Why Did I Read? So I actually didn’t know the premise of this one before going into it! I knew it was a popular Broadway musical and this was the novelization and knew it had gained a lot of love this year. But the synopsis? I knew nothing but as a lover of Broadway and knowing there was a big following, I was eager to see what the fuss was about. My Thoughts: This is one of those books that […]

Review: Letters to the Lost by Brigid Kemmerer

My Thoughts: I don’t generally gravitate toward the heavier contemporaries. I don’t really know why, I guess because when I read a contemporary I’m looking for something lighter? Anyway, I don’t read heavier ones often, I tend to be pretty picky when it comes to the more serious ones. That being said, I’m really glad I read Letters to the Lost! Juliet’s mother died and she is coping by writing her letters at her grave but who knew someone would find […]

Firstly, I’ve heard a lot about this one, all great things and also warnings about reading with tissues. Everything I heard was true. I already knew this was going to be a tough, emotional read just given the content. […]

Sometimes I don’t get a chance to review all the books I read, so I thought doing something like review bites could highlight the books I’ve read but haven’t reviewed. Sort of like brownie bites, review bites are a bite sized review! 🙂 Maybe Someday was my first Colleen Hoover book! (I know, I know — I’m working on it!) I picked it up at the store, on a whim, and read it in one sitting! Maybe Someday is especially […]

The Fault in Our Stars is something I’ve put off reading for forever. The subject matter scared me! Kids and cancer. That is a recipe for heart aching disaster for me and for my heart’s sake, I put it off. However, with the movie coming out and all, I wanted to read it before watching it. I mentally braced myself. I started reading, preparing to have my heart ripped out. Now, I don’t know if it was the hype or […]
