It’s time to review another TBR Jar pick! A Mask Of Flies By Matthew Lyons was my pick for July and let’s just say — based on the publish date of this post — it took a little longer than that to finish. But even if it did, this supernatural Read more
I think I finally understand what people mean when they say a book is a “palette cleanser.” Because that is what we have here. Apparently I missed the online hype and craze regarding Remarkably Bright Creatures, Shelby Van Pelt’s debut novel published in 2022, because I had never heard of Read more
Something has happened to me that hasn’t happened in a long time — I’ve gotten hooked on a series. I remember reading the Hunger Games trilogy back in seventh, eighth grade — I was never a Twilight girlie though — and in college I read nearly all the Game of Read more
Hello everyone! Welcome back to our TBR Jar where we’ll be drawing our next slip of paper for July! I finished June’s pick, 56 Days By Catherine Ryan Howard and already have another pick lined up for my current pattern of switching from thriller to romance, to thriller, and back. Read more
I think it’s only natural for authors to draw influence from the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic (circa 2019-2021) — it’s so surreal to think we’re five years removed from that — and it’s cool to see something like this hit the shelves.

Much like Hello Fresh and other meal kits a year or so ago, I feel like this is the latest app/product/company that is sponsoring everybody and their mother. I see their ads on Instagram, YouTube, everywhere, and Read more
