Rating: 5 / 5 I am a big fan of The Breakfast Club, so hearing that this book was somewhat of a play on the classic gave it a spot on my TBR quite a while back. It has been recommended to me many a time, so I was excited to finally squeeze it into… Continue reading ONE OF US IS LYING by Karen M. McManus

AURORA RISING by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
Rating: 4 / 5 AURORA RISING by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff is book one in their new Aurora Cycle scifi/fantasy series. I loved The Illuminae Files series, so I knew I would have to pick up this book when it came out! The recent Reading Rush prompt for a purple cover gave me an… Continue reading AURORA RISING by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
WIT by Margaret Edson
Rating: 4.5 / 5 The Reading Women Reading Challenge had a prompt for a play this year and that is the one prompt that really threw me the most. Finding a play written by a woman and available through one of my local libraries proved more difficult than expected! Finally I was able to identify… Continue reading WIT by Margaret Edson
DOG ON IT by Spencer Quinn
Rating: 2.5 / 5 The Book Riot Read Harder Challenge had a prompt for a non-human POV and the recent Reading Rush readathon had a prompt for a non-human main character, so DOG ON IT by Spencer Quinn made it onto my reading list. There was of course no doubt that Kylee would have to… Continue reading DOG ON IT by Spencer Quinn
MRS. EVERYTHING by Jennifer Weiner
Rating: 4 / 5 MRS. EVERYTHING by Jennifer Weiner is a book I read for a buddy read on Instagram and I really didn't know anything about it before I picked it up. This was also my first novel by Jennifer Weiner. Sometimes it is fun to go into a read somewhat blind and see… Continue reading MRS. EVERYTHING by Jennifer Weiner
RECURSION by Blake Crouch
Rating: 5 / 5 RECURSION by Blake Crouch is a book which has received a lot of hype on bookstagram. When RECURSION was announced for the #notyomamasbookclub hosted by @downtogetthefiction and @kraysbookclub on Instagram, I immediately put it on hold at the library. I loved reading Crouch's prior book DARK MATTER in June, so I… Continue reading RECURSION by Blake Crouch
THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER by Stephen Chbosky
Rating: 3.5 / 5 THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER by Stephen Chbosky has quite the fan base, so it really needs no introduction. It has over a million reviews on Goodreads alone! It was recommended time after time for various reading challenge prompts I've done over the past couple years, so it has been… Continue reading THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER by Stephen Chbosky
THE BRIDE TEST by Helen Hoang
Rating: 4 / 5 I am not a big romance reader these days, but sometimes you just need a fun read to snuggle up with... and a fun puppy too. My little girl Kylee LOVES socks! Thankfully she loves them a little less than my last dog (he had to go in for an emergency… Continue reading THE BRIDE TEST by Helen Hoang
HOTEL ON THE CORNER OF BITTER AND SWEET by Jamie Ford
Rating: 4.5 / 5 HOTEL ON THE CORNER OF BITTER AND SWEET by Jamie Ford is a book that I had planned to use for a reading challenge prompt last year, but I switched it out at the last minute when a book I was already reading met the requirement. I recently obtained a copy… Continue reading HOTEL ON THE CORNER OF BITTER AND SWEET by Jamie Ford
THE NIGHT DIARY by Veera Hiranandani
Rating: 4 / 5 THE NIGHT DIARY by Veera Hiranandani was one of the discussion book picks for the Reading Women Podcast's July theme on the Partition of India. This is a subject that I am very lacking in knowledge on, so it was one that very much interested to read along. Being a middle… Continue reading THE NIGHT DIARY by Veera Hiranandani
