Phases of Gravity One of the very few "realistic" novels by Dan Simmons. Usually his novels are science fiction, horror, fantasy, or some combination of those. Sometimes his books are noir or suspense, and even though those books take place in the real world, it's just not quite the same thing as … [Read more]

“Difference, children, is not monstrous. It is nature at work.”

Ordinary Monsters (The Talents Trilogy, #1) by J.M. Miro

by 2 Comments

I put off writing this review because I'm still not sure whether I want to round up to four stars or down to three, because this is the quintessential three and a half star book. Like many people have been, I was a little disappointed with this book. I had a good enough time with it, and I will … [Read more]

This is a story about the brothers Lynch

Greywaren by Maggie Stiefvater

by Leave a Comment

Spoiler warning! This book is the third and final in the Dreamer trilogy, which in itself is a follow-up to the four-book Raven Cycle. It very much doesn't stand on its own and won't really make sense unless you've read the previous books. The place to begin is Call Down the Hawk, or if you want to … [Read more]

I will keep the spoilers light, but there are some things you may want to keep as a surprise if you haven't read this series. Night Broken sees … [Read more]

The Enola Holmes (movie) book

The Case of the Missing Marquess (Enola Holmes #1) by Nancy Springer

by Leave a Comment

This book was pretty short. I think it was about a five hour audiobook. I liked the narrator though and the story moved along. If you've seen the Enola Holmes movie, you know the general plot of this book. The movie was not fully true to the book, but I could understand why the movie changed the … [Read more]

Charlotte is a good person

What We Forgot to Bury by Marin Montgomery

by Leave a Comment

Man I seem to read a lot of books where people are straight up lying to each other. And if they're not straight up lying, they're gaslighting, so it's either just as bad or worse. This book has a combo of both! You know something bad happened to Charlotte in her past, because she's scared to … [Read more]
