I’m reaching way back in time for this one, but it was a nice find on my part. I came across Dream Boy earlier this week, and decided to give the shorter novel a read before delving into the film. Here it goes!

Book & Movie Review: Ashes in the Snow
I do believe this is the fastest I’ve ever read a novel, so I’m as shocked as you are with how quickly this review is coming out! Especially considering I just published that book review last week! I admit it! I’m sort of a slow reader. Sort of a half hour at a time deal. I’ve just got other stuff I’d rather be doing/watching 🙂

I’ve stopped being lazy and finally read something! November was a rough month considering I rented a book from the library and let it sit in my house for three weeks untouched. So I returned that and started over! Here we go.
Read moreBook Review: Find Me by André Aciman
While it’s been a relatively short time since I’ve read André Aciman’s novel Call Me By Your Name, I couldn’t get my hands on its sequel, Find Me, fast enough! Written in as beautiful a prose as the initial outing from twelve years ago, this read was smooth as butter.
Read moreBook Review: The Alienist
This is the slowest I’ve read something in quite a long time, but based on how quickly I was going through novels the last few months, this was a nice reprieve. After watching TNT’s The Alienist in 2018, I learned for the first time a few months ago that it was based on the book of the same name! So I headed to my local library and picked that puppy up!
Read moreDouble Whammy Book Review!
A few weeks back, I finished one of the best books I’ve ever read: The Song of Achilles written by Madeline Miller. This book tells the tale of Achilles but is told through the eyes of Patroclus and with a slightly more romantic edge than what was detailed in Homer’s Iliad.

September is turning out to be a lot busier than I anticipated! All I’ve really managed to do is read, which is good, because fall TV is gearing up next week! With that, I got my hands on the latest Girl With the Dragon Tattoo novel by David Lagercrantz, who took over for Stieg Larsson, The Girl Who Lived Twice.
Read moreBook Review: The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware
I’m sure I said this a few posts back, but I feel like I’ve been reading like a fiend these past couple months, and it continues with The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware! I was a huge fan of her first novel, In a Dark, Dark Wood, so I’m always excited to see what she’s got next. Earlier this year I read her latest installment, The Death of Mrs. Westaway, and that sucker stuck with me. Needless to say, I was very surprised when a new novel dropped just a few months after finishing that up – but it was a happy surprise!
Read moreLock Every Door by Riley Sager – Book Review
I feel like I’ve been ripping through books recently, and I’m not mad about it! Especially when my friend let me borrow newly released Lock Every Door by Riley Sager. After his prior two novels, Final Girls and The Last Time I Lied, I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of this book! And let me tell you, it was worth the wait. Compared to his other two outings, this one sounded the least like the other two. Yes, it was told from a female’s perspective, but the tone and cadence reminded me more of Ruth Ware’s The Death of Mrs. Westaway.
Read moreBook Review: Call It What You Want by Brigid Kemmerer
I feel like I’ve been living in the young adult novel world for most of the summer, but truthfully I don’t mind it. They’re easy and most that I’ve picked are quite good, and that includes the latest, Call It What You Want written by Brigid Kemmerer.
