Hi Everybody, I hope the Christmas shopping is going well so far, and for my Jewish readers, I hope you all had a great Hanukkah! I finished The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern recently, and started reading two more titles that I’d like to show you all! So let’s begin! Once Upon a Winter: AContinue reading “What Am I Reading – Chapter Twenty-Four”

Eleanor & Park Book Review
Lately, I’ve been thinking about novels that have been considered problematic within the last few years. Some have been labeled that way for decades. But, does that mean readers are not allowed to read them anymore? I don’t think so. To understand why a book is deemed an issue, one must know the context –Continue reading “Eleanor & Park Book Review”
What Am I Reading – Chapter Twenty-Three
Hi Everyone, I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I sure did! I ate great food, played fun games, and complained about the Lions losing…again. I also finished For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway and replaced it with something that could be described as its complete opposite. A Snicker of Magic by NatalieContinue reading “What Am I Reading – Chapter Twenty-Three”
On the Come Up Book Review
Since The Hate U Give was published in 2017, it has received so much praise that I’m convinced that it’s already a modern classic and that it will wind up being required reading for some high schools in the future. As such, I would imagine its author Angie Thomas thinking long and hard about herContinue reading “On the Come Up Book Review”
What Am I Reading – Chapter Twenty-Two
Hi Everybody! The holiday season has now begun! I hope everyone is not getting too stressed out with Thanksgiving and Christmas planning! As for me, reading is a way to relax whenever I do feel overwhelmed. I finished the books from the last chapter and have been immersed in a new title that I wantContinue reading “What Am I Reading – Chapter Twenty-Two”
Love, Pride, Virtue, and Fate Book Review
There’s no doubt that reading helps people learn about a variety of subjects, especially those that they never knew about before. What makes this possible is how the material is presented. If it’s displayed in an accessible manner, readers will be able to not only learn, but also enjoy it. I thought about this aspectContinue reading “Love, Pride, Virtue, and Fate Book Review”
The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires Book Review
Ah, Halloween has passed, but that doesn’t mean we have to stop reading scary books. I prefer scary media with some comedy. That’s why Young Frankenstein is one of my favorite films of all time. So, when one of my coworkers told me about The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix,Continue reading “The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires Book Review”
Legends of the Fall Book Review
I always like to review books from authors from my home state of Michigan. So today, I present to you a special one as parts of this book have been adapted into two movies (I’ll review both of them someday). It’s Jim Harrison’s 1979 debut set of novellas Legends of the Fall. He is knownContinue reading “Legends of the Fall Book Review”
What Am I Reading – Chapter Twenty-One
Hi Everybody! It’s been awhile since the last chapter, but I hope everyone is having a great October! For me, it’s been good, but a little stressful due to wedding planning. I’m tying the knot in less than 3 weeks. Luckily, I’ve been reading Dalva by Jim Harrison, The Marxist Revolution: How Chico, Harpo, Groucho,Continue reading “What Am I Reading – Chapter Twenty-One”
The Lesser Blessed Book Review
Warning: Some elements of this review may not be suitable for those under the age of 14. When readers think of the classics, what do they often think about? The Catcher in the Rye? Pride and Prejudice? The Great Gatsby? In other words, works by white and mostly male authors who are dead. Luckily, CanadaContinue reading “The Lesser Blessed Book Review”
