Wicked Beauty
By Katee Robert I’ve read one of her books before and it is not for the faint of heart. Robert is a romance novelist and can be at times perhaps considered raunchy. Wicked Beauty is a retelling of the Olympus Gods story. In this installation, it is the third of the Dark Olympus series. Helen…

Sisters of Fortune
by Anna Lee Huber This was an interesting read. If you are a Titanic enthusiast, you would like this one. The only critique is that its kind of like every other Titanic book and kind of just ended without more of an ending. The Fortune sisters are aboard the Titanic with their family, and the…

Let’s Talk About…When Life Gets to be Lifing
Hey guys, I’m so sorry I’ve been slacking on these posts but reading has proven challenging these days! I’m in school part-time which really feels more full time to me so it requires a lot of reading of textbooks and articles. So I have been reading, just nothing very fun! I am in the process…

The Guest
by B. A. Paris Have you ever read a B. A. Paris book? They are pretty thrilling typically. This one was a good story but didn’t twist until the very end. Iris and Gabriel are recovering from Gabriel finding Charlie Ingram dead in the quarry when they arrive home to their best friend Laure is…

Kasher in the Rye: A True Tale of a White Boy from Oakland who Became a Drug Addict, Criminal, Mental Patient and Then Turned 16
by Moshe Kasher This was an interesting read, though I didn’t technically read it. I got it from Audiobook. If you listen to Mayim Bialik’s podcast, “Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown” (https://www.bialikbreakdown.com/episodes), you might have heard Moshe Kasher on it. This was a recommended read from that episode, and the library had it on audiobook, so I…

Freed (Fifty Shades as Told by Christian Grey)
by E.L. James Well, I did it folks. I finished the series. I was sad to see the series end, and maybe E.L. James will bring it back so we can know where Anastasia and Christian end up. This one was probably the longest of all the books, and there is so much you are…

Christmas at Nutcracker Court
by Judy Duarte This was a Christmas read I picked up at Goodwill recently that I took a chance on. Have you ever taken a chance on a book? I don’t completely regret it, but it didn’t live up to my expectation for it. I gave this one 3 but would have really given it…

Darker (Fifty Shades as Told by Christian Grey)
by E.L. James What can I say? This series has sucked me in from the beginning, and continues to keep me sucked in. If you know anything about the Fifty Shades series, then you may already know that E.L. James created a whole separate trilogy set as told by Christian Grey. It is one of…

A Court of Thorns and Roses
by Sarah J. Maas I get the hype now. I had it in my mind that I wanted to read this before or around Christmas and I did it! I can’t wait to read more. Usually, I’m not a fantasy reader and can get a little deterred from the genre, but Maas does a great…
