Rating: 10/10 (this should probably be a 9.75 but I’m adding points for nostalgia- it’s my comfort book and my favorite. Favorite Character: Rilla (I never claimed to be particularly original) This is one of my all-time favorite books. I honestly think everyone should read it. It is severely underrated, mostly because not a lotContinue reading “Book Review: Rilla of Ingleside by LM Montgomery”

Book Review: 44 Charles Street by Danielle Steel
Rating: 9/10 So, personally I loved this book. I thought it was a beautiful work of fiction. It was romantic, but not without being realistic and cynical. The story follows Francesca, a gallery owner who after a breakup is forced to search for roommates. Eileen, a young teacher, Chris, a divorced father with an addictContinue reading “Book Review: 44 Charles Street by Danielle Steel”
Quote of the Day
“Should I tell you that when we’re apart, your body comes back to me in dreams? That when I sleep, I see you, the dip of your waist, the freckle above your hip, and when I wake up in the morning, it feels like I’ve just been with you, the phantom touch of your handContinue reading “Quote of the Day”
Book Review: “Rule” and “Rise” by Ellen Goodlett
Rating: 7.5/10 Favorite Characters: Florencia and Akeylah So, I’m going to review these together because, frankly, I have difficulty differentiating between the two I blew through them so fast. I basically binged them. As you can clearly already tell, these books are captivating- and kind of addicting. In these fantasy books, following the death ofContinue reading “Book Review: “Rule” and “Rise” by Ellen Goodlett”

Rating: 9/10 Eight Cousins Rating: 7.5/10 Rose in Bloom Rating: 9.5/10 Favorite Character: Rose Campbell Alcott is one of my favorite authors, and in these two books she’s at her best.

Book Review: The Boleyn King Trilogy by Laura Andersen
Rating: 8/10 Favorite Character: Minuette Wyatt Favorite Book: The Boleyn Reckoning I fell in love with this series. It’s basically an alternate version of history in which Anne Boleyn had a son.

ItContinue reading “Book Review: The Boleyn King Trilogy by Laura Andersen”
Book Review: Ribbons of Scarlett: A Novel of the French Revolution’s Women by Kate Quinn, Stephanie Dray, Laura Kamoie, Sophie Perinot, Heather Webb, and E. Knight
Rating: 10/10 Favorite Character: Sophie de Condorcet So, I’m pretty sure this is the best historical fiction book I’ve ever read. As the title so clearly states, the book is about different women of the French Revolution. Each author writes a chapter from a different historical woman’s perspective, with the exception of one chapter thatContinue reading “Book Review: Ribbons of Scarlett: A Novel of the French Revolution’s Women by Kate Quinn, Stephanie Dray, Laura Kamoie, Sophie Perinot, Heather Webb, and E.

Series Rating: 8/10 Favorite Character: Jude Duarte Favorite Book: Queen of Nothing Song Aesthetic: A Little Wicked by Valerie Broussard, Teeth by Five Seconds of Summer So, when I said this blog would be mostly about fictions, I probably should have also warned that I read a ton of YA. I fell in love withContinue reading “Book Review: The Folk of the Air series by Holly Black”
Book Review: The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
Rating: 7.5/10 Favorite Characters: Patroclus and Briseis Ok, so I sincerely doubt I’ll be the first one to recommend this book, but it’s definitely worth reading. It is honestly an absolutely incredible romance. Even if Achilles is an idiot. It’s told from the perspective of Patroclus and follows him throughout his childhood and into theContinue reading “Book Review: The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller”
