Classic's Reviews:

The Dead Romantics

The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston

by 2 Comments

Not much to say besides I really enjoyed this. Have some tissues nearby though cause parts are going to make you cry. Who knew you could write a romance novel involving ghosts and death and have it not turn into a Nicholas Sparks novel where you want to fight people in the end? “The Dead Romantics” follows ghost writer Florence Day. Florence tried to publish her own book years earlier and it “flopped.” Now she writes for an uber famous romance novelist. Problem is that […]

The Memory Librarian

The Memory Librarian by Janelle Monáe

Did Not Finish-2 and a half stories in (can’t find the book and mark what page I got to)  So sad I could not get into this collection at all. I know that Janelle Monáe did her “dirty computer” thing and I get where she was going with this. If you pretend it’s just a continuation to her songs/album it kind of works. But if you never listened to her songs or watched the movie based on these songs, you are going to be totally […]

Don’t Look Now & Other Stories

Don't Look Now & Other Stories by Daphne du Maurier

by 2 Comments

I bought this collection a few months back and then never got around to finishing it until now. Apparently insomnia has claimed me again, and I finally finished some books and put some others on the DNF list. Per usual, here are my ratings for each story in the collection. Overall I gave this 4 stars since some of the stories were baffling to me. I don’t know what message I was supposed to be getting. “Don’t Look Now” (5 stars)-John and Laura are a […]

The Cursed Carnival and Other Calamities: New Stories about Mythic Heroes

The Cursed Carnival and Other Calamities: New Stories about Mythic Heroes by Rick Riordan

Did Not Finish-10 percent Totally my fault on this one. I didn’t realize that most of these are stories about characters in prior books that have been published. I was totally lost in the first story and the fact that characters were going to different universes where they were stealing chickens. Yeah, that was something I read. I just decided to give it up because life is too short to be struggling with a book.

Next in Death Review (Books #21 through #25)

Origin in Death by J.D. Robb

Memory in Death by J.D. Robb

Born in Death by J.D. Robb

I honestly don’t know what day it is right now. I am trying to get used to my new schedule and it feels like I keep going days without checking out my reviews, my friends review, or even wanting to post reviews of my own. I decided to do my best to keep up for now, and see how I feel in the New Year though. I decided to go on reading spree of the next trance of In Death books because I just enjoyed […]

Iona Iverson’s Rules for Commuting

Iona Iverson's Rules for Commuting by Clare Pooley

by Leave a Comment

I really really enjoyed this. I laughed out loud a few times and was honestly surprised by the direction of some of the characters’ stories in this one. I have to say though, read this one if you feel a bit down in the dumps, it does give you hope that everyone you meet can’t be all that bad. I loved the character of Iona and the others too. Piers (I hate that name) was at first blush, not awesome, but he grew on me. […]
