Just Like Magic, Sarah Hogle
“I’ve always known Mariah Carey was powerful, so her ability to summon the personification of festive cheer honestly tracks.” Okay, so even though I was initially annoyed with Bettie, that quote made me like her because I didn’t have to spend endless chapters of her in denial. It also made me like Hogle even more… Continue reading Just Like Magic, Sarah Hogle
Under the Whispering Door, TJ Klune
“Bravery meant the possibility of death. And wasn’t that funny? Because it took being dead for Wallace to finally be brave.” I think this review will end up being a whole lot of favorite quotes from the book and less of a review. Because for me, this is a timely and sometimes difficult read as… Continue reading Under the Whispering Door, TJ Klune
Part of Your World, Abby Jimenez
Poor Alexis. Her ex and her parents are absolute garbage. Unfortunately, most of her friends are garbage too. I can understand the desire to please your parents, but at what cost?

Sweet Sweet Revenge Ltd, Jonas Jonasson
I am a huge Jonasson fan. I’ve read and loved every one of his books. So for me, it is super exciting that he has a new book releasing, and I’m incredibly lucky to have received an advanced copy. This book feels vastly different from his other books. It still has a unique level of… Continue reading Sweet Sweet Revenge Ltd, Jonas Jonasson
Something Wilder, Christina Lauren
For someone who chose to live in the woods for 5 months in my youth, this book sounded right up my alley. I’m a fan of surviving and exploration, so Lily is a girl after my own heart. Her walls are thick; she’s had to learn to build them since childhood. But, unfortunately, walls are… Continue reading Something Wilder, Christina Lauren
A Man Called Ove, Fredrik Backman
In 2020, I was lucky enough to receive Anxious People as an ARC. That was my first book of Backman’s, and I was blown away, so of course, I want to work my way through his back catalog. However, I don’t think any review could do A Man Called Ove justice. Both funny and heartbreaking,… Continue reading A Man Called Ove, Fredrik Backman

When I did a quick skim, there were so many fantastic reads that I knew that once again, I would have to break my favorite reads into genres and multiple days. So this will be a… Continue reading Favorite Reads 2021- Part 1: Literary, Historical Fiction, and More
Cryptonalia, Patrick Canning
Don't forget your socks Wow, just wow. For a hot minute, I was thinking of just writing 50 wows for this review and leaving it at that. I don’t think I have the words to do this book justice, but I will try, if not through a meandering path, which quite honestly suits the game… Continue reading Cryptonalia, Patrick Canning
