Alice's Adventures in Wonderland cover
Rating: 4.5/5

Alice in Wonderland Review

Alice in Wonderland is pure chaos in the best way. Talking animals, shrinking potions, and a girl with more questions than my grandma at Thanksgiving—this book is a wild ride I won't forget anytime soon.

A Court of Thorns and Roses cover
Rating: 3.5/5

A Court of Thorns and Roses Review

Feyre’s stuck between scary fae, hot romance, and crazy plot twists. ACOTAR is wild, messy, and way too addictive—even if I yelled at the book more than once.

Regretting You: A Story of Grief, Love, and Second Chances: Full Movie Review and Emotional Journey Through Colleen Hoover’s 2025 Film Adaptation Cover
Rating: 3.5/5

Regretting You Review

If awkward hugs, teenage sass, and secrets in small towns are your jam, 'Regretting You' delivers. I laughed, groaned, and maybe even teared up (just once, okay?). Worth a read if you like family messes that feel real.

The Goldfinch cover
Rating: 4.3/5

The Goldfinch Review

Theo's life gets flipped upside down by a painting and a whole lot of bad luck. It's messy, sad, and at times hilarious. You’ll want to hug Hobie and maybe avoid Boris at parties.

Pure Human: The Hidden Truth of Our Divinity, Power, and Destiny Cover
Rating: 3.5/5

Pure Human Review

Gregg Braden's book made me question if my toaster is conscious. Packed with wild science and big ideas, it’s fun, uplifting, a bit far-fetched, but never boring. Approach with curiosity, and maybe a grain of salt.

The Maze Runner Series Complete Collection Boxed Set (5-Book) Cover
Rating: 3.8/5

The Maze Runner Series Review

Maze Runner had me sweating bullets and wondering if I’d survive five minutes with those Grievers. Thomas and the gang never get a break. It’s wild, a bit messy, but oh boy, I couldn’t put it down.

Alphabet in Motion: How Letters Get Their Shape Cover
Rating: 3.8/5

Alphabet in Motion Review

Alphabet Book made me laugh and remember my ABCs! The pictures are bright and fun, but a few letters look odd. Still, my nephew loved it, and I did too (even my cat stared at the O).

Past Lying: A Karen Pirie Novel (Karen Pirie Novels Book 7) Cover
Rating: 4/5

Past Lying Review

Karen Pirie feels like your stubborn friend who solves puzzles with snacks. The plot twists more than my ankle on wet Scottish cobblestones. Sometimes I lost track of characters, but the ride was worth it. Scotland, snacks, and surprises!

The Last Devil to Die: A Thursday Murder Club Mystery Cover
Rating: 4/5

The Last Devil to Die Review

Four retirees, tea on the side, and a knack for nosing into murders—The Thursday Murder Club is witty, warm, and surprisingly clever, even if the suspects list is as long as my grandma’s bingo card.
