It has been an age since I've shared my TBR. It's been so hard getting back into the swing of life that I've been doing the bare minimum. But I'm excited to share with you what I plan on reading this month because there are a lot of good books I will be tackling, so… Continue reading November TBR

The Last Chairlift, John Irving
“When you love someone who’s different, you worry about them more-you’re always looking out for them.” I don’t think any review I may write could do this book justice. The Cider House Rules and The Hotel New Hampshire are two of my favorite reads. I love John Irving’s storytelling style and that his books are… Continue reading The Last Chairlift, John Irving
The Count of Monte Cristo, Alexandre Dumas
I’m not one for reviewing classics. What can I add to the conversation of a book that has been reviewed, discussed, and dissected for decades? This year, I have made it my quest to read books that have sat on my shelves for too long. Or books that I’ve always wanted to read. I’ve even… Continue reading The Count of Monte Cristo, Alexandre Dumas
Unreviewed Books
I've been reading a ton of manga lately because life has done what life does, and it lifed. Manga has been the easiest for me to focus on right now, so most of these unreviewed books are just that. Dream Work, Mary OliverPoetryGoodreads, Amazon, Bookshop, B&N This was a quick read for me, I give… Continue reading Unreviewed Books
How You Grow Wings, Rimma Onoseta
Set in Nigeria, Cheta and Zam live in an abusive home, though Zam has it much easier than Cheta, who is often at the end of her mother's wrath. That cycle has created a divide between the sisters, and Zam, who is meek, and refuses to speak up, can't seem to make her sister happy.… Continue reading How You Grow Wings, Rimma Onoseta

Dreaming of Flight, Catherine Ryan Hyde
This might be a tricky review to write, as it would be easy to spoil certain aspects of the book. I would recommend not reading reviews before reading this, but you’re here now, so at least read this one. What an emotional book! Stewie is an exceptional boy. He’s faced so much loss in his… Continue reading Dreaming of Flight, Catherine Ryan Hyde
The Light Through the Leaves, Glendy Vanderah
You did see me review Glendy's newest book last week. So I am skipping around a bit, but this book is so beautiful, I wanted to share this review with you all. I feel confident that as of today, I can declare this my most favorite read of the year. The book had ups and… Continue reading The Light Through the Leaves, Glendy Vanderah
The Oceanography of the Moon, Glendy Vanderah
Riley is healing from a traumatizing past. She is used to living in her own private, often magical world. When Vaughn blows into town, she’s not sure what to think. But the more time they spend together, the more she’s drawn into him. He might not believe in their special brand of magic, but he… Continue reading The Oceanography of the Moon, Glendy Vanderah
Leaving Blythe River, Catherine Ryan Hyde
I got into Ryan Hyde a few years ago, and I bought this one in my quest to work through her back catalog. Unfortunately, it sat in the dreaded TBR for far too long. As this is well-reviewed, I will keep this review fairly short. While naïve about some things in life, Ethan is intelligent… Continue reading Leaving Blythe River, Catherine Ryan Hyde
