“You’re so busy looking forward to what is to come that you’re missing what you have in the here and now.” This one came up as a recommendation in KU and is well-reviewed, and I’m not sure I can say much more about the book that you can’t read in any other positive reviews. While… Continue reading Impossible to Forget, Imogen Clark

Opium and Absinthe, Lydia Kang
As this book is well-reviewed, I don't have tons more to add that other people haven't already said. I loved the slow build-up of the storyline. I liked Tillie's persistence in everything she did. From writing Nelly to pushing back against her mother and grandmother, she never stopped striving to find justice for her sister.… Continue reading Opium and Absinthe, Lydia Kang
Insomnia, Sarah Pinborough
I won this in a Goodreads giveaway and started it the second arrived. I didn't put it down until 3 hours later when I turned the last page. The thing that drew me to the book is the title and subject, especially considering I've had chronic insomnia for 30 years. I know what it's like… Continue reading Insomnia, Sarah Pinborough

Unreviewed Books
I realized that in all my shoulder issues recently, that I haven't shared unreviewed books with everyone in a while. Some of the books on this list are poetry and a few DNFs. The first three are poetry books. I've found this post is such a mixed bag, that it will be easier to link… Continue reading Unreviewed Books
R.I.P. Eliza Hart, Alyssa B. Sheinmel
I became a fan of Sheinmel last year, so I snagged a few of her paperbacks, and have been working my way through her back catalog. I had more issues with this book than some of her other work because I didn’t care for the main character, Ellie. I usually can deal with unlikeable characters,… Continue reading R.I.P. Eliza Hart, Alyssa B. Sheinmel
No Filter and Other Lies, Crystal Maldonado
I got this in the B&N preorder sale because I had read Fat Chance Charlie Vega last year and fell in love. Unfortunately, this one came with a few issues for me. The first is that Kat is a pretty horrible person. Her mother is absolute garbage. While Kat has supportive grandparents, the fact they… Continue reading No Filter and Other Lies, Crystal Maldonado
Daughter of the Moon Goddess, Sue Lynn Tan
“Was the fleeting joy worth the sorrow that came after?” I don’t know how to review this book! It’s everything special and incredible in the fantasy genre. The infused mythology makes this such a magical read. Xingyin is the strongest of heroines, one that you will cheer on from the very start. She is tested… Continue reading Daughter of the Moon Goddess, Sue Lynn Tan
