Matilda by Roald Dahl – Book Review

Matilda, the story by Roald Dahl that we’ve all come to love. Or is it the movie we love? At almost thirty-two years old, I had never read Matilda, and was super excited to do so. Unfortunately, my hopes were just a bit too high. Matilda the book wasn’t bad – it just wasn’t the movie. Now, I am the first to jump up and claim that 99.99999% of the time the book is better, and maybe if I had read…

The Vice by Jennifer R. Jensen – Book Review

The Vice written by Jennifer R. Jensen is fantastic to say the least. A lot of it hit home for me. There are so many emotions in this book that I feel many people will be able to relate to. However, if you or anyone you know has suffered from depression and/or suicidal thoughts, this may not be the book for you. Those topics are brought up several times and may be triggering. As I said, this…

Bridge of Souls – Book Review

Once again, Victoria Schwab has crafted a story that sucked me in. In the third book of the Cassidy Blake series, Cassidy, her parents, and her ghostly best friend Jacob find themselves in New Orleans. As a lover of history and all things paranormal, I was even more excited about this installment. New Orleans is such an incredibly historical place; it is no surprise Schwab chose this…

Wilder Girls by Rory Power – Book Review

Wilder Girls by Rory Power; what more could I say than, “Holy crap this book was good!” When I first discovered this novel, I thought it would be relatable to what was going on with the Coronavirus. In a couple of ways it was: 1) the girls had to stay quarantined and 2) by the end of the book, there is still no cure for the disease the girls had. The Tox, what the student body at Raxter called…

The Sun Is Also A Star – Book Review

“If a book is well written I always find it too short.” – Jane Austen Jane Austen could not have expressed this better. This is the exact sentiment I have for The Sun is Also a Star, written by Nicola Yoon.  Yoon created such powerful protagonists. Daniel and Natasha are so exposed, their lives put on display; not only are their feelings for one another laid bare, but every fiber of them in…

Tunnel of Bones – Book Review

The Cassidy Blake series was my introduction to author Victoria Schwab, and she certainly did not disappoint. Although I already reviewed the first book, City of Ghosts, I must also say Schwab’s description of the setting definitely made me want to go to Scotland. Now, after finishing Tunnel of Bones, Paris as well. Sometimes in a series, books after the first aren’t nearly as good. That is not…

How to Keep Your Daughter From Slamming the Door – book review

I was extremely excited and honored when Deborah Ann Davis asked me if I would read and review her latest book: How to Keep Your Daughter From Slamming the Door. Davis’ book is a nonfiction which focuses on the mother/daughter relationship, specifically those with teenage daughters. Luckily for me, my daughter is only five, but this book is still helpful no matter the age of your child. One of…

City of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab – Review

**SPOILERS** Some will read Victoria Schwab’s City of Ghosts and think, “Oh, a teenage girl who can see the dead. How original.” Except for the fact that the way Schwab writes the story, it really is. The front cover claims “An adventure like no other,” and I completely agree. City of Ghosts is the first book in the Cassidy Blake series. Cassidy’s parents are paranormal experts, but they don’t…

I decided to try something new this year: a book journal! Has anyone done these before? Could you give me some more ideas of what you put in yours? I searched on Pinterest and found a good amount of ideas, but I’d love some more!
