And I need a new book to read. And NOT Sarah’s Key, Audible – that book scares the shit out of me, so quit trying to shove it down my throat! Ugh, I am tired of contemporary stuff and want … Continue reading →

avatar

Posted on January 4, 2015 by

Oh, sigh. Starting 2015 out in true Kelley fashion, I hated this book. I came across The Occupation of Eliza Goode while looking for a nice historical novel, and it sadly fell flat for me. The book is told by … Continue reading →

Does anyone really enjoy this book? I mean, really, actually enjoy reading it. I can see someone saying something like “it’s a great book!” (which I don’t necessarily agree with), but to actually ENJOY THE READING of this book would … Continue reading →

Posted on July 23, 2014 by

Michelle says: I am so glad I found this book. I was getting dangerously close to another bitter “I hate every book ever written ever in the history of ever” phase. I mean, it could be that I completely lost … Continue reading →

Written in my Own Heart’s Blood (Outlander #8) – Diana Gabaldon
avatar

Posted on June 26, 2014 by

Oh man. There’s so much here that I COULD complain about. I could complain that this book didn’t really advance any storylines at all. Nothing life-altering happens, no big mysteries are solved, they basically spent the whole book thinking that … Continue reading →

avatar

Posted on June 24, 2014 by

I am not cool with this book. I could maybe learn to be OK with leaving the Claire and Jamie chapters to see Bree and Roger in the 80s and living at Lallybroch once in a while, but…I do NOT … Continue reading →

The Fiery Cross (Outlander #5) – Diana Gabaldon
avatar

Posted on May 23, 2014 by

Ugh. I just…I don’t know what to say about these books anymore. It’s so difficult to review these since they’re SO FREAKING HUGE and they don’t necessarily have a theme. So much stuff happens that things that happened in the … Continue reading →

The Lord John series – Diana Gabaldon
avatar

Posted on May 9, 2014 by

These all seem to be mysteries, which is not generally a genre I’m drawn to. I don’t entirely understand why there are so many books about Lord John, who I always considered to be a rather boring character, but Gabaldon … Continue reading →
