This is my fourth time reading a book by Katherine Center. She is definitely my favorite author recently. I even selected her book, The Bodyguard, for my July Book of the Month pick. My favorite novel of hers so far has been Things You Save in a Fire, which I thoroughly enjoyed. But I've also… Continue reading A Review: “Happiness for Beginners” by Katherine Center
This book was my May Book of the Month pick. I had seen it had fairly good reviews on Goodreads, and it seemed pretty popular on bookstagram, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I've never read any books by Jimenez, but I appreciated her style of writing, and of course, her Disney references.… Continue reading A Review: “Part of Your World” by Abby Jimenez
I received this book as an add-on for a Book of the Month box. With mostly positive reviews on Goodreads, I had high hopes for this novel, but unfortunately, this one missed the mark for me. "Dear Edward" is the story of Edward, a 12 year old boy who is the sole survivor of a… Continue reading A Review: “Dear Edward” by Ann Napolitano
I picked up this book while visiting Branson, Missouri last year. I mostly was drawn to it because of the beautiful cover art, but I've got to say that this book was just not my cup of tea. Written by Zinzi Clemmons, an American writer with South African roots, "What We Lose" is Clemmons' debut… Continue reading A Review: “What We Lose” by Zinzi Clemmons
OK, STOP THE PRESSES! Book of the Month has SEVEN books to choose from this March! Normally, Book of the Month (aka BOTM) allows members to choose from five books, but now, the monthly subscription service is offering seven books. I'm so excited to have more book options! I confess that BOTM has become my… Continue reading My March 2022 Book of the Month Pick
What can I say about this psychological thriller? I guess, I'll preface this review and say that I did not love this book. Told between the perspective of Livia, a mother of two grown children, and Adam, her weary husband, the book is based almost entirely during Livia's 40th birthday party -- one that she… Continue reading A Review: “The Dilemma” by B.A. Paris
I picked up this book while visiting Chicago over the summer, and it was more interesting than I thought it would be! After reading Jane Igharo's "The Sweetest Remedy", this book was also written by a Nigerian author, but oh how different this book is compared to Igharo's! Here is the book's description: "When Korede's… Continue reading A Review: “My Sister, the Serial Killer” by Oyinkan Braithwaite
This book is what I chose for my September Book of the Month. Set in Nigeria, the plot takes the reader on a journey to an affluent neighborhood and large family estate of the Jolades. Main character Hannah's father passes away, and although she did not know him, his will states that he wants her… Continue reading A Review: “The Sweetest Remedy” by Jane Igharo
This book was my July Book of the Month pick! I chose this book because I've never read anything about the black women officers during the WWII era, and I thought this would be an interesting read. This book - although it had its flaws - was an enjoyable read for me. I really enjoyed… Continue reading A Review: “Sisters in Arms” by Kaia Alderson
