5/5 Stars "It's always been fascinating to me how things can be simultaneously true and false, how people can be good and bad all in one, how someone can love you in a way that is beautifully selfless while serving themselves ruthlessly." . This book took me by surprise. I went in blind without reading... Continue Reading →
5/5 Stars We're gonna start with a quote and end with a quote: . "This was the trouble with emigration - it dismantled the patriarchy. Because really, what did Assunta, or any woman, need a husband for, when she did every goddamn thing herself?" The Seven or Eight Deaths of Stella Fortuna is a fictionalized... Continue Reading →
4/5 Stars! “One of the first things you ask and learn about someone is where they stay. Where we come from leaves its fingerprints all over us, and if you know how to read the signs of a place, you know a little bit more about who someone is." . This book was just pure... Continue Reading →
Don't go thinking poetry's just for sissies. There's mushy love poems, for sure, but there's also funny ones, lots about nature, war even. Whole point of it - they make ya feel something. This was an absolutely beautiful novel that lived up to all the hype and is well deserving of its Best Seller status.... Continue Reading →
The Silent Patient was creepy, it is as simple as that. I am happy I finished the book in the morning, because had I finished it at night, I'd no doubt have trouble sleeping.

This is my first Colleen Hoover novel, and certainly NOT my last. (Which is sort of funny because I... Continue Reading →

We can't choose what we want and don't want and that's the hard lonely truth. Sometimes we want what we want even if we know it's going to kill us. We can't escape who we are. While I try very hard to not look at reviews whilst reading a book, this was one long book... Continue Reading →
"Do not reveal your skill with a blade. Do not reveal your mastery over glamour. Do not reveal all that you can do. Little did Prince Dain know that my real skill lies in pissing people off. " The Cruel Prince was a solid read and I very much enjoyed the story; I'm eager for... Continue Reading →
"What I am telling you, before you begin my story, is this - two things: I crave truth. And I lie." I am a sucker for mysteries and thrillers. Right after I finish reading one that is at least remotely 'good', I can't stop gushing at the plot, the twists and turns, and the what-the-heck-did-I-just-read?... Continue Reading →
