ALWAYS AND FOREVER, LARA JEAN by Jenny Han | Review
I finally did it! I finished the Lara Jean trilogy by Jenny Han! It’s been quite a while since I finished a series, and I credit audiobooks with this recent development of mine. I listened to all three of these books, and you can check out my reviews of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and P.S.… Continue reading

DEAR FAHRENHEIT 451 by Annie Spence | Review
Dear Dear Fahrenheit 451 by Annie Spence, Since you are a book of letters written to other books, I feel like it’s only fitting that my review of you is also in the form of a letter to a book. (Wow, that was a lot of letters and books.) To be honest, I never even knew you existed until I randomly… Continue reading

THE LIFTED VEIL by George Eliot | Review
To be honest, I knew nothing about The Lifted Veil by George Eliot (1859) before I started reading it—and that’s precisely how I recommend approaching this little novella. I picked it up because I enjoyed Eliot’s massive novel Middlemarch and wanted to read more of her writing. However, this Victorian novella is a significant departure from Eliot’s… Continue reading

OF MICE AND MEN by John Steinbeck | Review
John Steinbeck’s classic novel Of Mice and Men is one of those books that people are usually assigned to read in high school; however, for some reason I was never assigned this in all my years of high school and as a college English major. I figured that I should probably read something by Steinbeck since I am a… Continue reading

GOOD OMENS by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman | Review
One second, I graduated college. The next second, it seemed like everyone on earth was suddenly obsessed with Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, both in novel and television series form. Eager to know what everyone was gushing about, I quickly hopped aboard this angelic/demonic train and listened to the audiobook. First, I would highly recommend this… Continue reading

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE DINOSAURS by Steve Brusatte | Review
It may surprise some people that I am an avid and enthusiastic Jurassic Park fan. I love the books by Michael Crichton, the movies (old and new), and the novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that inspired it all. You can often find me carrying around my colorful dinosaur tote bag that I bought the first day… Continue reading

P.S. I STILL LOVE YOU by Jenny Han | Review
I did it: I actually continued on with a series! It’s been quite some time since I’ve actually followed through with a series, mostly because I just didn’t have the time because of all my coursework. But the summer was the best time to catch up on all of my reading, and I ended up… Continue reading

ONGOINGNESS/300 ARGUMENTS by Sarah Manguso | Review
Ongoingness/300 Arguments by Sarah Manguso initially caught my eye on the Hatchards bookshelf because of its eye-catching design. First, I love books that are small in stature. This book also has the added bonus of actually being two books in one, and flipping it over and over again was too much fun for my little bookish heart. However, what actually… Continue reading

THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS by Ann Brashares | Review
It’s time to shout it from the rooftops, folks: I HAVE FINALLY READ THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS. I’ve heard about this book for so many years—it almost feels as though I popped out from the womb knowing deep down that I would have to read this book someday. It’s on so many YA book… Continue reading

THE HOUSE ON MANGO STREET by Sandra Cisneros | Review
The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros has always been one of those book titles that I knew, but I didn’t know how or why I knew it. Before this past summer I had never read it before, and I had never even really put together that the Sandra Cisneros I read in my… Continue reading
