Review: Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica
This is a translated book, from Spanish, being my 1st language I intend to get a Spanish copy to read as well. Sometimes little nuances get lost in translation & I'd like to see if I get a different feel from the story. It's been about a week since I finished the book, I've been... Continue Reading →
Review: These Violent Delights: a novel by Micah Nemerever
I read this book while in a mild non-reading mood... I'll be revisiting this book again when I'm in a reading mood because I know I'll either love it at that point or hate it, I'm leaning towards the former currently but truly, at the moment I don't know.. I'll update if/when I reread. These... Continue Reading →
Review: My Annihilation by Fuminori Nakamura

Phalaenopsis Aphrodite
Few weeks ago I came across these beautiful orchids at a major home improvement store a little dehydrated & sad so I had to bring them home.

Book Review, Catch Up: Part 6
Silence #1 by Natasha Preston This book is a really quick one, about 200 pages but the subject is heavy. My issues with the book are 1st that the story felt rushed, 2nd the sudden change in pov & 3rd the subject is more so insinuated. Where the editors were, yo no se, but I... Continue Reading →

Book Review, Catch Up: Part 4
The Hypnotist's Love Story by Liane Moriarty I really enjoy this author, I've read a few of her books & each time I'm consumed by the story. I read this book in a day, 1 day!
