The Woman in Cabin 10
I'll give The Woman in Cabin 10 4 out of 5 birds. I think while reading it I was thinking a solid 3 birds but I'm remembering it fondly now... It was a classic page turner full of twists and turns. I had to fight some of it because it seemed SO FAR FETCHED. But... Continue Reading →

Before We Were Yours
Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate I give this book 4 out of 5 birds. I was definitely emotionally invested in this novel and needed to finish it to put the pieces together. It had so much heart and soul and I’m sick to my stomach that this is based on a true events.... Continue Reading →
