Admittedly, I picked up Emily Itami’s apparently critically acclaimed debut novel, Fault Lines, I did so because of how short it looked. As my friend said, “sometimes there’s nothing wrong with a short novel.” And she’s right. I actually really, really enjoyed this!

Book Review: Unhinged (Necessary Evils) by Onley James
Recently I’ve been feeling a little unmotivated to read mainly because I’ve been picking some average or below average titles. The algorithms that be decided that Unhinged, the first in the Necessary Evils series by Onley James, was something that needed to be in my life. I’ll admit, I was a sucker for the premise, so I borrowed it from my digital library.
Read moreBook Review: Promise Boys by Nick Brooks
I love a good young adult book from time to time, and what drew me first to Nick Brooks’ Promise Boys, was the stark contrasting cover. In a bright red you see three boys, but then the eyes have been torn out and you can see that they are boys of color. That gives this murder mystery another layer of intrigue.

It’s a little hard to believe I’ve reached the end of Abigail Roux’s Cut & Run series with the ninth and final installment, Crash & Burn. I think I lost some appreciation for these along the way, but I was still really looking forward to see how everything panned out in the end.
Read moreBook Review: Disclaimer by Renee Knight
Admittedly, I had never heard of Disclaimer by Renee Knight before seeing an Apple+ series being advertised about it. With an incredible cast led by Alfonso Cuaron, I was intrigued to check out the source material first, even it goes against my basic media consumption policies.

While I don’t really feel like I’m in a reading slump, I did feel uninspired about what to read next. Yes, there are still plenty of unread novels sitting on the shelves at my house, but sometimes the local library is calling. Looking for inspiration, I sought out a must-read list from People. They usually have good recommendations in their magazine, so I was trusting of their online suggestions, as well.
