The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Riddle of Ages Review
I was a fan of the series way back in middle school so when I heard they were coming out with a whole new book all these years later. I ignored it. But now I figured why not, let’s see if it holds up. So I reread the other four books and dove into The…

Pretty Little Liars Review
*I have never seen the tv show so these reviews won’t be influenced or confused by the television events. Sara Shepard’s debut series of the sleepy little town of Rosewood, Pennsylvania sparks one of the twistiest teen intrigues of the early 200s. You see, Rosewood is a town full of secrets harbored by the prettiest…

Stephanie Plum ReRead #16-20
Things sort of reach a status quo. A stagnation if you will. But that does not mean it is no less wild. What I mean is that there is not many life reflections or revelations from Stephanie this time around about finding a new line of work even though she is thoroughly rattled by the…

Stay Sexy and Don’t Get Murdered Review
Even though it always gives me nightmares of cannibals and murderers, my roommate got me addicted to the My Favorite Murder podcast by Georgia Hardstark and Karen Kilgariff. Worst idea to listen before bed, but it’s a nice background noise during homework.

These things…

Girls on Film Review
Alicia Malone loves classic films and this memoir/film guide (more memoir than film guide though) shines a light on that abudently. As she says, people like to think of their lives as movies. In her case, her life has been influenced by the movies so much she is beginning to wonder if movies imitate life…

A Reason for Hope Review
I have to tell a sort of funny story but when I skimmed the summary, I really skimmed. I thought this was a true, nonfictional story about a rape sruvivor, Tessa, her lawyer, Will and his comfort dog, Hope as they fight to put her rapist in jail. While falling in love by the way.…

Wicked Trilogy ReRead
Okay, yeah I didn’t get to Stephanie Plum #6-10 yet. It’s still out in my library so I decided to go full Diesel and read the Lizzy and Diesel trilogy or Wicked trilogy as I dubbed it due to the title. Written with Phoef Sutton, this rollicking supernatural read is much more my speed. Set…

Fruit Basket Another Review
Since I thoroughly enjoyed the original Fruit Basket series, I decided to take on the sequel. It’s a short series, only 12 chapters since it was supposed to be a limited run in celebration of the original series. As you may guess, it’s the next generation of Sohmas who are just the family that the…
