I have been seeing this book everywhere! It looked perfect for me - super creepy, which is what I love. So when I found it on Overdrive a few months ago, I put a hold on it as fast as my grubby finger could click on it. And when I got the email that... Continue Reading →
Wuthering Heights — As An Adult
As I recently wrote, The Bronte Plot had me itching for some actual Brontes. I decided to go with Wuthering Heights because it was shorter than Jane Eyre and thought that it would be more romantic. This novel was published in 1847 when Emily was 29 years old. She died the next year (source). Emily and... Continue Reading →
The Bronte Plot
After reading A Little Life, I was in the mood for something a bit lighter. This popped up on the Modern Mrs. Darcy's Kindle deals list and I just knew that it was exactly what I was looking for. And it was! Lucy lives in Chicago and works in an antique shop. Her boss and... Continue Reading →
Four Simple Rules For Reading A Little Life
...Hello? It's me. I'm in New Hampshire dreaming about who I'm meant to be. A blogger? Maybe. But first I have to show up to the computer keys. And now I've totally butchered Adele. Sorry love! It's been nearly a month since I've written an update. And here's my issue: I'm a staller. Google is... Continue Reading →
Lake People
Last week I finished a book called Lake People by Abi Maxwell. It was recommended to me by a friend in the spring but I completely forgot about it. And there I was on Tuesday, wandering around the public library, when I practically ran straight into it. Well, not really, but it was right on... Continue Reading →
Final 2016 catch up
I never actually finished writing about all of the books that I read in 2016! I have two to share today - one that I finished and one that I didn't. I listened to The Trespasser by Tana French on audio, which had its downsides. It was about twenty hours long! I thought that I'd never finish... Continue Reading →
The Underground Railroad – and a mind going in about a thousand directions
My first finish of 2017 was an incredible one. I started The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead at the end of December, confident that I'd finish it before 2016 ended given that it's just over 300 pages. This book had a strange push/pull for me. I was captivated by the story, but I had to put it... Continue Reading →
The Goldfinch
What is it about these kinds of books? I think I can say that I loved everything about this book - wait, probably not everything. The characters were shady and I didn't always like them. But their shadiness is what made the book work, so I guess I can say that I liked them. Now... Continue Reading →
YA Binge
I've been on a YA binge this week. #sorrynotsorry I want to say that it's because life is just so much simpler in a YA - but these YA books certainly were NOT! So I'll just be honest - it was the love stories that drew me in. There. I've said it. I adore teenage... Continue Reading →
Finishes and Desperation
What a draining couple of weeks! I've found myself curled up with a book more and more lately, and I'm not complaining. (The cleanliness of my house? Well, we won't talk about that!) I've found that I've escaped into words without being able to adequately describe my own feelings. I catch myself railing on Facebook... Continue Reading →
