• Summer Romances

  Pride, Prejudice and Other Flavors by Sonali Dev It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the flux of Pride and Prejudice adaptations and wonder if there can be any new spin to the Jane Austen classic. Well Sonali not only brings a new spin but elevates the classic by further exploring the themes of classism that…

• Hello, Psycho

  No one goes to intentionally befriend a psycopath. The problem is once you see past their charisma and friendliness and start piecing together the gaps in their stories, they may be onto you and will do anything to shut you up. At least that’s how it is for these protagonists. We Were Never Here by…

• 4 books-Mini Reviews

  I was going to put all 4 titles but it looked clunky. Now here’s 4 books I read over April that were good but I didn’t feel like they warranted one big review each. Dangerous Play by Emma Kress Now this teaches me not to judge a book by its cover or title or summary.…

They all have short two page or one page chapters which make it compelling to read as it always makes you want to turn the next page for more and before you know it, you’ve read 300 pages of emotional turmoil, resistance, spirit and heartbreak. Now the Forgotten…

  I put this book under book highlights because I am so biasedly incapable of doing an objective review of this. This book by Steve Kluger is just wholesomely wonderful. Not in the sacherrine way but in a this is how life and people should be. Characters are everything to me when I read, and I…
