Review: I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid
Sometimes a thought is closer to truth, to reality, than an action. You can say anything, you can do anything, but you can't fake a thought.
Let me start this off by saying, if you plan on reading this book, don't look up a single thing about it. Go in blind and see where it takes you. Trust me, you'll have the best experience.
~ I'D RECOMMEND NOT READING THE FOLLOWING IF YOU PLAN ON READING THE BOOK ~
This book is insane. It's petrifying, grotesque, but all the same, r

Review: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (Spoiler-Free)
I was not expecting to love this so much. I've seen most of the movies, felt like I already knew the story going in, but wow was I wrong. Yes, I was aware of the major plot points going in, but something the movies hadn't conveyed to me was the mind behind each character.
Being written in first person elevated this story so much further than I was expecting. Hearing her inner thoughts brought a new side of Katniss out to me. Katniss Everdeen is one of, if not the best prota

Review: The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne (Spoiler-Free)
After all, the great joy of literature, as opposed to politics or religion, is that it embraces differing opinions, it encourages debate, it allows us to have heated conversations with our closest friends and dearest loved ones. And through it all, no one gets hurt, no one gets taken away from their homes, and no one gets killed. - John Boyne (Introduction)
The title page of this book reads, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, a fable by John Boyne. It seems as though many peop

Review: Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout (Spoiler-Free)
Reading Rush book 1 complete!
'You didn't listen to me,' he murmured against my shoulder.
'I never listen to you.'
Okay yes I understand that this book isn't the most original thing on the planet (ha! see what I did there?), nor is it the most intellectually stimulating but... it was really fun okay?!
I'm really glad I picked this for a readathon- it's a perfect choice. It's a super quick read; each chapter leaves you saying, just one more. Something about the writing,

Re-read Review: Turtles All the Way Down by John Green (Spoiler-Free)
Re-read 2020
After 3 ½ months stuck in quarantine, I think it really started getting to me. I needed something I knew I would fall right into, something that would remind me everything will go on. I was a teensy bit nervous to read this one again, just because it's been three years since I started calling Turtles All the Way Down my favorite book, three years since I read it at all.
Any and all concerns were gone once my eyes focused on the first page. I debated marking m

Review: Special Agent by Candice DeLong w/ Elisa Petrini
This book truly felt like it was catered to me. I love learning about the BAU, true crime, watching Criminal Minds, Mindhunter, etc., but I'd always wondered how agents can be so level-headed and confident in catching these criminals. I'd also especially been curious about how women did this, with that added layer of doubt from their peers.
This book provided incredible insight from a heroic woman (one of many over the years), who was able to overcome all of this and pursue
