The Midnight Library by Matt Haig – Book Review

I got this from the library since I was hesitant to purchase it. Mostly because it’s super popular on Bookstagram, and most popular books have been a miss for me. That said, I went into

1Q84 by Haruki Murakami – Book Review

As someone who has lived in North America her entire life, the cultural divide from western norms to this piece of Japanese literature were quite bizarre. The fantasy elements of the story were quite peculiar

Exit Strategy (The Murderbot Diaries #4) by Martha Wells – Book Review

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab – Book Review

Solid 4 stars, I loved it! Just to preface this review, I don’t normally read romance or historical fiction. I’ve had rather annoying experiences with enemies-to-lovers, and most of the hyped books on Bookstagram have

This Moment Is Your Life (and So Is This One): A Fun and Easy Guide to Mindfulness, Meditation, and Yoga by Mariam Gates – Book Review

While this is written for a younger audience, I found a lot of value in this one. If you’re completely new to meditation and mindfulness, this is an excellent guide for a newbie. I’ve read

Things We Lost in the Fire by Mariana Enríquez – Book Review

Usually, when you read a collection of short stories, there might be a couple or a few that grip you. Things We Lost in the Fire has ten short stories, and every single one…

The Color Out of Space by H. P. Lovecraft Short Story Review.

September 13, 2021
