Wrong Place Wrong Time
by Gillian McAllister

I was not a fan of this novel although I typically enjoy time travel stories. It was too convoluted and disconnected for me. I read to the end hoping it would all come together. Unfortunately, it was a disappointing read for me.

The story revolves around a skeleton found in the New Mexico Badlands. A female FBI agent is called in to work the case. She partners with a female acheaologist. Together they discover a cult wose leader is trying to bring back an evil Indian spirit. Preston & Child do not disppoint. I enjoyed this story.

Lie With Me

I need to stop reading these sad gay books and expect myself to not cry. As if the whole basis is yearning, wanting to escape, abandonment, cold fathers, and absolutely gut-wrenching, makes me want to throw up, empty feeling moments. (aka me as a book)

Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone

I truly loved this book, with it's fantastic world building and the way the author eases us into the world itself. While the wizarding world is parallel to the real one, it is still like reading and experiencing the wizarding world itself. Love the way the character or Hermione is written, with her being the book smart, contrasting against Harry's spell smart and Ron's street smart.

Tegan and Sara: Junior High SIGNED

As an identical twin, I LOVED this book. I enjoyed how their conversations where actually accurate like normal siblings and they weren't arguing about who was older. Also, I loved how they fought over the guitar in the book because my sister and I share a piano and we fight over it ALL the time. Overall, this book was a quick yet fun read.

Dear Evan Hansen

To be honest, I was expecting a lot more out of the book because of how famous it is. It ended up just being about a boy who accidentally ended up being the "best friend" of a kid who killed himself. All because of a letter he wrote. I understand the overall message of the book was much more than the story, yet I still couldn't let go of the fact that I didn't really connect with it as well as I hoped to. It was a quick read, so I was thankful, but I am still disappointed.

Intense drama for a teen boy who is introvert. Kept me engaged and enthusiastic to keep reading and finding out what happens next. I can’t wait to see if I finish the saga.

Escape Velocity

book cover


This title was not to my liking. I didn't feel any of the characters were likeable or at all sympathetic, though many were pathetic. It seemed to me that it couldn't decide what it wanted to be, a murder mystery or a revolutionary theme. Because of this each aspect was handled with a rather heavy hand and with little real affect. After all the build up throughout the story the ending was a big flop. None of it worked for this reader!

A Good Girl's Guide To Murder

4 stars This book is one of the reasons I love thrillers. This book tugged at my heart when need be, it kept me at the edge of my seat, my nerves were screaming and I even felt moved to tears. I love the idea and the usage of this being a story with the Capstone report, police reports, recordings and other suspect murder boards. Also, the Ravi and Pippa part? I loved it. I also really loved that the romance wasn’t the forefront or main sub-genere in this book until wayyy at the end. It was mostly on finding the killer with subtle-but cute-moments between the two. I’ll be looking forward to reading the next book!
