Weekly Wrap-up is where I share happenings on the blog, and books I have read or acquired recently. I link to Caffeinated Book Reviewer, The Book Date, Sunday Salon, and, Reading Reality Off The Blog This past week I was at my family’s lake house. I spent a lot of time reading on the deck, […]
Review Done Quick: Before We Were Innocent is a quick summer read. At first, I thought the book would be more of a thriller; however, it soon unraveled into a book about entitled female relationships. Bess, Joni, and Evangeline were all very one-dimensional characters, and because of their spoiled nature ie, being bored in Greece […]
Thursday Tea is a weekly meme highlighting what I’m currently reading (and drinking) and whether I feel the two complement each other. The Book The Beverage: I’ve been drinking coffee with a caramel creamer. While tasty, I think a green tea would be better suited for Water Moon. This is because all of the pawnshop’s […]
I took an extended hiatus from blogging earlier this year, dusting off my keyboard in mid-May. I really missed recording my thoughts on what I read. While I may not be back in full force, I’m dipping my toes back in. Books Read Books Reviewed Book Club Selections Proposed Monthly TBR: I link up to […]
Reviews Done Quick My Lovely Wife will twist your mind and give you whiplash. I love a good domestic thriller, but Samantha Downing’s book was unhinged. The book had good pacing and snappy dialogue.

The Infinite Sadness of Small Appliances gave me Brave Little Toaster feels in the best way possible. Our main character is a Roomba named Scout. Similar to Jean Louise Finch, Scout is curious and brave, which gets her into quite a bit of trouble. Glenn Dixon mirrors the narrative of To Kill A Mockingbird. I […]

I read The Other Black Girl by Zakiya Dalila Harris for my book club, and while it did make for good discussion, I have mixed feelings. I really enjoyed the Devil Wears Prada vibe I was getting. However, I found the characters to be unlikeable. Therefore, I developed little interest in the outcome of their […]
