Bride

Despite finishing this book in a few days, the plot wasn't very memorable. I really like this author and heard great things about the book but it was okay, still enjoyable though.

Three Sisters

Another fascinating story of survival during the Holocaust and the family's resettlement in Isreal. Same author of the more well-known "Tatooist of Auschwitz" and MY favorite 'Cilka's journey" which seems to be less known.

The Stolen Heir

The ending and plot twist were really well written and I love how Suren and Oak had a few similar aspects to their characters as Cardan and Jude. Suren's backstory was so interesting to read about and showed another side to the events portrayed in The Folk of the Air series. I'm really excited to get to the next book and figure out what happens with Oak and his capture with the bridle.

In this book Karen decided to start adopting Grandmothers. She had more grandmothers than anybody knows. She had adopted five grandmothers and she thinks it's special. One of the grandma's makes her listen to old music and teaches her funny dance. I really enjoyed reading this book and would rate the book five stars.

3.5 stars. This was a cute read. I would have shortened it slightly, and I appreciate what other reviewers had to say about its heavy handedness with platitudes and self-help tropes, but I enjoyed it. Light but meaningful.

absolutely loved this book, can't wait to recommend to anyone I think might like this. Perfect build of teenage angst, trouble and comedy. I love the tension between the characters and the pranks sometimes played

“the” Book Of Guilt
by Catherine Chidgey

book cover


I received an ARC for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. The Book of Guilt by Catherine Chidgey is an absolutely heartbreaking story about a group of children raised on the outskirts of the English Countryside where they are raised by three women. One woman records their dreams and gives them medicine. One woman teaches them, and one woman keeps an eye on them as they sleep. All the women mark down the children's misdeeds in what is known as The Book of Guilt. The children are told that if they follow all the rules and listen, they'll be sent to an amazing place where all of their dreams will come true. All of this seems innocent enough, however, as the story continues, several red flags appear. The way the author brings out the characteristics and mannerisms of each child makes the revelations even more devastating. The manner in which these poor individuals were treated by the townspeople was outright disgusting, even after several years had gone by when the grave injustice was somewhat rectified. Sadly, I was able to envision everything that had happened because it was very close to other horrific events in history. Even now, some human beings are considered lesser due to their backgrounds; and while that isn't exactly the same as what happened here, it is still quite abominable to know that if this were happened today, there would be staunch supporters of it because they would view it as something necessary because they don't believe that everyone is equal. As heart-wrenching as the plot was, The Book of Guilt was well-written as well as enlightening about how certain things in history were able to occur without too much public knowledge. Thank you to Net Galley and the author for the ARC.

Thank god Sophie and Keefe get together, otherwise I would have DNF'd this book. I have been waiting so long for them to get together because everyone knows Keefe is better than Fitz.

Relatable and heartfelt narrative that blends romance with introspection. It’s simple and sincere and captures the emotional high and lows of young adulthood.

The Housemaid's Wedding

A sweet novella about characters you've come to love in spite of their unusual avocation. I was rooting for the marriage all along, hoping no catastrophe was going to happen. Best read after books 1 and 2 in the housemaid series.
