Book Review: Killing Pace
Another book review coming your way! Killing Pace by Douglas Schofield is a crime/mystery novel. At under 300 pages, it’s a quick and interesting read. It is definitely the kind of crime novel where you are not able to really make predictions or guess what’s going to happen because the reader isn’t given any real clues or hints to theorize on. But, I still enjoyed the book even though I couldn’t make my own guesses – that actually kept me on my toes and kept me reading to find out what would happen next. When the novel begins, the main character is confused and not sure what is going on. She lives…

New Book: The Six Gifts
New book alert! The Six Gifts Part I: Secrets by Christie K. Kelly was just released last week and I was lucky enough to be sent a copy. I haven’t had a chance to read the book yet, but I wanted to put a spotlight on the book since it just hit the shelves a few days ago. Here is some info on the book: At some point, we all question why we’re here on this planet, in this life. Our searching protagonist, Olivia Alfieri has more reason than most to ask these, as she racks up near death experiences and clearly clairvoyant visions. Make room in your schedule for some self-reflection, and frantic…

Sherlock Homes | Lucy James Series
My book review for you all today is a little bit different than usual. That’s because instead of delving in to one book, I am giving a brief overview of a book series. A while ago I was sent two books from the Sherlock Holmes/Lucy James mystery series – The Crown Jewel Mystery and Remember, Remember. Authors Anna Elliott and Charles Veley (a father/daughter duo) pen the mystery series following Sherlock Holmes and his daughter Lucy James. I hadn’t had a chance to read these two when I was sent the newest story, Die Again, Mr. Holmes. So as soon as I finished reading my last book, which I didn’t exactly love, I…

Too Far Media
*This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are my own.* If you enjoy reading as much as I do, you’ll try to read wherever you can and whatever medium you can. Whether it’s a physical book, e-book, audio book, on your phone, etc. I recently downloaded the app Too Far Media where author Rich Shapero has four stories that fuse fiction, music, and art. The app is free and it’s a really cool immersive experience. Definitely check it out!

Book Review: Checking Out of the Hotel Euthanasia
I’m finally back with another book review! Checking Out of the Hotel Euthanasia was sent to me a while ago but I finally got around to reading and finishing it. The fictional novel is a satire based around this luxury hotel that offers euthanasia/assisted suicide. The novel took me a little bit to get in to but once the story started moving along I found the satirical story entertaining. The story jumps around to different characters and also jumps back and forth a bit in time. Essentially, you’re reading to find out how these different characters all end up at the Hotel Euthanasia, located in a small principality somewhere in Europe.…

January 2019 Favorites
This month has both felt like it’s flown by and dragged on. I can’t believe it’s the last day of January, but at the same time the holidays and winter break feels like ages ago. Anyone else feel that way? As with the end of every month, I’m sharing my monthly favorites today. Let’s get started! First off, Outlander came back for season 4 back in November, but I didn’t catch up until this month. I’m still 3 episodes behind, but the season finale has just aired over the weekend. Now I need to decide if I want to hurry and watch those 3 episodes or if I want to savor…

Book Review: Becoming
One of the things I wished for on my Secret Santa wishlist was Becoming – Michelle Obama’s book. My Secret Santa got it for me and as soon as I felt that the gift was in the shape of a book I knew what it was and I was so excited! I spent the past week reading the 400+ page book and I was enthralled and obsessed with the entire book. Every page of it! I won’t give anything away, because you should read it for yourself, but I’ll tell you a little about it and why I love it. In Becoming, Michelle Obama talks about her life starting from her humble beginnings…

Book Review: Death in a Mudflat
For today’s book review I’m talking about Death in a Mudflat and I have mixed feelings about it. It is part of the Rhe Brewster mystery series. When I first received the book I didn’t realize this was a series (or I just didn’t remember them telling me that once I got around to reading it because it was sent to me a few months ago) or that this wasn’t the first book of the series. It’s okay though because you don’t really need to know what happened before this book. Although there are returning characters from previous books you don’t really need to have read those to read this one. Any…

365 Days of Happiness
“New year, new me” is something a lot of people say every new year. It’s a time to wipe the slate clean and start fresh. You can technically make the decision to start fresh any time, but the first of the year always seems like a good time. For about half of 2018, I was mindful of myself. Trying to work towards being the best version of myself, being more mindful of putting positive energy out in hopes of positive energy coming back to me. All that jazz. I’m still trying to do those things, but it is hard! Sometimes, you just feel like life is trying to keep you…

Book Review: The Enchanted Sonata
The book I’m talking about today is extremely fitting for the holiday season. When I was asked if I wanted to read The Enchanted Sonata by Heather Dixon Wallwork and was given a synopsis, I immediately said yes. I like a wide range of books, but this kind of book really has a special place in my heart. The Enchanted Sonata is described as a retelling cross between The Nutcracker and The Pied Piper. It’s about a 16 year old girl named Clara who has been studying for years to become a famous pianist who is magically transported to another world where there are rats trying to invade cities and kill people and the candies are…
