The Five was everything I thought it would be and more. If you’re a fan of true crime, historical non-fiction, and stories told through the lens of women this book is for you. It was hard to put down, descriptive, highly researched, and had an emotional pull to it that had you wishing you didn’t know the tragic end to Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine, and Mary-Jane’s life.

Shadow and Bone Netflix Review
I read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo a week ago and I still can’t stop thinking about it. I can’t get Evelyn, and Celia, and Harry and the beautiful world that Reid created out of my brain. My heart is also still recovering from the heartbreaking beauty that was this book. I bawled my eyes out at the end of this book, in public, around people…I’m fine.

Book Review: The City We Became by N.K. Jemisin
The City We Became has to be one of the most unique concepts I have read in years. It had insane worldbuilding, developed characters, diversity and representation everywhere you looked, and a writing style that was impossible not to lose oneself in.

Book Review: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
If you like books that deal with choices, regret, and the afterlife, this is a good book for you. I love reading different and unique takes on what happens when we die, or almost die like Nora Seed. Take a look at my review for this Goodreads Choice 2020 Winner for Fiction.

Book Review – The Damned Society: Smoke and Mirrors by L.J. Elliott
This book spoke to my inner 16 year old who was obsessed with anything to do with teenagers with supernatural powers. It was an intriguing read with a unique twist on gifted teenagers and a fast-paced plot. Check out my blog for the full review!
