American Dirt
American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins is FIRE! I can’t honestly do this one justice, so I’m not going to try. I work in a community that is 97% Hispanic. I work in a school with students that have fled countries that were no longer safe. I work with students that I don’t know a single …
On the Bright Side
With the current state of our nation and all of the events surrounding the pandemic that is Covid-19, I’ve decided to take this Spring Break and the next few weeks to really catch up on a few book reviews. I’ve allowed myself to get behind, 15 books to be exact (not including audio), because reviewing …
The Paper Wasp
I’ve officially quit. I quit a book that I thought would be so good. Reviews said decent things, and one version of the cover is edgy beyond belief, which made me believe it would fit into my love of Indie Books. However, it did not… It’s silly, but quitting books is so hard for me. …
The Last Book Party
How many times have you walked into the bookstore and told yourself you were just going to look around but not buy anything? I think I live this lie at least once a month, and I have found that I’ve even started justifying that it’s okay because I know of others that have stacks of …
Winter Stroll
If you’re anything like me, you’re not ready to let go of the holidays just yet.

Winter Street
I’m not ashamed to say that Elin Hilderbrand is one of my favorite writers. In fact, on my ever-growing list of books to review, she currently takes up three of those spaces. Her books fit like a cozy blanket and always include the quaint details of the North East. In addition, you always end each …
The Poet X
I’m in a season of devouring words. Ones written in books and ones spoken to me. I am reading more than I can write because there is something in these pages that is giving me new life, renewing my energy that has been so immensely drained in the last four months. At this time, I …
The Au Pair
As Seraphine mourns the loss of her father, she comes across the first picture ever photographed of her family. However, it leaves her with more questions than answers. A twin to Danny, Seraphine finds that the photo she has just discovered only contains her mom, older brother Edwin, her dad, and a newborn baby, which …
Once Upon a River
After what has felt like weeks of reading Once Upon a River, I am finally finished with this intricate story. Although I want to say I am in love with this Diane Setterfield piece, I am only “in like” with it. To be completely honest, on page 60 something, I texted my friend confused out …
