Oh, man. I was counting down the days for the eighth volume of Rou Bao Bu Chi Rou’s Case File Compendium series to come out. And I don’t think I was chill about it. Did I go out of my way to stop at thte bookstore several days early in hopes that it might be there? Yes.

Book Review: Last One Out by Jane Harper
It is both admirable and infuriating that Jane Harper releases a novel once every few years. To me, it’s proof that she’s actually writing them and it’s also proof that she’s a damn good writer! So, the good news is, we have a new novel! Last One Out is one of her stand alone novels not featuring the brilliant character, Aaron Falk, but her other stand alone novels have been equally as excellent, so I was prepared for greatness.
Read moreBook Review: Guardian, Volume 3 by Priest
I really couldn’t tell you why, but for some reason I’d been sitting on the third and final volume of Priest’s Guardian series. Maybe I was sad it was going to be over? That’s likely, but in any case, I did finally sit down to read this novel.
Read moreBook Review: My Almost Flawless Tokyo Dream Life by Rachel Cohn
As I was still in the mood for some lighter reads recently, I plucked another young adult novel from my shelf. My most recent bargain purchase, My Almost Flawless Tokyo Dream Life by Rachel Cohn, was the most perfect choice I could have made!
Read moreBook Review: Sidelined by Kara Bietz
Every time I step into Books-A-Million, I always make a bee-line to their bargain section because it’s massive and you can typically find really good books there! I can’t tell you how many bargain purchases are on my shelf right now, but I can tell you that they’ve all been solid selections so far. Sidelined by Kara Bietz is no exception!
Read moreBook Review: Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney
After watching the Netflix miniseries, His & Hers, and being pleasantly surprised by all of the twists at the end, I was curious to check out the works by Alice Feeney, whose novel of the same name was adapted to the series. Sadly, that novel was not immediately available, so I snagged the only one that was, her 2018 debut novel, Sometimes I Lie.

I can’t believe I got my hands on the seventh Case File Compendium novel several days before its official release and didn’t read it all in like three days. I think I was a bit unmotivated to do much, but once I started I was itching to see what would happen next.
Read moreBook Review: Everything I Never Told You by Celest Ng
You know, Celest Ng is an author I’ve always known about but have never actually read any of her work. Which is a shame because she’s practically a local! I was in the market for reading something shorter, and her debut novel, Everything I Never Told You caught my attention.
Read moreBook Review – God of Fury by Rina Kent
In search of something to read that would rival Song of Achilles, I went with the internet’s recommendation of Rina Kent’s novel, God of Fury. Apparently it’s one of many in her “God’s of” series, but this featured a more stand alone couple that would not require any previous interactions with the series.
Read moreBook Review: You’re Going to Die Alone (& Other Excellent News) by Devrie Byrnn Donalson
A few weeks ago my cousin sent me a text telling me she was sending me a book and to not take the title offensively. Seeing that it was called You’re Going to Die Alone (& Other Excellent News) when I unwrapped it certainly made me laugh and I can understand her text more. Well, not offended. If anything, me and Devrie are alike in many, many ways.
