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…
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…
An Unapologetic Review of The Push
As you probably already know, I am obsessed with my Book of the Month subscription. My addiction has gotten infinitely “worse” (I would say “more devoted,” my husband would disagree with this word choice) since I discovered the Facebook groups dedicated to buying, selling, and swapping book selections. So, I get one book every month…
An Unapologetic Review of The House in the Cerulean Sea
A book-loving friend recently posted that she was reading The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune, and when I read the synopsis, this quickly became my most anticipated book of 2020. It sounded like the perfect blend of Harry Potter meets Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children,with some 1984 and Umbrella Academy thrown…
An Unapologetic Review of The Girl with the Louding Voice
As you probably already know (because I never shut up about it), I am a semi-new but very enthusiastic member of the Book of the Month club. I’ve loved reading for as long as I can remember: I have vivid memories of the Book Fair coming to the library of St. Eleanor School, and being…
An Unapologetic Review of In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren
Okay, before we dive into the review of this delightfully festive, light and airy Christmasy novel, I wanted to share something I learned about the author: or, as I learned, authors. Christina Lauren is actually the pen name for longtime best buds and writing partners, Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings. They’ve written several other books…
An Unapologetic Review of Troubles in Paradise by Elin Hilderbrand
Fact: I am an Elin Hilderbrand fangirl. When a new Elin book is released, I either have an advanced copy already ordered or run to the book store within 24 hours to pick it up. Another fact: I have read every book she’s ever written. So naturally, I knew the final book in the Paradise…
