GENRE: Realistic Fiction/Mystery I came away from Where the Crawdads Sing(paid link) a little unsure with how I felt about it (an unpopular opinion, I know). It took me longer than normal to truly get into it, but towards the end I was thoroughly enjoying it. It’s about a young girl, Kya, who is known … More “Where the Crawdads Sing” By: Delia Owens
Genre: Mystery/Thriller Up to this point, Ruth’s novels have been “one for two” for me; one in which I loved (“The Woman in Cabin 10”), and the other two which I haven’t liked too much (“The Lying Game”, and “In a Dark, Dark Wood”). With The Death of Mrs. Westaway(paid link), I feel a bit … More “The Death of Mrs.Westaway” By: Ruth Ware
GENRE: Mystery/Thriller As I mentioned in a previous post, I prescribed to a monthly box called Scriblr, and Hunting Annabelle(paid link) is another book I received in one of the boxes.

It is about a girl named Hanna, who is a doctor that repairs and inspects ancient historical … More “People of the Book” By: Geraldine Brooks
Genre: Realistic Fiction/Romance Once and For All(paid link) is definitely a classic Sarah Dessen teen romance novel. So, if you’re not a fan of Sarah Dessen or teen romance novels, this is definitely NOT the book for you. Reading this was a bit of reminiscing for me, and I loved the simplicity of the way … More “Once and For All” By: Sarah Dessen
GENRE: Fantasy I recently subscribed to a monthly writer’s box called Scriblr, where they send you various stuff each month, including a new novel. Kill the Queen(paid link) is one of the novels sent to me by them, and while it is a rare fantasy read for me, I enjoyed it very much. I was … More “Kill the Queen” By: Jennifer Estep
GENRE: Realistic Fiction Overall, I really enjoyed Tumbleweeds (paid link). While it is rather long, I feel like it went by too quickly. It’s a novel about love, pain, regret, jealousy, sorrow, loss, anger, and more. Essentially, it’a about everything that makes us human. To be more specific, it is about three friends; Cathy, John, … More “Tumbleweeds” By: Leila Meacham
