Why Did I Read? Well I’ve always been a fan of Westerns! I own almost all the seasons of Rawhide on DVD because I’m obsessed with young Clint Eastwood and his character Rowdy’s adventures on a cattle drive! So I was definitely eager to read this one! My Thoughts: This was one fast paced, intense ride! I enjoyed it so much!! The story starts out with Kate Thompson finding her father murdered. She immediately chases after them, determined to avenge […]

Review: Walk On Earth A Stranger by Rae Carson

Why Did I Read? I was SO excited to hear that Rae Carson was coming out with a new fantasy series! I adored her Girl of Fire and Thorns series, so I could not have been more elated! My Thoughts: First off, this book was not what I expected at all. I think I was expecting a fantasy akin to Rae’s previous series but Walk On Earth A Stranger felt primarily historical fiction with just a touch of fantasy. For me, this didn’t pose a problem […]

My Thoughts: I DNF-ed at 36%. I was really looking forward to this. It’s supposed to be a historical fiction story of Alexander the Great mixed with fantasy elements. It sounds amazing!

It’s written in 3rd person present tense and I struggled with this. It kept jolting […]

Why Did I Read? There is a ton of hype surrounding this book but of course, I was intrigued and plus, I am a huge sci-fi fan! My Thoughts: It’s going to be really tough for me to review this book.

I honestly didn’t know […]

The Sound: The narration was decent and enjoyable. I thought the narrator did a good job with infusing the emotion of the main character in her voice. The Story: So, I love myself a good revenge story. Mix in a covered up attack and murder of an entire cruise ship full of people? I am so in. I was really eager to see what exactly was going on with the attack and how Frances was going to go about her […]
