Late Bloomer: Finding My Authentic Self at Midlife Book Review
Full disclosure: I was given a free advance reader copy of this book by Books Forward in exchange for an honest review.

Writers & Lovers Book Review
There’s always a book about the life of a writer, how being young sucks, and/or both. Some may come off with the oh-woe-is-me mentality.

Then She Was Gone Book Review
For a while on this website, I’ve been reviewing suspense books, specifically ones with the “missing person” trope. Even though those novels were good, I’m kind of getting bored, especially if I know what the outcome is going to be a third of the way in. However, I recently read Then She Was Gone byContinue reading “Then She Was Gone Book Review”
Clock Dance Book Review
Lately, I’ve been thinking about how books don’t always have to have bells and whistles to keep readers interested. I mean, if people enjoy reading action-packed novels, good for them!
