Book 4/30. My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was so damn cute 😍 The general consensus among Goodreads reviewers is that some stories are stronger than others and while I agree with the sentiment, I enjoyed ALL the retellings. It's just that some were enjoyed more than others 😅 I wasn’t too crazy about … Continue reading Love in Colour by Bolu Babalola

Book 3/30. My rating: 5 of 5 stars I say all the time that Nora Roberts is my favourite author, but yooo Kristin Hannah is quickly usurping that title. And no, this isn’t me pitting two women against each other because we don’t do that over here. I’ve been reading Ms. Roberts for 13/14 years … Continue reading The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah

Book 2/30. My rating: 4 of 5 stars My first Jennifer Weiner read was In Her Shoes which I bought because it was made into a movie starring Cameron Diaz and Toni Colette, so I was certain I was in for a good time.It ended up being a very mediocre 2 star read, and my … Continue reading Who Do You Love by Jennifer Weiner

Book 39/30. My rating: 2 of 5 stars If I were to describe this book in one word it would be drawn-the-fuck-out! This book had no business being longer than 200 pages from the reviews at the beginning to the readers guide at the end, yet it’s a whopping 459 pages!! I bought this book … Continue reading What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty

Book 38/30. My rating: 3 of 5 stars I hadn’t read a Pulitzer Prize winning novel in a couple of years and this served as a reminder of why I tend to stay away from them as I really don’t understand why the prose of Pulitzer Prize winning novels has to be so… unfriendly. My … Continue reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy

Book 37/30. My rating: 2 of 5 stars I can’t believe I’ve wanted to read this ever since I shelved it on my Goodreads TBR shelf on January 23, 2017 because yikes this was so fucking mediocre 🥴🥴🥴 The final sentence of this book’s synopsis reads – But destiny is a funny thing, and in … Continue reading Love, Rosie by Cecelia Ahern

Book 36/30. My rating: 4 of 5 starsI had no idea this was John Grisham's first book until I read the author’s note at the beginning of the novel and all I can say is the talent is real! This was a well-written, relatively fast paced legal thriller that did not read like a debut … Continue reading A Time to Kill by John Grisham
