Where to even start with this amazing read? Allison Saft is a talented YA author from Philadelphia, PA; Down Comes the Night is her debut fantasy novel taking place in a snow-drenched kingdom where wicked plots threaten the life of Wren Southerland and the prospect of love could prove more dangerous than she imagined.

Review: Salem’s Lot by Stephen King

Believe it or not, this is the first work by King that I’ve ever read. Of course, I’ve watched Carrie, It, and Pet Sematary. I think I’d be even more in the doghouse had I experienced none of his creations. Safe to say, I absolutely enjoyed this work beautiful work of horror.

Throwback Thursday:Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetsy

No, we’re not talking about Fifty Shades of Grey. That’s a different post, for a different time. Today, we’re diving into a beautifully written Historical Fiction novel that tells the story of a fifteen-year-old Lithuanian girl sent to a Siberian work camp during World War 2.

Throwback Thursday: Pushing the Limits Series by Katie McGarry

We’re back with another Throwback Thursday, but this time we’re focusing on the entire series by the author rather than just one book; this is because McGarry’s series is so diverse in each novel, that it would be a shame not to highlight them together. So buckle up and get ready for a ride.

Throwback Thursday: Confessions of A Murder Suspect by James Patterson & Maxine Paetro

Hello, hello, hello, and welcome back for another Throwback Thursday. These are becoming routine now; I hope you all enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy diving back into their worlds and story line. I’m particularly excited for this one as I’ve yet to have an unpleasant experience with James Patterson’s novels; however, Patterson isn’t the only one who brought us the thrilling and gear-turning world of Tandy Angel, we also have Maxine Paetro to thank too.

Audiobooks vs Physical & Digital Copies

I’ve always been a person who never saw themselves getting behind the whole audiobook movement; rather, I never had the patience to sit and listen to an audiobook without my mind wandering elsewhere. I’d tried it once before, in middle school where you could borrow the audio versions of certain books and listen to them, but I always had to rewind and rewind and rewind until I just got sick of it. I returned the audio version and vowed that they just weren’t for me. Then, I found myself with an hour-long ride to university while studying in Japan, and listening to music and podcasts got boring day after day. I broke down and signed up for a free Audible trial and downloaded Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco.

Review: “The Wysman” by Dorothy A. Winsor

I received an ARC copy of Winsor’s newest novel The Wysman set to release this month on June 27, 2020. While the book was interesting and pleasant to read, I wouldn’t say it made my top ten or even my top twenty reads of 2020. There were many aspects of the book that the author could improve, all of which you can find below.

Throwback Thursday: The Storyteller by Antonia Michaelis

I remember the first time I saw this book. It was in my school library, and it was the title and the cover that drew me in. What help me captive was the style of writing and tone of voice Michaelis uses throughout the novel.
