So, this month was not nearly as productive as last month. As expected, life is catching up. The enthusiasm for the books is dying down a bit. Setting in for the year has happened. But it was still a decently good month, all things considered. Here they are: Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen. Not my… Continue reading February Wrap Up 2017
Taken from my Goodreads review and slightly edited. A sci-fi retelling of persuasion? It’s real? It exists? Apparently so. And for me? It delivered. Let’s be clear, the world building is strange. But it captures the essence of Persuasion about as much as I could want, so I can’t even be grumpy. Elliot and Kai… Continue reading For Darkness Shows The Stars — Diana Peterfreund
As promised, the book version of favorite couples. For as much as I read, favorites couples are hard to come by. For the TV, I watch them come alive. There’s generally multiple season to watch them evolve. For the books, there’s generally only one, maybe a whole series that probably includes a lot of intense… Continue reading Favorite Book Couples

I adored most of this book. My tolerance for disturbing books has been heightened over the past several years, but this book reached… Continue reading Nevernight — Jay Kristoff
The other day I was having a conversation with a coworker, and she asked if I ever read classics because I feel like it. My answer was yes, but I don’t generally read a lot of them. Heck, last year I don’t think I read any at all. There’s a part of me that wants… Continue reading To Read or Not to Read… a Classic?
Okay. I have a confession. I’ve watched this movie (aka Persuasion) pretty much every day this week. The 2007 version, although I now have a copy of the one from the 90s. It’s been awhile since I’ve watched, . But the nice thing is, the movie is just as great as I remember. No. Scratch… Continue reading Persuasion 2.0
