I always seem to find the time to read Cor Rotto by Adrienne Dillard one more time. Today, I read Cor Rotto for the second time this year, and … Continue reading Book Review: Cor Rotto by Adrienne Dillard
Sequel Soapbox: Doctor Sleep
If you follow me on Twitter, you’ve probably seen multiple tweets expressing my hesitation to buy Doctor Sleep, a continuation by Stephen King of The Shining.

Book Review: Untethered by Julie Lawson Timmer
God bless whoever decided to put books in Dollar Tree! A few months ago, I woke up to a very rainy Sunday morning.

Book Review: The Creation of Anne Boleyn by Susan Bordo
The Creation of Anne Boleyn by Susan Bordo can be described in two phrases: Well-researchedLong-winded I’ve been a fan of Tudor history for several years, and the relationship between Katherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn has been one of my pet subjects of interest.

The Golden Rule of Reading

The Department for Mutated Persons by Robert R. Fike presents a frightening alternative future for the United States, masterfully exploring the ageless conundrum of “Us vs. Them” in a story that reminds me equally of The X-Men and Insurgent (sequel to Divergent).

Time to Scroll? Time to Read!
One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone says they “don’t have time” to read. “Oh, I love reading – I just don’t have the time anymore! I’m so busy.” And to a point, I get it – work, kids, having a household, marriage, and all those other adult responsibilities can really get in … Continue reading Time to Scroll? Time to Read!

Autobiographies and memoirs have always been my favorites genre.
