It’s no secret that a lot of people have a sort of fascination with cults, and I’m no exception—though I don’t normally read fiction about cults. But with this one? First, I read some positive reviews about it from people whose opinion I respect, and that goes a long way. Second … have you read […]
Let’s be honest: everyone knows Cait, a.k.a. PaperFury, a.k.a. C.G. Drews (she needs a lot of aliases because only boring people have just one). But did you know she did this really crazy thing called writing a book? It’s basically pulling a story out of thin air. Almost like magic, but with 100% less glitz and […]
I love musicals almost as much as I love books. I’d like them more if their songs didn’t constantly get stuck in my head, so I end up singing “Alexander Hamilton” at two in the morning in bed instead of sleeping. I’m also a big fan of recommending books. Sometimes, the book is great and […]
My husband’s been trying to get me to read this book for, like, five years because he said I’d like it … and he was so right. But shhh, don’t tell him. His head’s big enough without further inflating his ego. On the other hand, I’m pretty sure he’s officially become my wingman on finding […]
I picked this up because I’d heard good things from so many people, but I thought meh … and guys, I WAS SO WRONG. I’ll admit, meh is probably not a good attitude to have going into a book, but I’m only human. Mostly. For now. I was totally not prepared for how much I […]
This book is my new favorite, and therefore, everyone should read it, because my heart shouldn’t be the only one that’s broken. I’ve heard only good things about Fredrik Backman, but this is actually the first book I’ve read of his, and I was not disappointed. Actually, I plan on reading all his work. If […]
We’re going to pretend this is a review and not 1,000 words of mindless fangirl babble as my brain dissolves, okay? Glad we got that out of the way. Thunderhead is book two in the Arc of a Scythe series by Neal Shusterman. This will probably have spoilers for book one because, well, that’s sort of how […]
I had so many people recommend I read this that I really couldn’t put it off anymore. Well, I mean, I suppose I could, but these people are writers and readers, which means not only are they creative, but they probably already know the best ways to make me disappear and get away with it, so […]
