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.
Historical Fiction
Books set in a specific historical period, blending fictional characters with historical events.
Rating: 4.3/5
Middlemarch Review
Middlemarch throws you into a web of ambition, love, and bad decisions. If you’ve ever married in haste or judged your neighbor’s hat, this book gets you.
Rating: 4.5/5
The Elements Review
Boyne had me hooked from page one—his characters feel so real, I almost invited them over for pizza. Sure, some scenes drag, but the emotions hit hard. Tissues required. Would read again, even if just for the jokes.
Rating: 4/5
Demon Copperhead Review
Kingsolver nails Appalachian life with both humor and hard truths. Her characters feel like folks I grew up with. It's not all sunshine, but that’s what makes it real—and I couldn’t put it down, even during lunch.
Rating: 4/5
The Lost Bookshop Review
This book wraps you up like a fuzzy blanket. I laughed at the awkward flirting, even if some parts felt cheesy. Still, it made my grumpy mood vanish faster than free donuts in the office kitchen.
Rating: 4/5
My Sister’s Keeper Review
My Sister’s Keeper messed with my feelings like a cat on a keyboard. Family fights, tough choices, and a box of tissues—this book has it all. Just don’t read it near anyone or you’ll ugly cry in public.
Rating: 4/5
Life After Life Review
Ursula lives, dies, and starts again more than my old Windows computer. Atkinson keeps things wild—war, family, tea, and second chances. Sometimes I got lost, but I enjoyed the ride more than a rollercoaster with no seatbelt.
Rating: 4/5
The Frozen River Review
If you like books where people make weird choices and the setting smells like old socks and adventure, good novel delivers. Just don’t expect the plot twists to always make sense—sometimes even my dog guessed what’d happen next.
Rating: 4.5/5
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo Review
Evelyn Hugo’s seven husbands made my life look boring, but her real love story knocked me sideways. Glitz, drama, and secrets—this book had me up past bedtime with crumbs in my bed and tears in my eyes.
Rating: 4.3/5
Circe Review
Madeline Miller makes Greek myths fun and fresh. Her characters mess up, laugh, and learn—just like my friends. If you like gods with attitude and magic that goes wrong, you’ll have a great time here.
