Rating: 5 / 5 THROUGH THE WOODS by Emily Carroll is a graphic novel which tells five horror stories. I had seen this pop up in a booktube review or two and when I went googling for graphic novels written by women for the #RWM19 bingo board, this one was on the list. As I’m… Continue reading THROUGH THE WOODS by Emily Carroll

THE FORGOTTEN GIRLS by Sara Blaedel
Rating: 3 / 5 I am a HUGE fan of used bookstores - I really couldn't afford to read as much as I do without getting a good deal on books in addition to using my local libraries! I have a fabulous little used book store that I have been visiting since I was in… Continue reading THE FORGOTTEN GIRLS by Sara Blaedel
HOME FIRE by Kamila Shamsie
Rating: 4 / 5 As you can see, my copy of HOME FIRE by Kamila Shamsie has been very well broken in (it arrived pretty beat up from a used book distributor). I was a little bit disappointed in the condition when it arrived, but once I started reading the book I was completely enthralled… Continue reading HOME FIRE by Kamila Shamsie
THE WEDDING DATE by Jasmine Guillory
Rating: 3.5 / 5 THE WEDDING DATE by Jasmine Guillory was my pick for the wedding prompt on this year’s Popsugar Reading Challenge.

This book follows Alexa and Drew, two strangers that meet when they get stuck in an elevator… Continue reading THE WEDDING DATE by Jasmine Guillory
LOOK ALIVE OUT THERE by Sloane Crosley
Rating: 3.5/5 LOOK ALIVE OUT THERE by Sloane Crosley is one of the books I was lucky to win in a giveaway from the Reading Women and Picador so it seemed an appropriate collection of essays to read to fulfill the Essays prompt for the Reading Women's birthday month game of bingo! I wasn’t familiar… Continue reading LOOK ALIVE OUT THERE by Sloane Crosley
SHELTER by Jung Yun
Rating: 5/5 SHELTER by Jung Yun made it onto my radar when I was going back through old episodes of the Reading Women podcast and learned that this book was chosen for their 2016 Reading Women Award for fiction. Now that the podcast is celebrating its third birthday, it seemed a good time to finally pick up… Continue reading SHELTER by Jung Yun
A look back at May…
May was a good reading month for me with 24 books read! May started off really well. I joined my first buddy reads / book clubs during the month and I loved the book discussions. I hosted my first giveaway over on Bookstagram and I read the some amazing books (11 of them!) in the… Continue reading A look back at May…
My June TBR
My list of possibilities for June is largely made up of buddy reads and the Reading Women Month BINGO prompts (which nicely cross over with a lot of books already on my TBR and challenge lists). Not all books have arrived just yet from my book sale shopping, but most have (more than enough!). My… Continue reading My June TBR
