The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins

the girl on the train by paula hawkins available on Amazon (kindle, paperback, and hardcover)

Why is everyone drunk or drinking all the time? I can’t tell if this part was intentional to draw out the recovering alcoholic character perspective, that she the character is noticing it so it is being made extremely obvious to you as the reader, over explained in some parts of the story even. I kept […]

The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King

eyes of the dragon illustrations

It’s hard to choose a favorite book. I love to read and I love stories. But if I were forced to choose just one book to have and to hold forever and ever, I would choose this one. In case you didn’t know; This is NOT a Horror Novel When most people see Stephen King […]

The Light of the Fireflies by Paul Pen

The Light of the Fireflies book by Paul Pen

I want to start by mentioning that The Light of the Fireflies as I’m reading it is a translation from another language. I do think the translation was done very well, the sentence structure and word order all makes sense and flows well for the most part. I’ve read some translations in the past that […]

The Paper Magician

the paper magician

This is the first short story in a series of shorts. Despite being short, it actually took me a lot longer than usual to read. The pacing of the story was all over the place and I was having a hard time staying focused on it. It’s not that I didn’t like the story, it […]

Alone (A Bone Secrets Novel) by Kendra Elliot

Alone (A Bone Secrets Novel)

Last night I finished reading Alone (A Bone Secrets Novel) by Kendra Elliot. This was a pretty smooth read and I enjoyed the story. It’s a combination of mystery, thriller, sort of drizzled with romance. There is one sex scene in the book, but it’s pretty mild. In other words, the book is 98% story, […]

Timebound (The Chronos Files Book 1) by Rysa Walker

Timebound by Rysa Walker

(Available as part of Kindle Unlimited if you’re a subscriber, but also available in the usual other formats as well) I love time travel stories and this one was fun with the layers and ripples. I’m looking forward to reading the next one in the series when it comes out in October. Things get a […]

The Giver Quartet by Lois Lowry (The Giver, Gathering Blue, Messenger, Son)

When I first picked up The Giver to read I didn’t realize there was an entire series of four books. The way The Giver is talked about I always assumed it was a standalone story. If you haven’t read this book or series yet, I want to warn you in advance that it’s not really […]

Too Deep to Fall Free on Kindle for Five Days

Too Deep to Fall on Kindle

Today’s post is a bit off topic, as it’s not about stitching but about reading. This is my husband’s poetry book and it’s free on Kindle for the next few days. (We actually just celebrated 19 years since our first date yesterday – gees I feel old.) The Kindle version is free from July 20 […]

Nearly Departed in Deadwood by Ann Charles [Book Review]

I needed something lighthearted and entertaining, but I wanted a little mystery too. I had read some reviews and seen a few people mention Nearly Departed in Deadwood on Facebook, plus the Kindle version of this book was reasonably priced, so I gave it a shot. Personally I could have done without some of the […]
