★★★ 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

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
Untitled
Untitled by Timothy Young My rating: 3 of 5 stars I have to admit, as an adult, I really enjoyed this book. The characters are so self aware. They know they are characters in a book, and spend some time questioning what the author is doing and why one of them completely changes species. I … Continue reading Untitled

I'm one of those people he was questioning. Why would I read this book before the … Continue reading The Unbelievably Scary Thing that Happened in Huggabie Falls
Verdigris Deep
Verdigris Deep by Frances Hardinge My rating: 3 of 5 stars Verdigris Deep is a crazy ride of a read. It is great for those that like things to be more fast paced. When three kids take coins from a wishing well to pay for bus passes, they get way more than they asked for. … Continue reading Verdigris Deep
Scars Like Wings
Scars Like Wings by Erin Stewart My rating: 3 of 5 stars I appreciate the depth Erin Stewart gave to the characters. They had complicated pasts that were slowly revealed. It's much more enjoyable to read a book where the character's actions are explained as you continue to learn more about them. If you know … Continue reading Scars Like Wings
Darth Paper Strikes Back
Darth Paper Strikes Back by Tom Angleberger My rating: 3 of 5 stars I have to say, I was as shocked by the ending as the characters. I thought I had things figured out, but no. While there is a plot twist, it didn't seem like something so out of character for Dwight that it … Continue reading Darth Paper Strikes Back
Funny, You Don’t Look Autistic
Funny, You Don't Look Autistic: A Comedian's Guide to Life on the Spectrum by Michael McCreary My rating: 3 of 5 stars Funny, You Don't Look Autistic is a humorous first hand look at life on the autism spectrum. I appreciate that while this is a memoir, it doesn't focus on just Michael's way of … Continue reading Funny, You Don’t Look Autistic
