2 stars I received a copy of this book through Goodreads’ First Reads in exchange for an honest review. I really hate leaving bad reviews, but this book and I just did not get along. I respect the author’s ability to use world-building to survive in a mentally abusive marriage and am thankful that she…

3 stars I received this book from Bookriot in exchange for a honest review. My favorite thing about this book is how varied it is. At the same time that is also what I dislike about the book, but for the most part, it works as an advantage. For starters, because it’s so varied I…

2 stars A quick read. Stupid, yet oddly hilarious. It’s not the best parody I have ever read, but it is still pretty funny. I don’t regret the dollar I spent on it.

5 stars I received this book from Goodreads’ First Reads in exchange for an honest review. Chanel Brenner takes a tragic, heart-wrenching loss in her life and creates awe-inspiring beauty from it.

It’s the main character figuring out life. It isn’t necessarily the events that…

3 stars I received this book from Goodreads’ First Reads in exchange for an honest review.   Prepare for one of those rant reviews.   Overall, this book was a very informative case study of a mother retelling her daughter’s treatment for Autism, dyslexia, and ADD using Energy Medicine. As a person with a B.A….

4 stars A funny book filled with silly stories. I will admit watching Ellen DeGeneres is funnier than reading her work, because of her timing and body language, but this book is still quite humorous.

3 stars The thing I really liked about this book was that it stayed true to the characters. For the most part, Xena stayed Xena and Gabrielle stayed Gabrielle. At times the dialog got a little awkward (overuse of “I mean” or lengthy explanations), but I think a lot of that had to do with…
