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’sContinue reading “Everyone in this Room Will Someday be Dead by Emily Austin”

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”. HearingContinue reading “Billy Summers by Stephen King”
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 isContinue reading “The Complete Harry Potter Series (Years 1-7) by J.K. Rowling”
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 foreignContinue reading “Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines by Nic Sheff”
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 brotherContinue reading “They Wish They Were Us by Jessica Goodman”
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 aContinue reading “Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo”
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’sContinue reading “As Good As Dead by Holly Jackson”
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 prettyContinue reading “Good Girl, Bad Blood by Holly Jackson”
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 twistsContinue reading “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson”
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 differentContinue reading “Reckless Girls by Rachel Hawkins”
