There There

In trying to expand my reading horizons, I realized that I had read very little from Native American authors. I have, of course, read a few by Louise Erdrich (most recently Future Home of the Living God), who is well established as respected as a female writer of Native American descent. But that’s pretty much…

What I’ve Read: 100 Best Fantasy Novels of All Time

I subscribe to Unbound Worlds, a blog/newsletter situation that is all about science fiction and fantasy worlds. I love all the book recommendations, author interviews, and lists (who doesn't love lists!) that they send out. The most recent email newsletter from them included the following list: The 100 Best Fantasy Novels of All Time (list…

Call Me By Your Name

This is being lauded as the modern gay classic. Which of course means I had to read it. Plus, it was just made into a movie and, now that I’ve finished the book, I cannot wait to watch it! I really don’t have anything else to say as an intro here. This might be my…

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before

I’ve seen this one around, especially on bookstagram, for years, but was never overly interested in it until recently, when I heard about the Netflix movie coming out. Then the hype got out of control…and I totally fell for it. Plus, of course, you all already know that I cannot watch a movie without reading…

Pachinko

This book has been making the rounds on bookstagram. Everyone is talking about it, saying how wonderful it is and, how even though it is quite long (almost 500 pages) it’s such a fast read. And we all already know how much of a sucker I am for books with lots of hype. Haha. I…

The Hating Game

A few weeks ago I read/posted about The Kiss Quotient, one of my favorite books from this year, and asked for recommendations of similar contemporary romances. I’m just really in the mood for them right now. One of the most popular recommendations was The Hating Game. So here we are! The Hating Game by Sally…

The Conqueror’s Saga

This will be a long post (sorry), but that's because it's a three for one special! I pretty much binge read this trilogy, so instead of doing a separate post for each, I'm giving them to you all at one time. I'll separate my reviews for the three books very clearly, so you can read…

The God of Small Things

I was recommended (and actually gifted) this book by a friend years ago. Like, so many years ago that it is quite embarrassing that it took me this long to read it, especially considering how much I read and how good of a friend the recommender is. However, I’m going with a “better late than…

The Wedding Date

I have to be honest, this is the second time I waited through a hold list to get this book from the library. I don’t even remember what happened the first time, but the long and short of it is, I didn’t get around to reading it before it was due. In most cases, I…

Moxie

I was really drawn to this book for a couple reasons: the cover is so compelling (the color contrast is really bold and I love it), the title is awesome (something about the word moxie gets me all pumped up) and the description is super inspiring (feminism in a small town America high school). So,…
