Mini-reviews: Pachinko + The Vanishing Half
Two fantastic thought-provoking novels that I would encourage anyone to check out – here is my review of Pachinko and The Vanishing Half!
My First Reading Rush Experience!
This year was my first time participating in The Reading Rush. Before this, I had never heard of it but I was recommended it by other book bloggers and the prompts seemed like a ton of fun. Now, there were some issues with The Reading Rush and I only found out about it after the last live show. All I…
Review: The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
My Review To say I loved this book would not do it justice. It was absolutely amazing and months after reading it, I am still in awe of the author’s ability to create this vivid and fantastic story. I went into this book completely blind; apart from vaguely knowing that Achilles was a Greek hero who fought in Troy, I…
Review: The Haunting of Maddy Clare by Simone St. James
With the advent of Halloween, I thought it would be nice to read a horror story. I love a good haunting, even if I don’t personally want it to happen to me! I chose this book because I had absolutely loved The Broken Girls by this author, and I wanted to read more of her work. So let me just…
Review: Dear Mrs. Bird by A.J. Pierce
I don’t read many historical fiction novels. But when I do, I try to read ones that are as unique as possible.

I was interested in seeing the direction that the author would take with this story and…
Review: The Mermaid by Christina Henry
With the success of the movie The Greatest Showman, which is about the famous P. T. Barnum, it comes with no surprise that I was super excited to find out that someone had written a book featuring him. I had already read a previous work of Christina Henry’s before called Lost Boy , which was absolutely amazing so I knew…
Review: Mary B: An Untold Story of Pride and Prejudice by Katherine J. Chen
I love Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. It was one of the first classic novels I had ever read and I thought it was so witty and lovely. I love rereading it, and watching movie adaptations of it, so of course when I heard about this book, I knew I had to give it a go! My Review If…
Review: The English Wife by Lauren Willig
I saw this book and was immediately drawn by its beautiful cover. And after I read the premise of this story, I knew that I had to give it a shot. It has been so long since I’ve read a historical fiction novel, and this was the perfect chance for me to get back into the genre. My Review This…
Burial Rites by Hannah Kent
After I read The Good People, I knew I wanted to find more books by this author and read them. Burial Rites was actually the author’s debut novel, and it is based on a true event. I love a good historical story and I love Kent writes her books so I was eager to jump into her work! Here is my review:…
