It’s “What Are Your Reading?” Wednesday! 📚

💫 I recently finished reading Perestroika and thoroughly enjoyed its thought provoking story and relevant themes. I received a copy thanks to the author, João Cerqueira.

💫 Short and sweet review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Perestroika is a historical fiction novel set in the fictional country of Slavia during the fall of communism and rise of a new government. Set in the late 1970s and 1980s, this book is relevant in today’s political climate with Cerqueira’s characters and themes echoing modern day conflicts. Skillfully weaving historical events into a fictional universe, Perestroika gives readers a front row seat to the impacts of class divide on all facets of society - and the lengths those in power will go to in order to keep it.

It’s “What Are Your Reading?” Wednesday! 📚

💫 I recently finished reading The Couple in Cabin 14 and devoured the book! I received an ARC thanks to the author, Nancy Savage

💫 The Couple in Cabin 14 comes out August 27th, along with my full review! 

💫 Short and sweet review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Couple in Cabin 14 is a fast paced and unique psychological thriller. Filled with ominous foreshadowing throughout, the clues are cleverly placed and don’t point you towards an obvious outcome. I couldn’t put this book down because I had to find out what secrets the couple in cabin 14 were hiding!

It’s “What Are Your Reading?” Wednesday! 📚

💫 I’m currently re-reading ‘Throne of Glass’, book 1 in the ‘Throne of Glass’ series by Sarah J. Mass. 

💫 This is a five-star book and five-star series for me! I am enjoying going back and “picking up” clues here and there that I missed the first read through.

💫 I’m currently reading ‘Beach Read, by Emily Henry 

💫 This romantic comedy book follows January, an author in a writing slump - who makes a bet with neighboring author that she can write the next Great American Novel by the end of the summer

💫 This is my second read through of this book and I’m loving it even more the second time around! Emily Henry’s books are perfect for a summer read at the beach. 🌊☀️

It’s “What Are Your Reading?” Wednesday! 📚

💫 I’m currently reading ‘Spark of the Everflame’, book 1 in the ‘Kindred’s Curse’ series by Penn Cole. 

💫 Long ago, the gods colonized the mortal world and now their heartless offspring rule the land. Unrest is growing among the mortals and the main protagonist, Diem, must decide if she is ready to fight against the Crown in hope of a better life. 

💫 Unfortunately, I am finding the first half of the book a bit slow-paced and predicable so far. But I read that the first book is the weakest in this four-book romantasy series.

💫I recently finished reading Goyhood - and absolutely loved it! I received an ARC thanks to the author, Reuven Fenton

💫Goyhood comes out May 28th, along with my full review!

💫Short and sweet review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I adored the dynamic between the two brothers Marty and David, and grew to love both characters for different reasons.

My favorite character was Charlayne, and Popeye (the dog) was the perfect sidekick 🐶 With witty dialogue and interactions, I kept thinking this book would be perfect for TV adaptation!
