Catching Christmas {Review}
I accidentally read a Christian Christmas Romance novel, guys. I found this book while wandering the aisles of my local library and the book jacket only talked about the fact that there’s a taxi driver who has to ferry an old lady with dementia around town. It was pretty cute though. The last half was… Continue reading Catching Christmas {Review}
My Top Ten 2019 Bookish Resolutions
Today is a freebie for Top Ten Tuesday, so I thought I’d revisit one of my favorites (on another blog) – Ten Book-related Resolutions. I always do a Goodreads Challenge – mine for 2019 will be the same as 2018: 60 books. I’d like to (finally) complete a Popsugar Reading Challenge and/or a Book Riot… Continue reading My Top Ten 2019 Bookish Resolutions
Christmas with You: Gabriel’s Angel / Home for Christmas {Review}
3 Stars because half the book wasn’t even about Christmas. It was wintery, but not Christmas. Gabriel’s Angel is a really cute story and predictable in the best way. I love a good ‘rescue from a snowbank’ and this one delivered. It was a little bit ‘insta-love’, but I feel like that’s really due to… Continue reading Christmas with You: Gabriel’s Angel / Home for Christmas {Review}

10 Horror Novels I Can’t Wait to Read
I don’t really go for very horrific horror novels, if you haven’t been able to tell from my review choices this October. I love creepy books, though. When the suspense and eerie feelings ratchet up to a crescendo, that’s when I’m most intrigued. There’s a list on Goodreads called Space Horror that I keep meaning to… Continue reading 10 Horror Novels I Can’t Wait to Read
The Right Hand of Evil {Review}
7 out of 10? I really liked it but didn’t love it. This is probably the first (only?) actual horror novel I’ve read for Blogoween. I used to love John Saul books, and this one has just sitting on my shelf, begging to be read. I finally gave in because I needed a not-just-Gothic-or-semi-creepy-but-actually-horror book in my… Continue reading The Right Hand of Evil {Review}
I Remember You: A Ghost Story {Review}
My favorite thing about reading a novel in translation is that not all words are translatable and you have to stumble through them the best you can. I don’t speak Icelandic so it was fun to look up pronunciations for names of towns and people. Don’t ask me to say them out loud, though,… Continue reading I Remember You: A Ghost Story {Review}
The Darkling Bride {Review}
A solid 4 stars. This book refuses you to miss the connections with Jane Eyre. It’s a quality book, though. Eerie vibes throughout the novel help set the stage and unexplained references to a main character’s shady past help to set the mood for most of the novel. There’s a lot going on in here,… Continue reading The Darkling Bride {Review}
Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate {Review}
Memphis, 1939. Twelve-year-old Rill Foss and her four younger siblings live a magical life aboard their family’s Mississippi River shantyboat. But when their father must rush their mother to the hospital one stormy night, Rill is left in charge—until strangers arrive in force. Wrenched from all that is familiar and thrown into a Tennessee Children’s… Continue reading Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate {Review}
