I had some high expectations for this one. Especially considering I was on hold for it from Libby for over 6 months! It took me a plane ride to whip through this one, and I was sadly disappointed come the end. The major plot twist everyone talked about, didn't really come until the very end....and really, it can't be...
I'd been dying to jump into another gripping series ever since I finished The Lunar Chronicles.
This book was incredible. It's hard to believe that something so severe happened to Susannah Cahalan, a young reporter for the New York Post, without any warning or medical trigger. Now, a survivor of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, Susannah works to spread awareness in hopes of ensuring people receive accurate diagnosis, as well as timely...
This was an interesting read for me. It was very deep and moving, but honestly, overall, it's hard to describe. It covers discrimination, addiction, abuse, and tragedy. Each and every character struggles immensely with both internal and external conflicts that plague their lives. Some are able to find the light at the end of the tunnel, while...
I finished The Disappeared the other day, and only recently discovered that it was part of a series surrounding the character Joe Pickett. It's actually the 18th book!! I trusted the hype this book received and jumped right in (once it finally came off my Libby waitlist), without really having any clue what it would entail. That being said, The...
WOW WOW WOW...I was extremely hesitant to read this book because I loved Beartown so much and I wasn't sure if a second book would do the characters justice. Have no fear...I was very wrong. Everyone who loves Beartown should absolutely read this book. The characters are beautifully done and the plot line will make you never want to...
Honestly, this one was kind of a let down for me. I had a hard time connecting with the characters, which made keeping up with them difficult. When I initially read the synopsis for this book, I was intrigued, and stoked to purchase it on my nook because at the time it was only $3 for this New York...
I recently got a kindle (YAY) and because of my purchase, was given a free 7 day trial of kindle unlimited. Obviously, I quickly scoured through potential books and decided on trying to finish Girls' Night Out before the free trial expired. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. Each chapter was written from one of the three women's' perspectives before, after, and...
The story of Nike's creation is absolutely fascinating. Phil Knight details the sleepless nights, immense sacrifices and joyous success he found in creating what is now known as Nike. His team of dedicated colleagues, who are more accurately described as best friends, work together to fulfill the ultimate shoe dream. Evading bankruptcy, challenging...
Fredrik Backman has a special way of easing his readers into grasping the intricacies of all his characters. Within a single chapter, you get glimpses of various characters' perspectives, thoughts and actions. A few paragraphs on Peter's conversation with Sune, will then switch to a few paragraphs of what his wife Kira was doing while Peter was...
