Winter Winds of Wyoming (A Prairie Hearts Novel Book 7) Cover
Rating: 4.3/5

Winds of Winter Review

Winds of Winter sweeps you into chaos—there are dragons, backstabbing, and more plot twists than my last family game night. Not perfect, but if you love heartbreak and surprises, this book dishes them out with Martin’s usual flair.

The Spiderwick Chronicles: The Complete Series Cover
Rating: 4.5/5

The Spiderwick Chronicles Review

If your family is normal (read: a little weird), you'll love The Spiderwick Chronicles. Magic, bickering siblings, and angry goblins—what more can you ask for? It’s fun, fast, and just a little bit dangerous. Highly recommended!

Percy Jackson and the Olympians 5 Book Paperback Boxed Set (w/poster) Cover
Rating: 4.5/5

The Lightning Thief Review

Percy Jackson turns Greek myths into a wild ride with lots of laughs, monsters, and weird weather. Percy's trouble with gods feels real, and his jokes made me snort milk. It's a fun, fast book—even if you're not a demigod.

The Inferno (Signet Classics) Cover
Rating: 3.8/5

Inferno Review

Inferno is like a puzzle you can't put down, but some pieces feel forced. Fast pacing, wild twists, and famous art make it fun, even if the characters sometimes feel as flat as old pizza.

The Hate U Give: A Printz Honor Winner Cover
Rating: 4.3/5

The Hate U Give Review

Starr’s life swings between two worlds faster than me running for the last slice of pizza. The book hits hard but stays real, never preachy. Only downside? Some parts felt a bit long, but it’s worth the trip.

Apples Never Fall Cover
Rating: 4/5

Apples Never Fall Review

If you ever thought your family was weird, wait until you meet the Delaneys. Secrets, tennis rackets, and a missing person make 'Apples Never Fall' one wild, twisty ride. I couldn't put it down—even during lunch.

Catch-22 cover
Rating: 4.3/5

Catch-22 Review

Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 is like watching a circus on a battlefield—funny, wild, and somehow a bit sad. You’ll laugh, groan, and maybe question your own sanity. Get ready for a mind-bending ride!

The Sympathizer: A Novel (Pulitzer Prize for Fiction) (The Sympathizer, 1) Cover
Rating: 4/5

The Sympathizer Review

The Sympathizer made my brain do gymnastics. The plot twists made me spill my coffee twice. If you like spy stories with wit, guilt, and a bit of chaos, this book will stick with you long after the last page.
