This was a delight to read. There were parts that I actually laughed out loud at. The clowns – THE CLOWNS! I was dying! The dialogue was snappy and snarky in places, and I love me some snark. I absolutely loved the different aspects of two cultures and their assumptions coming together in this story. There were […]
This was an intense book. I was not expecting to read it so fast, but I was absolutely riveted. It also gave me some weird dreams, but I suppose that’s what I get for staying up until 12:30am reading it. The world building was amazing, I had no trouble envisioning the remoteness of the Upper Peninsula, […]
This is my favorite book by Colleen so far. The mystery gripped me, the tension was fraught and I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series. While I found some of the conversation stilted, I enjoyed the set up of the city and the settings for the book. It was very […]
As much as I love reading memoirs, especially when read to me by the author, I find it so hard to write reviews of them. I feel like I’m critiquing their life, not the way they told it to me, you know? Bah. Anyway… I have been a fan of Rebel Wilson since Pitch Perfect, […]
While I am very familiar with the Wizard of Oz and many of its world expansions and re-tellings, this book never really hooked me. Dorothy (Dee) was flat and didn’t really have a lot of growth or internal reflection. Much of the book was her complaining about Gray, which, he was awful, manipulative and terrible […]
I have been completely buried in this universe for almost the entire month of June. After ranting about the ending of Zodiac Academy Book 4, and how was I supposed to go off an read an entire other 5 book series?? Well, it turns out that I freaking loved it. I would say that I […]
Love Songs is another Michigan author written book, by D.K. Marie. I found this book at the Author’s Alley event that is sponsored by 2 Dandelions Bookshop (which is expanding!) in Brighton, MI. I attended with my husband and daughter, towards the end of the event. There were several children’s authors there, and as we […]
Short break from Zodiac Academy for a light, frilly rom com – a perfect beach read! As a Michigander, it was a delight to read a romance novel set in the place I have lived my entire life. I picked this up at Book Suey in Hamtramck during the MI Book Hop. The author is […]
WHAT THE FUCK!? How am I supposed to just stop reading these now and go read SIX other books to have the best impact?! WHY. The friend who got me hooked on these (ELYSE) sent the rest of book club this tiktok, as her endorsed way to read the series (she is not the tiktoker […]
Ok, biggest thing that I was glad to see in this book was that the twins’ orders finally emerged. I was so tired of waiting for that. The biggest thing I am not thrilled that the bullying is still going on. Like, y’all got bigger problems to worry about then who hates each other more […]
