Cat on a Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams

I have to start reading more plays again. This was crazy. I loved every second of it. Devoured every word. And yes dear readers, I have never seen the movie starring Paul Newman or Elizabeth Taylor so I came into this cold. I of course have seen gifs and memes, but never sat and read this play. Also, I had zero idea this was a play at first and written by Tennessee Williams. I am really grateful I sought out a play to read for […]

“System Collapse” picks right up with the events from “Network Effect” and Murderbot, the ART crew, and others, working together to try to figure out how to keep the Barish-Estranza corporation from trying to “own” the planet and the colonists that have been living there. This was not a bad book by any stretch, but to me there was way too much going on that I just after a while stopped trying to track what was happening to who and why. The first portion of […]

“When You Are Mine” is the first book in a series I have zero intention of finishing. It starts with a wedding and the best man, Walsh, is doing a wedding toast for his best friend Cam. One problem, Walsh is in love with his best friend’s wife, Kerris. Child no. I got recommended this book again (by someone at the only romance book store in NoVa) and I swear to God those people hate me. WHY???? This book had me mad from the word […]

So one of my friends got me this book and also a bird watching book along with a gardening book that I am really enjoying. I should be able to post about those soonish once I get this done. Anyway, my one friend is really into crystals, growing plants to dry so she can make teas and other things with them along with growing tons of food/plants to make meals with. When I was a kid I loved crystals, but didn’t really get a chance […]

So I don’t want to get into every story in this book because I don’t want to spoil. But wow. This book was really really good. Even though I thought the part two that switched to Los Angeles lost some of its charm, I still thought this was a 5 star read and really enjoyed it. Instead of giving a blow by blow of each story, I am just going to focus on my favs: “The Line”-This story follows Pushkin and his wife Irina and […]

Forget Me Not by Stacy Willingham

Please note that I read this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review.  “Forget Me Not” follows Claire Campbell, jobless as a journalist and trying her best to freelance, she is called back to her hometown by her estranged father. Claire’s mother has been in an accident and needs help and her father asks her to do it. We quickly find out though that the reason why Claire is estranged from both her parents, her older sister Natalie, disappeared, and was […]
