On a whim a couple of weeks ago, I rented a 2005 comedy-drama, Breakfast with Scot, and was immediately taken with it. The film was warm, charming, comical, and oddly topical for 2005. After watching the film, naturally I looked it up online and found that it was based off a book by the same name written by Michael Downing. After that, it took me all of ten seconds before I had a request out for it at my local library.

Book Review: The Hating Game by Sally Thorne
Since watching the film adaptation a few weeks ago of Sally Thorne’s novel of the same name, The Hating Game, I’ve been stalking my local library for the book. Now that I’ve had the chance to read it, let’s compare.
Read moreBook Review: The Sanitorium by Sarah Pearse
Well, I’ve accidentally stumbled upon the first book in a new detective series. When I look up Sarah Pearse’s debut novel, The Sanitorium, it is listed as the first of the Elin Warner series. I can’t say at this point that I’ll read any more in this series, but overall this was an enjoyable read.

I know this book got added to my must read list once I finished with Normal People, but now that a television adaptation for Sally Rooney’s novel Conversations with Friends is coming to Hulu at the end of the month, I finally sat down and read the novel!

My sister is slacking! Given that all of Karen McManus’ other novels are at the top of her best list, I’m surprised that this 2021 thriller, You’ll Be the Death of Me, slipped through her radar. No fear, we have it now some six months later, and it was all worth it.

Given that I’ve really enjoyed all of the other books I’ve read by Rainbow Rowell, I’m surprised it took me this long to read Landline! I would consider this an adult novel compared to her Simon Snow trilogy and Fangirl, but it was just as great and easy of a read!
Read moreBook Review: Mrs. Fletcher by Tom Perrotta
Back during the start of the pandemic, I watched the miniseries Mrs. Fletcher on HBO. I had no clue it was based on a novel of the same name, so when I saw it discounted at my local bookstore, I snatched it up right away. In thinking back, I really enjoyed that miniseries when at first I was a little nervous to start it.
Read moreBook Review: Such a Quiet Place by Megan Miranda
Ever since I passed along my copy of Megan Miranda’s The Last House Guest, my sister has been flying through most of her bibliography. Such a Quiet Place is only my second read from her, but I know now that I’ll be reading everything else she has to offer eventually. It’s good stuff!

For some silly reason, I put a little distance between the last Grady Hendrix novel I read. But I’ve made up for it by reading My Best Friend’s Exorcism!
