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.
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.

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.
Who can avoid a book that seamlessly incorporates history? Not us! Folks, I actually learn things when I read Kristin Hannah books. I hope she writes more!
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.
Even though we don’t like to read horror, we certainly love to enjoy a good spoopy movie. So, for the love of all things books, we thought we would put together a short list of some movies you may know and some movies that you may not have heard of/watched yet. They are all based on books and guaranteed to have you hiding behind your fingers, pillow, or closest friend.
