A Cross-Country Christmas

Happy holidays, everyone! My first Christmas read of the year was Courtney Walsh’s A Cross-Country Christmas. This was my first completed buddy-read, with my friend Layn (you can find her on instagram @laynslittlelibrary), and damn did we have fun. I was taking notes throughout the whole book while simultaneously exchanging long, all caps, spam-like textContinue reading “A Cross-Country Christmas”

Freaks

This is a review of Tess Gerritsen’s short story Freaks, but since this is a very short review, I’ve also included a short list of her books that, due to the graphic and detailed, disturbing elements of the novel and plot itself, I have chosen not to review in depth. With this list I haveContinue reading “Freaks”

A Timeless Christmas

A Timeless Christmas, by Alexis Stanton, is a historical romance with Hallmark Publishing. I admit, I first was skeptical when I saw the film’s trailer on Hallmark, but after watching it several times (and loving it), I needed to read the book. Usually, when books come in the mail, they sit around for days toContinue reading “A Timeless Christmas”

Rumple Buttercup

Matthew Gray Gubler’s Rumple Buttercup, while a children’s book, is a wonderful story for a person of any age. With incredibly interesting artwork, unusual characters, and short sentences on the pages, this is an easy book to read to your children–or yourself–while keeping interest. To younger children it may simply be a fun story toContinue reading “Rumple Buttercup”

The Keepsake by Tess Gerritsen

The Keepsake, also known as Keeping the Dead, is the seventh book in the Rizzoli & Isles murder mystery series by author Tess Gerritsen. Unfortunately, I must admit that this book was a disappointment given the expectations set by previous novels in the series. The first half was excruciatingly boring, and as a result IContinue reading “The Keepsake by Tess Gerritsen”

Book review; Lux Beginnings

Lux Beginnings by Jennifer L. Armentrout; Obsidian and Onyx from the Lux series. Obsidian rating: eight of ten stars. Onyx rating: three of ten stars. Obsidian (book one in the Lux series) was one of my favorite books of 2019. It’s a brilliantly written book that brought human-alien interaction to the pages in a wayContinue reading “Book review; Lux Beginnings”

Book review; A Date with Murder

A Date with Murder by Donald Bain (and Jessica Fletcher). I’ll rate this one two out of five stars. While I did finish the book, it wasn’t without some frustration. It was a disappointment compared to others in the series. While it brought back characters we know and enjoyed from the original television series, thereContinue reading “Book review; A Date with Murder”

Book review; California Summer by Anita Hughes

California Summer by Anita Hughes . . . I initially was quite excited to read this book, when I first opened it approximately three years ago. I never finished this book, and after three years and a number of headaches, I ultimately threw it in the garbage. Overall rating is one-point-five stars with my sincerestContinue reading “Book review; California Summer by Anita Hughes”
