Book Review: Library of Forbidden Books by Mario Escobar
For some reason, I thought I’d read more of Mario Escobar’s books, but this is only my second. I remember Auschwitz Lullaby fondly, and I have The Teacher of Warsaw sitting on my bookshelf, but I digress. I was excited to get the opportunity to read his newest release!…

Book Review: We Are Never Ever Solving This Murder by Sarah Fox
I’d had the chance to read the first book in this series when it came out, but I passed on it because it seemed to tread too much into romance (I like my mysteries/thrillers to be very focused on the mystery). I didn’t realize this was part of the same series, although I should have…

Ollie and Becca have been best friends for years. Alongside their friend Kennedy, their wedding business is thriving. When a high-profile celebrity books their services, their hopes for the future skyrocket…

Book Review: Kingdom of Devils by Katherine Grandjean
When I think of true crime, my mind immediately goes to the 20th century. I have read about and delved into a few cases from before the 1900s, but not often. When this book showed up in my inbox and I saw that it discusses America’s ‘first’ serial killers around the time of the American…

Book Review: The Madness Pill by Justin Garson
Growing up with a mother who works in the field of psychology, I inherited her interest in the subject. This title instantly caught my attention. I’ve never read deeply into the medical side of things, so I was excited to branch out…

Book Review: Catholics vs. Protestants by Andrew Goliszek
First and foremost, I want to address the title. While surely members on both sides of this conversation may see ‘VS’ and be inclined to get defensive (as I did myself, admittedly), that’s when I realized that I needed to read this book. There are so many ‘us vs. them’ scenarios nowadays, when in a…

Book Review: Gifts by Lesley Bootiman
It’s been some time since I’ve picked up a multigenerational story. Gifts has been like any other I’ve read, with a large focus on a genetic illness along with external life circumstances…

Book Review: Felony Review by Randy E. Barnett
I’m fascinated by true crime and I’ve read a wide range of topics and cases, but it’s not often that I’ve been able to experience it from a legal point of view (outside of famous trials). I was excited to receive the opportunity to read Randy E. Barnett’s memoir…

Book Review: Lost by Rachel Hartigan
Even as a little kid, I was obsessed with Amelia Earhart’s story (shoutout to Jay Jay the Jet Plane). I circle around to her every so often, and I was excited to see this book title pop up in an email not long after falling down a YouTube rabbit hole of Amelia Earhart content…

Book Review: Lady Tremaine by Rachel Hochhauser
Cinderella was my favorite Disney Princess when I was little, so naturally, whenever I come across retellings or new adaptations, my interest is piqued. I’ve never come across a retelling based on Lady Tremaine outside of the Disney universe…
