★★★ This is one of those books that you read because it's a classic, so you read it to say that you have. I have to say, I knew nothing about the book going in, and was just basing my thoughts on the title of the book. That was the wrong way to go about … Continue reading Their Eyes Were Watching God

The Chocolate War
★ I almost DNF'd this book. I've tried to read it multiple times in the past and always given up. This time I had the audio book and so I just kept going. Honestly, the violence got to me. The teachers standing by doing nothing got to me. The whole disgusting situation just got to … Continue reading The Chocolate War
Cloud Cuckoo Land
★★★ I feel like you almost have to read this book twice to really understand it. Or may be you just have to be smarter than me. I will fully admit it took me a little while to understand what was going on and why there were so many points storylines going on that were … Continue reading Cloud Cuckoo Land
American Gods
★★★ This book took a while to really get into. I especially struggled because the language was so coarse which I struggle to read and definitely do not find enjoyable. When things really started to pick up though, I realized that I was starting to care about what happened to the characters, so somewhere along … Continue reading American Gods
A Most Agreeable Murder
★★★★ This was a fun little who-dun-it mystery set in England in the 1800s. The characters and story are all over the place in the best way possible. I will admit, I'm not good at solving mysteries to begin with, but this one completely threw me for a loop because EVERYONE looked so freaking guilty … Continue reading A Most Agreeable Murder
Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West
★★ I've read this book twice, neither time really liking it. Why read it a second time? Because I'm doing the Rory Gilmore reading challenge and for some reason have decided that even if I have read a book before, I have to read it again in order for it to count. So, here we … Continue reading Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West
One of Us Is Dead
★★★★★ This was basically a five star read. I'm not a fan of the spice, so it's a 4.75. I couldn't put this book down. The first couple chapters, I was reading other books at the same time, but that quickly changed. This book had my whole focus. It felt like watching reality TV or … Continue reading One of Us Is Dead
The Fallen Hero
★★★ I'm going to put a disclaimer at the beginning of this review. This is the second book in the series, and the series is clearly not over, but I can find nothing online about how more books are in the works, so the wait could be a while. For me personally, this was a … Continue reading The Fallen Hero

How to Disappear
How to Disappear by Sharon Huss Roat My rating: 4 of 5 stars You know I bought this book thinking that it might be a good read, but not really have a lot of depth to it. I am thrilled to say that I was wrong. I would love to hear that this book is … Continue reading How to Disappear
