Wolves rule

Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy

September 6, 2022 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

My sister's sister in law gave her this book to read, and then she recommended it to me. They read the hardcover version, but I totally recommend the audiobook version. The narrator is Australian, as is the main character. I think I'm a total sucker for a good accent, especially in a … [Read more]

This book really made me not give a F*ck

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life by Mark Manson

September 6, 2022 by kfishgirl 5 Comments

I'm not sure what got me to read this book, but apparently something enticed me. I think I liked the idea of not being positive all the time. I have a tendency to be relentlessly positive. Sometimes it works, but sometimes it doesn't. I'm not sure if my problem was the narrator, or the words, but … [Read more]

The Third Wife

The Third Wife by Lisa Jewell

September 6, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

Will forever be baffled how this book was depicted as a thriller and suspense novel. There is an underlying mystery about Adrian Wolfe’s third wife, Maya. But it’s beyond boring when all is revealed. And I swear the way the book just glosses over kind of the awful things his 5 children acted was so … [Read more]

The Vegetarian

The Vegetarian by Han Kang

September 6, 2022 by Classic 3 Comments

Trigger warning: Sexual assault Wow. I really enjoyed this. The book took a lot of twists and turns and I love how Kang turned it into three separate parts. There were so many terrible characters in this one (Yeong-hye's husband, her brother in law) that you felt for Yeong-hye and what causes her … [Read more]

Just Like Magic

Just Like Magic by Sarah Hogle

September 6, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review.  So. This was pretty awful. I think at one point I was going to DNF it, but decided to struggle through. I really hate DNFing ARCs I receive unless they really do break my brain a lot. And this one … [Read more]

Speak (Graphic Novel)

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson; Emily Carroll

September 6, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

One of the immediate things that stands out in this book is that there are updates to the time period. This happens a lot in YA books, especially when they are more than 20 years old. In old Lois Duncan novels, someone has gone back to them and added some cellphones and internet searches here and … [Read more]
