It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover was another exciting library find for me. This was my first Colleen Hoover read, recommended by my lovely bookstagram friends. And it did NOT disappoint. This one blew me away, becoming my fourth 5-star read of 2021, and my 11th book review! I tend to lean towards thriller…
An Unapologetic Review of The Last Flight
A bookish friend of mine recently read this book in a day, and once I read the overview, I knew I had to read this to my TBR list. Since I’m trying to be a real adult and pay off all my debt in 2021, hence cutting back (okay, significantly slashing) my book allowance, I…
Mom Shaming: Cut that Sh#t Out
Every morning when I open my eyes and start another day of momming, I find myself looking forward to/hoping for just one thing to happen today: Mom shaming. I start off each day, excited to receive the unnecessary and unrequested feedback from strangers and people I know alike about everything I’m doing wrong with my…
An Unapologetic [NetGalley] Review of Not One of US
Review of Not One of Us by Debbie Herbert Summary: Jori Trahan has just moved back to her hometown in Alabama to care for her sick grandmother and autistic brother, and with the move comes the haunting memories of her childhood boyfriend vanishing. Jori has synesthesia, which means she can identify voices as clearly as…
An Unapologetic [NetGalley] Review of Black Buck
Black Buck by Mateo Askaripour was one of those books that I kept seeing pop up across my Book of the Month groups. That, coupled with the brightly-colored coffee cup cover art, definitely piqued my interest. So when I got the opportunity to read and review this book via NetGalley, I was pumped. I also…
An Unapologetic Review of The Half Sister
As you have probably already guessed from my previous posts and reading choices, I love a good suspense/thriller. At this stage in my life, the romance/chick lit books just aren’t doing it for me anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll slip a good “palette cleanser” book into the mix every so often when I need…
The Good Ship Mitchell is Sinking
Hello friends, long time, no see. Literally, haven’t seen most of y’all in person in like, a year now. But thanks to social media, I still know what you’re binge watching on Netflix, what books you’re reading, and when your dog’s birthday is. These are the hard-hitting facts that I need to be kept in…
An Unapologetic [NetGalley] Review of When the Stars Go Dark
Y’all, I am SO excited to share my very first NetGalley review with you! I started my Bookstagram a little over a month ago and we’re at just over 800 followers. WHAT! I was so stoked when NetGalley agreed to let me read and review this book. I’d heard of Paula McLain’s The Paris Wife,…
An Unapologetic Review of Dear Child by Romy Hausmann
I recently saw Dear Child by Romy Hausmann pop up in my bookstagram feed, and saw it described as “Room meets Gone Girl”–and that sounded right up my alley. I absolutely loved Room–it reminded me of the way I felt while reading A Child Called It when I was in high school. Not really the…
An Unapologetic Review of All the Ugly and Wonderful Things
As a newbie to BOTM, my monthly boxes almost always included the books that seemed all the rage in the #botm Facebook groups and discussion boards. This is how I ended up with All the Ugly and Wonderful Things by Bryn Greenwood in my TBR pile. When I read the synopsis, I moved it right…
