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.

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: 4.3/5
Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil Review
VE Schwab’s book is like a haunted house with feelings. You get clever twists, sad ghosts, and just enough hope to keep you from turning on the nightlight—unless you’re like me, who sleeps with one anyway.
Rating: 4/5
1984 Review
Big Brother is always watching, and if you think your boss is bad, wait till you meet O'Brien. Orwell’s world is scary, but I couldn’t stop reading. Warning: may cause paranoia and an urge to unplug your smart speaker.
Rating: 4.3/5
The Way of Kings Review
Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive blew my socks off. The world is wild, the magic kicks, and the characters actually make you feel stuff—sometimes even pain (ouch). The only con? My arms hurt from holding these bricks of books.
Rating: 3.8/5
Sunrise on the Reaping Review
The new Hunger Games book throws fresh faces into a pit of drama and chaos. Some newbies shine, others act like background props. Still, the action keeps your eyes glued, even if you spill popcorn from the suspense.
Rating: 4.3/5
Blind Date with a Werewolf Review
Mercy and Adam’s banter made me laugh out loud, even though my cat looked concerned. Patricia Briggs mixes action, werewolves, and sharp humor—you’ll keep turning pages, but might also yell at a few characters. Worth it.
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: 4.5/5
The Salt Path Review
Raynor Winn made me laugh, cry, and crave salty sea air. Her book is like a soggy sandwich—unexpectedly comforting and full of grit, even if you do find sand in your teeth now and then.
Rating: 4/5
The Inheritance Games Review
The Inheritance Games kept me guessing at every chapter. Twists, puzzles, and a rich family with way too many secrets—what more could you want? I raced through it in two nights and my cat almost chewed the cover.
