The Wedding Party (The Wedding Date #3) I usually don’t like the enemies to lovers trope. But I don’t think this is a true ETL. Maddie and Theo didn’t like each other but they disliked each other based on a misunderstanding. Theo, to people who don’t know him, can come off as snobby and prudish. … Continue reading First Impressions

Magic is in everything
"The Paper Magician" by Charlie Holmberg The whole time I was reading I was imagining them doing some really fancy, magical origami (which I already find magical since I can't do it). I liked the idea of magic being like a trade. You learn it and can pick a different medium to practice with i.e. … Continue reading Magic is in everything

Walk a mile in my shoes
This book was filled with complex characters. Also, there was a lot of miscommunication wrapped up in misplaced responsibility. James felt responsible to be the bread winner and to give his kids the "American Dream." Marilyn felt responsible to be the perfect wife, mother, and to help Lydia achieve her goals. Nath felt that he … Continue reading Walk a mile in my shoes
Small Town, Big Hearts
Us Against You (2-2) Backman’s style is unique. I always like reading his writing because the narrator always takes an objective view of the story. For this type of story I think it’s perfect because it leaves the reader to draw their own opinions on the story without feeling the bias from the author. This … Continue reading Small Town, Big Hearts

A little Monstrous
The problem with creative types is we live a good portion of our lives in our heads. Why? Cause we’re constantly creating something. Even if it’s on the back burner we always have some idea of what our next move is. This is how Eliza lived her life, in her head. She couldn’t interact with … Continue reading A little Monstrous
Long Time No Post
So, I have decided to intorduce a new segment called “Reviewed.” Instead of getting sporadic long reviews I will be posting shorter reviews more frequently. With everything going on and how busy my life is I don’t always get to read and write as much as I wish. So, I have decided shorter reviews would … Continue reading Long Time No Post
