"The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it."
by Siân Evans Alright Sian Evans, I'll give you 4 out of 5 birds for Maiden Voyages. The title alone sucked me in. I love reading history of women that is often not talked about. I was given this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review. I thought the stories of these... Continue Reading →
Catherine Clinton deserves 5 out of 5 birds for her biography Harriet Tubman: The Road to Freedom. At the beginning of the year I watched the movie about Harriet and fell in love with her. I wanted to know more about her and so I picked this book. I enjoyed it and thought it was... Continue Reading →
Dear Truman Capote you deserve 4 out of 5 birds for In Cold Blood. This book covered such a bizarre crime. A crime that really had no motive, just pure idiocy... In my opinion. I thought some of the facts were dragged out and that in the end something was still missing. How do you... Continue Reading →
I'll give L.M. Montgomery 4 out of 5 birds for Anne's House of Dreams. Anne is one of my all time favorite characters, but I didn't feel like she was all there in this book. I had glimpses of her, but I didn't get the same feelings as some of the first few books. I... Continue Reading →
I'll give Laurel Snyder three out of five birds for her novel Orphan Island. I only made it through half of the excerpt on the back of the book before I was like I NEED TO READ THIS BOOK. It's such a refreshing and fun idea. Im so sad to say, that it might be... Continue Reading →
I'll give Mary Roach 4 out of 5 birds for her Nonfiction Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers. It's been months since I actually finished this one and so my review might not be as on point. It is a very in depth look into how cadavers are used. Will I be donating my... Continue Reading →
I'll give Shannon Hale 4 out of 5 birds for The Princess in Black #1. Since the libraries are currently closed and we're dying for new reading material I purchased the first three of this series. My girls are enjoying them but not as much as I expected. I think they like Mercy Watson better.... Continue Reading →
I give Eowyn Ivey five out of five birds for her novel The Snow Child! This wasn't a book I would probably have picked up unless my brother in law had recommended it and I'm glad he did. It was beautiful! I loved it from beginning to end. The characters were lovable and my heart... Continue Reading →
I give Dana Mele's book People Like Us 3 out of 5 birds. The beginning of this book drew me in but then I lost my gumption for it in the middle. I finished it and the ending was not completely what I expected, so I felt redeemed. It was very mean girl vs... Continue Reading →
I give Celeste Ng 4 out of 5 birds for Everything I Never Told You. This was a very unique read. It was terribly sad and depressing but beautifully written. I wanted to finish, but it was by no means a happy book. So perhaps wait until after Covid-19. The pain and sorrow in this... Continue Reading →
