Reading

Because, unfortunately, Blogger does not let me auto populate these pages, the fastest way to find the latest reviews is to scroll through the home page. If there's a specific book you're looking for, type the title or author's name into the search bar, and if I've written about it, it should be there! Another great way to find what you're looking for is to explore the tags by clicking into the sidebar of the home page and clicking on the "Labels" tab. Here's a few short cuts to help you get where you want to go.

Weekly Reviews and Recommendations

This tag contains all of the reviews on the site!

Reading

While also including the reviews, if it has anything to do with reading books, it'll end up here, so some of the non-review posts are also included in this tag.

Literary Fiction

If you're a literary fiction lover, this is the spot for you to find your next great read.

Nonfiction

While I don't review nonfiction as often as fiction, I do occasionally spotlight this part of my reading life, and you'll find those posts here.

Standout Book

Here's a collection of all my 4.5 and 5 star books as well as any I might have rated lower but could not get out of my head. You'll only find the best of the best here.

Themed Lists

Sometimes, you need all the inspiration you can get. From a list of books inspired by Olivia Rodrigo's Sour to my favorite book of the year list, you'll find them here! 

YA

Please note that this tag is very incomplete. I'm trying my best to add this tag to all my backlog YA reviews, but there are hundreds of them, so this will never be all encompassing. I didn't used to tag books as YA because that was all I read! You'll find only YA reviews if you dive into the archive from 2017 to around 2021.

The Wedding People by Alison Espach: book review

Image
The Wedding People  by Alison Espach TW: Suicidal Thoughts  Overview: Phoebe is going to Newport, Rhode Island to die. After a sudden divorce, hitting a dead end at work, and her cat dying, Phoebe no longer has anything to live for. She decides she wants to die at a hotel she's always fantasized about visiting. Suddenly, price is no object. But when Phoebe arrives, she realizes there's been a horrible mistake. She's the only guest at the hotel not there for a wedding, and a run-in with the bride changes all of Phoebe's plans. Overall: 4.5 Characters: 5 This book sings because of its characters, true to the literary fiction genre. Phoebe is a lost, lonely professor at the start of the novel. She didn't manage to land a tenure job like her husband, something that grinds on her. She's made no progress towards publication in the decade since writing her dissertation. And her marriage ended after her husband had an affair, which he excused on the basis that they disc...

Which Sally Rooney Book You Should Read Based on the Specific Moment in Your Life

Image
Fall has been all about Sally Rooney, mine especially. I did a full Rooney reread leading up to Intermezzo' s release. Then I spent the first half of October reading her new novel and the second half running around Dublin and London looking at all the Rooney displays in the bookstores I visited. Bookstagram, too, has been thinking a lot about her novels. So, I decided with the books fresh in my mind, I would make a little guide to the Rooney-verse for those of you who haven't stuck a toe in her work yet but are now sufficiently intrigued. With four novels to choose from, it can be hard to know where to start, and I firmly believe a lot of how much you like a book is how well you connect with the story. Built from my very subjective opinion, here's my teen magazine-like test to figure out which of Rooney's books was made for you. Conversations with Friends Conversations with Friends  is a first person novel following a few months in Frances's life when she was twenty...

The Woman Destroyed by Simone de Beauvoir: Short Story Collection Review

Image
The Woman Destroyed  by Simone de Beauvoir  Overview: The book was first published in 1967, so it's by far the oldest book I've read by choice since I read Jane Austen in middle school. Classics assigned in grade school largely left a bad taste in my mouth, and I've never figured out how to decipher which ones actually deserve to stand the test of time. (If you'd like to give me more recommendations, I liked Rebecca , Pride and Prejudice , and Frankenstein  most). I have a weird relationship with things made before the '90s unless they're from the 1800s because I have no real context for what I think they'll sound like or feel like. A serious failure of the education system is that every history class I've ever taken stopped around 1900 and never covered any recent history besides random, isolated events. Since The Woman Destroyed  has suddenly become trendy amongst the lit fic online communities, I figured I'd hop on the bandwagon and give it a try....
