Today I’m reviewing a book I pretty much binge-read last November–author Helen Power’s debut novel, The Ghosts of Thorwald Place. Firstly I’ll start by saying that this was an interesting concept to me, and a plot I’d never seen before. Also, the cover art and title were pretty intriguing in a creepy but ‘I wantContinue reading “The Ghosts of Thorwald Place”

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”
Helen Cole’s Gratitude Journals
I’m back and today I’m reviewing a set of three gratitude journals that recently came out by Helen Cole. Ms. Cole generously gifted me these journals in exchange for an honest review of them, so I’ve taken some time to look through them all, take some photos and write this up for y’all. Starting withContinue reading “Helen Cole’s Gratitude Journals”
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 Murder is Announced
A Murder is Announced is the fifth murder mystery novel in Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple series. From the summary on the back cover of the book, I knew it sounded like an interesting plot, and nothing I’d read before. It took a few chapters for me to really get into it, but after that, IContinue reading “A Murder is Announced”
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 Silent Girl
The Silent Girl is the ninth in Tess Gerritsen’s murder mystery series, Rizzoli & Isles. It brings back all the character’s we’re used to, along with now retired Detective Vince Korsak, Angela Rizzoli, and the easily hate-able Frankie Rizzoli. Along with these characters come the new ones; police officer Johhny Tam, who is eager toContinue reading “The Silent Girl”
The Mephisto Club
The Mephisto Club by Tess Gerritsen. This is book six in the series, and after reading The Keepsake (the seventh), I was hesitant to start this one. That said, I am glad I did! This was by far one of the best mysteries I’ve read in a long time. That said, it does have it’sContinue reading “The Mephisto Club”
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”
