Review: The Glass Girl by Kathleen Glasgow
Categorized as young adult, this is a tough read. Trigger warnings, depression, suicidal ideology, grief, alcohol abuse, self-harm, implied sexual abuse, violence. While I personally believe this book to be appropriate for teens it is a heavy subject & shouldn't be taken lightly.

Review: The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
I finally got around to reading this book after it was recommended by a fellow bibliophile at my day job.

Review: The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
Yooooooooo! This plot was so sinister & beautifully twisted together. In retrospect, it took me way too long to get around to reading this book.

Review: The Watchers / Stay in the Light by A.M. Shine
The film adaptation of this book was 100% what spurred me to finally get around to reading it now. At this point, having been on my TBR a little over 2 years I wasn't exactly "on the look out" for it. If there is a book, I want to read it before watching any movie... Continue Reading →
