Cinematic Destinies Book Review
Full disclosure: I was given an advance reader’s copy of this book from SparkPoint Studio in exchange for an honest review. Romance novels can be predictable. I’ve talked about this in my review of I Owe You One by Sophie Kinsella. However, it’s not inherently a bad thing. Sometimes, readers want feel-good stories to balanceContinue reading “Cinematic Destinies Book Review”

Twice the Family: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Sisterhood Book Review
Full disclosure: I was given a free advance reader copy of this book by Books Forward in exchange for an honest review. As I mentioned in my review of Childless Mother: A Search for Son and Self by Tracy Mayo, adoption stories have always been compelling to me.

Serafina and the Black Cloak Book Review
When I was a Children’s Librarian, we prepared Battle of the Books for 5 months. To plan ahead or so to speak, I tried to read all of the titles that we selected. I was able to see why they were chosen, especially Serafina and the Black Cloak by Robert Beatty. It was a good,Continue reading “Serafina and the Black Cloak Book Review”
The Cheesemaker’s Daughter Book Review
Full disclosure: I was given a free advance reader copy of this book by Author Marketing Experts in exchange for an honest review. When I search for books online or at a store, certain words will pop out. These include “girl,” “woman,” “wife,” and “daughter.” This is especially true with the last word as IContinue reading “The Cheesemaker’s Daughter Book Review”
Everything I Never Told You Book Review
Before I began reviewing books, one of the best titles I read was Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng. Since 2017, I’ve been wanting to read more of her novels. I finally did with her 2014 debut Everything I Never Told You. Today, I’m going to tell you everything about why I love that book.Continue reading “Everything I Never Told You Book Review”
The Personal Librarian Book Review
I love historical fiction. Specifically, I enjoy learning about real life people and events from those books, so I can do more research about them. I also love libraries (and I’m not just saying that because I work in one). These two aspects found their way together in a historical fiction novel called The PersonalContinue reading “The Personal Librarian Book Review”
The War That Saved My Life Book Review
Every year, whenever the winner of the Newbery Medal is announced, there will always be a handful of readers who say, “This title should have won.” Readers are entitled to their opinions, but since 2016, some have mentioned that The War That Saved My Life by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley should’ve been rewarded with the NewberyContinue reading “The War That Saved My Life Book Review”
There There Book Review
I’ve read plenty of books by indigenous authors, but none of them dealt with the lives of urban Native Americans. Plus, I will be honest and say that I didn’t really know that group even existed. This gap was the reason why Tommy Orange – an enrolled member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes ofContinue reading “There There Book Review”
