Book Review: Cilka’s Journey by Heather Morris
Like The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Cilka’s Journey is based on a true story. It’s been a long time since I’ve read the first book, but from what I remember, this felt like a good continuation…

Book Review: The Night We Met by Abby Jimenez
I have so many conflicting feelings about this book… On one hand, I was invested in the story, wanting to know how everything would work out. On the other, I couldn’t ignore the dynamics. The longer I’ve sat with the book, the less I like it despite how hooked I was…

Book Review: The Davenports by Krystal Marquis
Set in 1910s Chicago, this book follows the two Davenport daughters, Olivia and Helen, their friend Ruby, and their maid Amy-Rose. The Davenports are one of the few wealthy Black families at the time, putting them in the crosshairs of societal expectations.

Book Review: Nine Liars by Maureen Johnson
I figured I’d go ahead and pick up this book after I finished The Box in the Woods. After realizing my reading tastes have changed, I didn’t go into this one expecting the same enthusiasm as I did returning to the series after the original trilogy…

Book Review: The Box in the Woods by Maureen Johnson
t’s been a few years since I binged the first three books in the Truly Devious series. I remember being so hooked that I read them over the span of two days. When the third book didn’t end on a cliffhanger, I wanted to be sure that when I picked up book four, I was prepared for…

Book Review: Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman
This book is unlike anything I’ve ever read before. Because of this, I was kind of nervous going into it, but since I was reading it with a book club, I figured it would be a good opportunity to read outside of my comfort zone…

Book Review: Good Spirits by B.K. Borrison
I will never grow tired of A Christmas Carol retellings. I don’t know if I would necessarily consider Good Spirits a complete retelling given the major shift in dynamics, but the concept is there, and it feels fresh…

Book Review: Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez
I didn’t know how I was going to like this book given how much I loved Just for the Summer, but also how indifferent I felt to Part of Your World. Happily, I ended up enjoying this one so much!…

Book Review: The First Time I Saw Him by Laura Dave
I loved The Last Thing He Told Me. It’s one that I still think about from time to time, despite having read it back in 2021 when it was published. I had no idea that a sequel was in the works, so when I was invited to read an ARC copy, I was ecstatic!…

Book Review: Father Elijah by Michael O’Brien
I am fascinated by prophecy discussions. This book has come up often when looking up books on the subject. Although it’s a novel, I found that quite a bit correlates with today’s ideologies despite being written in the 90s. My only regret is that I didn’t start from the beginning of the series…
