Review: There couldn’t be a more perfect example of how polarizing a book can be. When I finished reading this the first time around, I couldn’t decide whether it had been a waste of time or completely brilliant. There aren’t many books that come to mind that can produce that effect. See, the issue is [...]
I don't know how on Earth it's already May 12th, but nevertheless here we are kids. Ever since quarantine season began, back in mid-March, I've been able to kick my almost year long reading slump, and devour books like I used to before. I've read far too many so far to do a proper wrap-up [...]
Rating: I think every review I write should just have a built in this is a difficult book to rate introduction, but hey I can't help the fact that I overthink things to a T. I think the issue mainly resides in my overwhelming love and appreciation of an idea, but then grappling with the [...]
Rating: Eh, if by Everything All At Once we're referring to the lack of substance until the last twenty pages, then yes I'd say that's a pretty accurate title. For the last few months I’ve heard a lot of hype surrounding Katrina Leno. Albeit, more toward Summer of Salt than anything else. However, I thought I’d start [...]
Rating: A few weeks ago I watched the first episode of Pandemic on Netflix. Like many, the fear of COVID-19 was barely trickling into my nervous system. In the documentary there was a brief mention of Elizabeth Holmes and her fraudulent company Theranos. However, apart from mentions of deceit, not much was delved into. Resolute, I [...]
Rating: This truly was not it. It’s a real shame it wasn’t, because right from the start you can tell how much this story means to the author. Every word was chosen with care and thought. It’s as if the author had been honing and perfecting the novel for years. Unfortunately, this just rendered the [...]
Rating: 3.5 stars This was a highly enjoyable read! Surprising, considering it’s filled with tropes, but somehow that didn’t bother me completely. The Hating Game follows Lucy and Josh, two sworn enemies/coworkers, who are in a constant battle of upping one another. This only intensifies when a promotion between the two is up for grabs. [...]
Hello lovely readers! I hope this blog post finds you well. Currently, Misster Reader here is practicing self-quarantining/social-distancing, and it’s been...interesting to say the least. With COVID-19, the state of the world is a bit scary at the moment (might be the understatement of the year), so I thought we could all use a teensy [...]
Rating: I have a hard time writing something critical/potentially negative when it comes to memoirs, because in a way it does feel as if you're rating someone's life. However, my issue with this novel comes more from Walden's writing and overall story telling than it does her subject. It seems as if Walden has overcome [...]
Rating: This was incredibly fun! I can definitely see why there's hype surrounding this hilarious gem. Now, I'm not the type of reader who laughs aloud or physically cries, but I did find myself smiling like a fool several times throughout the story. One of this novel's strongest suit is the fact that it doesn't [...]
