Sadly, at 20% Eligible took a nosedive. It became the most trashy version of The Bachler and strayed so far from Pride and Prejudice that it became unrecognizable. I wanted to follow in Colton’s footsteps and jump over a fence to put as much distance as possible between us. Eligible put way too much focus […]
Goodreads Updates Final Impressions I wasn’t expecting much from The Proposal to begin with. I was hoping for a fun romance with a bit of plot outside of the bedroom. Instead, I got an insipid plot with one dimensional characters. Top if off with the TMI romance scenes and I’m surprised I made it all […]
Review The Last Mrs Parrish started out strong. It dropped breadcrumbs I eagerly picked up in my quest to learn what Amber’s motive was. Sadly, that trail quickly dried up and I began sighing like Bella Swan in Twilight. The novel became like any other domestic thriller. However, despite the fact that the plot had […]
Book Impressions With the likes of the Cleveland Three, and Elizabeth Smart in the news, kidnapped women who eventually are found is a hot topic. Girl Last Seen was more on the cold side. The characters were all one dimensional, particularly the two missing girls. Because of the lack of development I didn’t form a […]
Breaking up is hard to do I went through a Jodi Picoult phase when I was in my twenties. True her novels are formulaic but they were still enjoyable and that’s the important thing. Unfortunately, that was not the case with The Tenth Circle. While it is a timely book The Tenth Circle just fell […]
Review The Pearl Sister is the fourth book in the Seven Sisters series. Like the rest of the books in the series The Pearl Sister is told in two parts, one from CeCe, the Seventh Sister in question and the second from her ancestor Kitty McBride. To be blunt, I could have done without CeCe’s […]
Big Little Lies is my first in my analysis of books vs their film (or series) counterpart. Big Little Lies has been circulating the book blogosphere for a while so the novel is nothing new, however what brought me to read it was the HBO series. It looked like a trashy romp and is one of […]
I thought Hello From the Gillespies by Monica McInerney would be a cute Christmas read with a slice of drama. In that regard, it certainly met my expectation; each character had their own story that intertwined with one another accordingly, and it held a premise that was unique to the genre of holiday stories. However, […]
First Impressions I bought into the buzz that surrounded In a Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware. The premise of murder at a bachelorette party seemed a little far-fetched, but as it had been a hyped thriller and since it is October I thought I would give it a try. Impressions While Reading Sadly, I […]
I can say one positive thing for French Lessons, it was a fast read, but that’s about all. The back cover proclaimed it as a “page-turner” I do agree with that but not for the same reason, which to be rid of the horrid story! I knew it was a romance but was expecting a […]
