It’s corn! (I can tell you all about it)

What Stalks Among Us by Sarah Hollowell

by Leave a Comment

When best friends Sadie and Logan stumble across a strange corn maze out of season, they decide to venture inside on a lark. But when they stumble across what appear to be their own murdered bodies, they discover that they have become trapped in a time loop with a murderer on their heels. Thank you dreadpiratekel for putting this book on my radar – their review mentioned monsters made of corn, time loops, and all the way in which toxic people suck, and I was […]

It’s time for the heavy-weight competitors of the Self-Help category! A team up of not two but three books that are written by highly regarded mental health professionals and containing a wealth of helpful and, in this combo, complimentary advice on how to get over your damn shit! Okay but seriously, the combo of these books and the order I read them in was really great, which is why I’m doing a triple review. The Journey from Abandonment to Healing: Surviving and recovering from the […]

“Don’t dismiss your emotions and your self-protection as just a fucked-up decision. Don’t reduce something so complex and real and important to nothing.”

Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert

by 6 Comments

I loved Get a Life, Chloe Brown. I swooned, I laughed, I commiserated. Hibbert delivered on all fronts. This is my first Talia Hibbert book (I’ve followed her on Twitter for quiet awhile and enjoy her greatly there), and it lives up to the hype. In broad strokes, it’s a relatively slow burn romance that slips right past enemies to lovers tropes and instead lands in the “you annoy me but once I actually get to know you I’m enamored of you” zone which isn’t […]
