Greatest Hits (Herald Classics) Cover
Rating: 4/5

Greatest Hits Review

Ellison's stories hit like a slap—fast, sharp, and a little strange. One minute, you're laughing. Next, you're scratching your head. He kept me guessing, and sometimes, a bit confused, but I was never bored!

Rating: 3/5

The Happy Ever After Playlist Review

After Ever Happy throws Tessa and Hardin into wild drama, heartbreak, and a few laughs. The romance has sparks, but the melodrama gets a little much. Still, I couldn't stop reading—like eating chips you just can't put down.

Mortal Engines 8 Book Collection Cover
Rating: 4.1/5

Mortal Engines Review

Mortal Engines throws you onto wild, moving cities with characters who bicker, blunder, and grow. The steampunk world is bonkers, sometimes silly, and always a blast—just don’t expect anyone to follow traffic laws.

Furious Hours: Murder, Fraud, and the Last Trial of Harper Lee Cover
Rating: 4.3/5

The Land of Sweet Forever Review

Harper Lee writes like she’s sitting next to you on the porch, telling stories that sting and make you snort-laugh. Her words are simple but stick with you longer than chewed gum on a shoe.

Rogue Heroes: The History of the SAS, Britain's Secret Special Forces Unit That Sabotaged the Nazis and Changed the Nature of War Cover
Rating: 4.5/5

Rogue Heroes Review

Rogue Heroes tells the wild story of the SAS with humor and grit. Stirling’s gang of misfits blow stuff up, bicker, and rewrite the rules of war. I laughed, I winced, and I may have ducked under my sofa.

The Power of the Dog Cover
Rating: 4/5

The Power of the Dog Review

Montana in The Power of the Dog smells like dirt and trouble. Savage nails the cold, lonely vibe and the family drama made me text my brother, just to check he wasn’t plotting against me.

Beloved cover
Rating: 4.3/5

Beloved Review

Reading Morrison is like eating cake with hot sauce—rich, spicy, and a little confusing at first. Her characters feel real, their pain jumps off the page, and the ghosts? They’re the cherry on top. Sometimes weird, always worth it.
