Several months back, I saw that an actor I really admire (yes, from Kick-Ass), was going to lead an adaptation of the memoir, A Million Little Pieces. When I think back to the time that the book came out, I remember I thought the cover was really cool, but memoirs aren’t really something I search out to read. I also remember a bunch of controversy surrounding the book, but I couldn’t remember why. Turns out, not all of the memoir was true.

Review: Rainbow Rowell YA Novels
It’s been a decent start to my reading year, but the spotlight I want to shine is on Rainbow Rowell’s young adult novels, Carry On and Wayward Son. Does this author have an affinity for that one Kansas song? I would assume so. Either way, these novels follow a world of mages from London as they try to battle the unknown and just generally survive.
Read moreBook & Movie Review: Dream Boy
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!
Read moreBook & 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 🙂
Read moreBook Review: This Will Only Hurt a Little, Killing Eve: No Tomorrow
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!
