I can’t think of a reason not to give this five stars.

Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute by Talia Hibbert

May 3, 2023 by narfna Leave a Comment

Just FYI, I do not want to write this review. I’m feeling real cranky but I need to catch up on reviews, and it just so happens that I have to write a review for this book that was just a perfect little YA romance that I don’t have much to say about (this may change as I type), so I’m just basically starting this review by stream-of-conscious word vomiting to try to get the thoughts flowing because I read this back in fEbRuArY. Oh, […]

An extremely unexpected new favorite.

Liar, Dreamer, Thief by Maria Dong

February 2, 2023 by narfna Leave a Comment

This book spoke to me. Katrina Kim is the most lovable, vulnerable mess of a human. I would find it concerning how much I identified with her* if I wasn’t too busy enjoying every bonkers moment of this book. I was worried as I approached the end, given how I’d lost my mind over it so far, that the ending wouldn’t do Katrina justice, but I shouldn’t have been worried. I cried happy tears and felt much resolution. *I have OCD and she does too, […]

I feel like a Jerk, but I didn’t like it

The Pleasure of My Company by Steve Martin

November 27, 2022 by KimMiE" Leave a Comment

Steve Martin is a talented guy. He’s had a successful stand-up comedy and acting career since the 1970s; he’s written/co-written funny screenplays like The Jerk, Three Amigos, and L.A. Story; he’s published novels and written a Broadway musical; he’s an avid art collector and he plays a mean banjo; he’s won five Grammys, an Emmy, and a host of other awards. Throw in that stint performing magic on Main Street in Disneyland and you can say he’s lived a highly successful life. So, I feel kind […]

“Doing something even though I was scared felt kind of amazing.”

Just Roll With It by Veronica Agarwal and Lee Durfey-Lavoie

July 11, 2022 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

I really loved this book and I hope it ends up getting the recognition it deserves. Just Roll With It follows Maggie during her first year of middle school as she makes new friends and gets involved with the D&D/role playing club. The main reason I got this book is that it’s a realistic and careful portrayal of OCD and anxiety, which made it a very relatable read. Both of the creators have struggled with mental health and I think it really adds to the realism […]

Little Disasters cover

Being a mother seems difficult…

Little Disasters by Sarah Vaughn

May 31, 2021 by msvreadsbooks Leave a Comment

It’s so interesting to me to see how many novels and movies and personal stories have been focused on post-natal depression. At first, it seemed like a fluke. A once-in-a-while thing that affects some women sometimes. As more narratives are created and shared, it seems far more common than I thought. This novel explores several intertwined stories of mothers. Mothers who love their children, but whose emotions and brain chemistry don’t match those feelings. Mothers who had children when they weren’t ready, but their partner […]
