Everyone in this Room Will Someday be Dead by Emily Austin

This was one of those books where I stubbled on it by chance. I found a sales table and took advantage. I was also drawn to it by the summary on the back of it: “Gilda can’t stop thinking about death.” Death is a topic that is both taboo and something people wonder about. “It’s

Billy Summers by Stephen King

My mom (a bookworm herself) was nice enough to suggest this book to me. I was really excited because I am a big fan of Stephen King; I have read quite a few of his books over the years. My mom did warn me, however, “This is not like the usual Stephen King book”. Hearing

The Complete Harry Potter Series (Years 1-7) by J.K. Rowling

Hi everyone! If there is anyone out there who has been wondering where I’ve been, I have been a little busy. My last post was in April and that was around the time the school year was starting to wind down. If you are a teacher you know, the end of the school year is

Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines by Nic Sheff

I found this book randomly while I was checking out the titles in the YA section at the store. I have not been closely associated with anyone who has had a drug or alcohol problem (knocks on my wooden coffee table), so the struggles that a person and a family goes through is pretty foreign

They Wish They Were Us by Jessica Goodman

Just looking at the cover of this book, I was interested. Reading the back of the book, I certainly knew I was going to love this book. After I read it, it was definitely as dark as I thought it was going to be! I come from a family that lived comfortably; if my brother

Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo

I am personally not a fan of historical fiction, so when this novel started to show characteristics of one, I was a little hesitant to continue. I am, however, a sucker for a good love story, so I decided to stick with it. Gosh! I am so happy I did! Telegraph Club showed me a

As Good As Dead by Holly Jackson

Jackson did it again! This was definitely the epic ending I was expecting! OMG! So good! Sorry…not sorry. This is such an awesome book trilogy! It is a MUST READ! Pippa Fitz-Amobi is headed off to college in a few months, but it is just enough time for Pip to get herself into another…pickle (it’s

Good Girl, Bad Blood by Holly Jackson

When I finished Jackson’s first Pippa Fitz-Amboi thriller novel A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, I loved it and I was excited to read the next novel in the trilogy. However, I was a little nervous that the second novel was not going to be as exciting as the first; my sights were set pretty

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson

Naturally, as soon as I read the title of the book, I had to read it! As I have mentioned in my other posts, anything to do with some kind of crime, mystery, and murder is a book I have to be privy to. Good Girl’s Guide is no exception. This book has some twists

Reckless Girls by Rachel Hawkins

After reading the summary of this book, I thought it was the plot of a crappy MTV or TLC reality TV show on an island. Stunning 20-somethings find their way on a deserted island. That is part of the summary that was provided. I figured I would give it a shot. There are certainly different
