TBR Thursday is a weekly meme hosted here at First Impressions Reviews. It’s a chance to showcase what is on your to be read pile. It doesn’t matter if it’s one book or the whole stack, the point is to share great books and why they were added to that ever growing tbr mountain. On […]
Reading Progress Review Siren Queen had an interesting premise however it was very slow going. I felt like the author was trying to do too much with the plot. A magical realism, historical novel set in pre-code Hollywood is a tall order and, unfortunately, it fell short. Luli, our Esther Blodgettesque character never fully developed […]

Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings to spotlight and talk about the books we’re excited about.

I link to Caffeinated Book Reviewer, The Book Date, and Reading Reality Off The Blog This was a busy week. On Thursday, we had a short photo session with our wedding photographer to take some couples portraits. […]
Reading Progress First Impressions Elevation drew me in almost immediately. Despite the similarities to Thinner I was intrigued, Stephen King creates individual characters in every book he writes. I looked forward to listening and learning more about Scott Carey. However, Stephen King made me feel invested in Scott Carey as a person as the focus […]
My tbr is getting out of control. It is time to take action and remind myself of all those goodies on my shelf. To get motivated I started a meme, To Be Read Thursday. Each week, I will highlight one book that I physically own, be it arc, bought, paperback or ebook, and is on […]
Bite-Sized Review: Despite having read the book and knowing the plot Sharp Objects still had me on the seat of my chair. It is a series I wish I could see again for the first time. It is dark, secretive, and has the creepiest, perfect pacing. Amy Adams and Eliza Scanlen play off each other […]
