April 18, 2020 – April 24, 2020 I love fairytales, especially ones that are then turned into new takes. Like this book! And when it is done right – like this book – then it is extra fun because you not only get a good story but you also get what feels like insider information …

Almost Midnight by Rainbow Rowell
April 18, 2020 This is so what I needed. I loved it. Happy endings, easy to love characters that have just the right amount of character info/development for a short story with a quirky twist at the end. I don’t care if this sounds more like a normal “book review” – this story was so …
And Another Thing… by Douglas Adam, #6 Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
March 29, 2020 – April 18, 2020 Oh. My. Gosh. It’s finally over. Not the series, this book- and I can’t figure out if it is from the nature of the book or my reading slump – probably both. Just to be dialectic and all that. This one had a lot of the same happy …

The Rent Collector by Camron Wright
March 16, 2020 – April 9, 2020 This is a long one. Yesterday, while I was finishing this book, I was laying in bed with my five-year-old daughter trying to help her to fall asleep for her quickly disappearing nap. She was “reading” this book as well, pointing out the words “and” and “I”, when …
Mostly Harmless by Douglas Adams, #5 Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
March 3, 2020 – March 29, 2020 My husband is on goodreads and he brought up tonight my extreme lack of reading. This book took me almost a month to read – and the reason is that I just haven’t been reading. You see, at the beginning of this month, I received some devastating news. …

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
February 22, 2020 – February 24, 2020 Ok, this book was fun for multiple reasons. First of all there is the obvious gushing about writing and what it does to your soul (not gives to your soul, DOES to your soul). I also got a new insight to fan fiction that it really is really …
Attachments by Rainbow Rowell
February 20, 2020 – February 23, 2020 I’ve needed books lately that were light and with a happy ending. I’m not sure why – I devoured Calculating Stars like I was dying and needed to see the sky one last time – but when I started the next one and it got intense with her …
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish by Douglas Adams, #4 Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
February 4, 2020 – February 20, 2020 A billion years I tried to get through this book when I was going on a hitchhiker rampage, and honestly lost stream about the time they were having weird sex in the sky and Ford was sort of doing stuff that didn’t really make sense. Not in the …
Senlin Ascends by Josiah Bancroft, #1 The Books of Babel)
January 15, 2020 – February 8, 2020 I waited too long to write this and now you’re going to get my thoughts as I gaze back across the sands of time to a younger, more innocent me. Jk, my memory when it comes to books is a thousand times better than my own life, and …

The Fated Sky by Mary Robinette Kowal, #2 Lady Astronaut
February 4, 2020 – March 3, 2020 So many thoughts, so many feelings. I had to stop for about two weeks after starting this book – my problem again with getting through the painful parts that are always in the beginning. This time was particularly hard. During book club when we talked about Stars, someone …
