Disclosure by Michael Crichton

Posted January 28, 2020 in Reviews // 0 Comments

Disclosure is a tricky book. Early on, I almost put it down because I was truly afraid it was about to be a train wreck. Historically, I like Michael Crichton. Or, at least, I enjoy his Jules Verne-esque ability to zero into science aspects of science fiction and create an intriguing, unique thriller. I own a bunch of Michael Crichton books, largely because there was a library book sale and they were all there and I plucked them up without abandon. Disclosure ended up being one that I would not have read if it was not there for a […]

Children of Virtue and Vengeance by Tomi Adeyemi

Posted January 27, 2020 in Reviews // 0 Comments

I must be completely honest. I struggled a little bit with Children of Virtue and Vengeance. It wasn’t a difficult book to read, and I’ll be honest, when I sat down and focused, I read it pretty quickly. It’s significantly shorter than Children of Blood and Bone… and it’s significantly less organized. I’m going to discuss it, but this seems like a good time to warn you all of spoilers if you haven’t read the first book. Also why are you reading a review of book 2 without reading book 1? Go read Children of Blood and Bone, it’s fantastic. On most […]

Mini Reviews! The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, The Graveyard Book, & Anne of Green Gables

Posted December 24, 2019 in Reviews // 2 Comments

Time for another round of mini reviews! The following three books are all books I’ve read before and have reviewed before on the blog, but they’re still good books and deserve a little time in the spotlight. These reviews are short and sweet, with a handful thoughts and impressions but nothing too deep. So, these are a little more spread out than the last time I did a mini review bundle. Both The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and The Graveyard Book were actually read in October. I’ve been putting the bits about the books I’m reading in this post as I read […]

In Which I Do Not Read Books: Off-the-Grid Readathon V Review

Posted October 25, 2019 in Readthons & Reading Challenges // 2 Comments

Hey guys! Last weekend, I participated in the fifth Off-The-Grid Readathon! If y’all’ve been around the block a while, you know that I’ve been participating in this one every time it comes up, usually with a lot of success (back in January, I got through six books!). For me, this is a super fun one because there’s no goals and no requirements – really, the point of it is just to get off social media for a minute and read. And I am the worst when it comes to picking up my phone in the middle of a chapter, because I’m bored […]

Off-the-Grid Readathon V: What Am I Reading?

Posted October 10, 2019 in Readthons & Reading Challenges // 2 Comments

Good morning my beautiful monsters! For once, I have my act together, and I am posting this TBR with plenty of notice for you beautiful souls to join in! On October 18th – October 20th, Shanah @ Bionic Book Worm and Justine @ I Should Read That are hosting the fifth Off-the-Grid Readathon! I have participated in every one of these, and I like them because they’re very loose readathons. They’re all about unplugging from our various electronics, buckling down, and reading. That’s it. No challenges, no complicated game boards. Just turn your phone on silent and see how much reading you can do! […]
