A Curse so Dark and Lonely
Brigid Kemmerer “He’s here. He’s not hurting anyone. But he’s still a monster. The curse isn’t broken.” I wasn’t enchanted by the first few chapters. I liked what was going on but was struggling to be fully engaged. I can’t pin down why I didn’t fall in love. I wanted to love this book but […]
MoreThe Sisters of the Winter Wood
by Rena Rossner “If people hate each other, they will blame each other, and eventually they will kill each other. And what better group of people to start with than the Jews?” A fairytale-inspired multipoint of view page-turner. From the first four chapters, I knew if I didn’t put The Sisters of the Winter Wood […]

The official reading this for this year. After gathering all the titles, I think it is a manageable list. It took some time to clear out my Kindle Library of samples, PDF files, and all the other various digital media I had gathered from years of using the app. Like the crazy reader I am, […]

MoreTo Kill A Mockingbird
Harper Lee “Atticus, he was real nice.” “Most people are, Scout, when you finally see them.” To Kill a Mockingbird is an American classic. This book has been haunting me since the ninth grade. I never finished reading the book because I didn’t like it, so I packed it around for a decade, along with […]
MoreHis Dark Materials: An Overview
His Dark Materials is a fantasy series by Philip Pullman. I devoured these books in a week. I have had my paperback box set for a few years now. I bought it in a second-hand shop for $3, a real steal. Those books sat on my shelf for yyeeaarrss. 5+ years before I felt the […]
MoreHispanic Heritage Month: The Afterlife
If you have not read a book by Gary Soto please do so! The Afterlife was introduced to me a few years ago by a coworker. She had nothing but good things to say about most of Soto’s work, so I picked up a copy. The Afterlife is a quick read that will keep […]
MoreHispanic Heritage Month: Bless Me Ultima
Bless Me, Ultima is an excellent read. Bless Me, Ultima is not my personal favorite by Rudolfo Anaya, but definitely one of his most famous works. If you are interested in Anaya’s work, consider reading a shorter piece called “A Celebration of Grandfathers.”
