A Gripping Novel of Psychological Suspense - Every Last Lie
A Gripping Novel of Psychological Suspense - Every Last Lie

Review:This book is about loss, grief, sleep deprivation, and the need to find out why her husband was killed. It is a mystery and more. Family dynamics, secrets and a 4 year old talking about a black car and a bad man. Without giving anything away I figured what happened but not another part. Very fast read and well written. I did like the surprise in the end! Read more

The Lying Game #2: Never Have I Ever
The Lying Game #2: Never Have I Ever

Review:I'm still shuddering, thinking about that creepy ending.

The ending of this book completely saved it for me... Now I just have to know what's going to happen next. So I will probably be reading the next book, even though I was pretty disappointed in Never Have I Ever. It was definitely exciting, but it lacked so many things.

First of all, Emma's romantic relationships are taking so long to develop. Like, seriously. JUST KISS HIM ALREADY. The parts of the book with her and Ethan are... Read more

Overlord, Vol. 1 - light novel
Overlord, Vol. 1 - light novel

Review:An anime fandub would probably do a better job at translation...

The story does surpass the mediocre translation though. Worth buying the first book to see if you'll be able to stand the remaining books in the series. Read more

Cheater Pants (Junie B. Jones - No. 21) - Junie B.

Review:This book is very funny for anyone who likes sassy and bossy little girls. It’s about this girl named Junie B that forgot to do her homework and saw that May’s homework was on her desk and Junie B copied it. Junie B copied it before May got back from the office. Junie B didn’t want her teacher, Mr. Scary to get mad at her for not doing her homework and coping off May’s homework.

I would give this book to anybody that likes sassy and bossy little girls. To find out more read more the book ... Read more

How Not to Start Third Grade (Step into Reading 4)

Review:My son absolutely loves this book! Because of this, we ended up also purchasing, "How Not to Babysit Your Brother", and, "How Not to Run for Class President".

My son really wishes there was more of this series, he had re-read them qutie a bit! Read more

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Review:Wonderfully written, as almost everything from Mark Twain. Unfortunately, it can be easily misinterpreted as quite racist, but if you understand that the author is being ironic then you'll have a great time. Read more

What We Talk about When We Talk about Love
What We Talk about When We Talk about Love

Review:If you like stories where something happens, characters find fullfillment, love and success, characters talk things out and get somewhere----this book is not for you. I like those books, but I like this too---in certain moods, usually when I'm taking things a little on the dark side. Carver is a master short story writer, but these are minimalist, very sad stories about people at the end of some tether or other. I can only read a few a night, and often reread them so I can stop reading for the a... Read more

The Stories of John Cheever
The Stories of John Cheever

Review:I wanted to like this work but kept feeling myself getting irritated. Cheever has a remarkable knack of repeating sections of dialogue a little too long, or putting passages of text the wrong way round. Almost without fail I was frustrated with the construction of a story; "How much sharper, more satisfactory," I thought to myself, "if he had put this section before (or after) the other one!" And if I can see that...
When I purchased this book I can only assume that I mistook Cheever for Raym... Read more

We Never Asked for Wings: A Novel
We Never Asked for Wings: A Novel

Review:This felt like a "based on true events" novel. It was survival, love and forgiveness. It covered life experiences that most of us have had or will confront in our lifetime.

I liked this book very much, very fast read because it's well written! I highly recommend "we never asked for wings." Read more

Cold Vengeance (Agent Pendergast series)
Cold Vengeance (Agent Pendergast series)

Review:Cold Vengeance picks up after Fever Dream. While it is the second title in the "Helen Pendergast Trilogy," it also suffers from being the middle title. It must set up the final novel which will tie everything together, presumably. These authors have a very strong track record and have entertained me for years. While their previous novel featuring their new character, Gideon Crew, was not up to par (I haven't given up on him, I think there is potential, especially with the movie deal they rec... Read more
