Thunderhead by Neal Shusterman
I didn't want to read Scythe by Neal Shusterman last year but I not only read it, I deeply enjoyed it. You can check out all of my thoughts here. I immediately bought the second book. Then, as was my tendency, I stuck on my TBR shelf. But, now that I have made my 2019 New Year's... Continue Reading →
Conan Doyle for the Defense
I will readily admit that while I adore all things Sherlock Holmes, I am more in love with the character and the idea of Sherlock than I am the stories by Arthur Conan Doyle. Still, when I saw Conan Doyle for the Defense being highlighted during this year's NonFiction November I was so excited. A nonfiction story... Continue Reading →

The Night Diary by Veera Hiranandani
I'll admit, I didn't know how Pakistan became a country until I saw the latest season of Dr. Who. When Yasmin went into the past to learn a family secret I was, truthfully, a little stunned that I had lived this long unaware of the partitioning of India. How strange it is then that I...

Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz
In 2013 Anton Yelchin stared as Odd Thomas in the film of the same name. I really enjoyed the movie and, like most great movies, I was unsurprised to find out that it was based on a book. I quickly added it to my Goodreads TBR shelf and forgot about it. But, since I am... Continue Reading →
NonFiction Friday: Atomic Habits by James Clear
When I started graduate school I put on unwanted weight for the first time in my life. I didn't own a scale and I lived in an apartment with no full length mirror. As such, I didn't even realize the weight was there until the fateful day I went swim suit shopping. This is the... Continue Reading →
Serious Series Love: Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan
How much fun can you have seeing how the unimaginably rich live? The answer: A LOT. I read Kevin Kwan's Crazy Rich Asians more than a year ago and adored it. The story of Nick Young bringing his American-born Chinese girlfriend, Rachel, back to Singapore to meet his, ahem, "comfortably," rich family introduced me to... Continue Reading →

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon
I don't remember adding this book to my to be read shelf and, honestly, I couldn't have told you what it was about at all. And so, it languished for years in TBR purgatory. But, since I am still deeply into my New Years resolutions I delved into it when I saw, by chance, that... Continue Reading →
