My favorite part of learning intricate details and inter-workings of a Russian submarine? Imagining Tim Curry as Dr. Petrov of course! Thank you for that special joy Mr. Clancy.
Continue readingI don’t know Sager. Home Before Dark is my first Sager read. But I have a theory on the origins of this one.
Continue readingAll those quotes about how reading is better than traveling are a lie. Reading about places is great and I’m so thankful for all the places I’ve learned about that I’ll actually never be able to go (Antartica, the moon, anywhere if America doesn’t get it together) but traveling is still the best. And I miss it.
Continue readingTweet Cute is the story of Pepper and Jack (not the cheese) and the impact of Twitter, family obligations, and high school. Emma Lord came out swinging with her debut!
Continue readingHendrix has written a wild novel about the 80’s (and power of pop culture against demons) layered over some really serious topics like sexual assault and mental health. Join me as I fumble through My Best Friend’s Exorcism.

Last Pride read for June of 2020! I will continue to read diverse books including LGBTQ+ characters (and I gotta step up on all the other groups for sure) throughout the year but for Pride month, this is our last one.

Another Pride read! Although Swimming in the Dark is much more devastating then Only Mostly Devastated. The irony is not lost on me. But that’s what happened when Jedrowski decided to write a novel about 80’s Poland. So buckle up and get ready to be emotionally wrecked in the best way.
Continue readingLadies and gentlemen and everyone who doesn’t fall into either of those categories. What we have here is a classic Scandinavian serial killer story with murder, love, betrayal, twists and turns. It must be all the time in the gloomy snow that makes this bunch of authors so dark. And Nesbo was no exception with The Snowman.
Continue readingOk, even as I was getting ready to wish everyone a happy pride (Happy Pride Month! May it never be limited to 30 days!) I was like oh my gosh. I’m about to post a review of a gay romance written by a woman. I AM PART OF THE PROBLEM. Which I’ve been feeling a lot lately. Am I buying books to support black bookshop owners? Or POC authors? Authors who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community? Sometimes, yes. I am. But not as much as I could be. So you better believe I’ll be doing more moving forward. If my book habits don’t align with my real world habits, what am I doing?
