Verity

Verity by Colleen Hoover

May 20, 2026 by jeverett15 Leave a Comment

There are two reasons I opted to spend a few hours of my one precious life reading a Colleen Hoover novel. The first is the upcoming film adaptation starring Dakota Johnson and, more importantly, Anne Hathaway. (I am violating my longstanding ban on "Now a Major Motion Picture" cover for Hathaway.) … [Read more]

Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus

Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus

May 20, 2026 by Classic Leave a Comment

Trigger warning: Rape I have to say that I really enjoyed this novel, but after a while it dragged for me. I loved the characters of Elizabeth and Calvin, but the book started to feel flat to me after [incident] and then it just felt a bit like it spun it's wheels til we synched up with how … [Read more]

The Re-Do List by Denise Williams

The Re-Do List by Denise Williams

May 20, 2026 by Classic Leave a Comment

I really liked this romance by Denise Williams. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars was honestly I think that there were some tiny plot holes left open with some of the friend group, and also with Willow's brother, but I imagine this may get followed up on in a subsequent book since this is … [Read more]

The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton

May 20, 2026 by Zirza Leave a Comment

I don’t know how I ended up reading so many books about gay men this year (and I still have Song of Achilles on my TBR, so go figure) but by and large I’m enjoying myself, so whatever.    The Long Game (Rachel Reid) ***½ Shane and Ilya are back! Everyone’s favourite gay hockey players have … [Read more]

The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa

May 19, 2026 by ElCicco Leave a Comment

The Memory Police is an unsettling novel. The descriptions I read in advance made it sound a bit like 1984 or Fahrenheit 451. It is a dystopian novel, and it does involve the authoritarian suppression of knowledge and personal freedom, but while I think of 1984 and Fahrenheit 451 as “political” … [Read more]

Lost in the woods

Heartwood by Amity Gaige

May 19, 2026 by Sophia Leave a Comment

Heartwood (2025) by Amity Gaige is yet another book that I originally saw on NPR's Favorite Books List. It is about a woman who goes missing on the Appalachian Trail (AT) and the search to find her. Heartwood sounded like something I would like, so I got it from my library back in December. But I … [Read more]
