The roller coaster that was my January reading ground to a halt in February. I can’t even blame the weather because Michigan has had one of its most mild winters (so far!) in years. Instead, it seems as if it’s something larger in the air because most of the readers and bloggers I know reported the same thing. Sadly, this means I’m going to sound crankier than ever in this ...

The Sun Down Motel
I was going to call today and Wednesday's posts 'The Saints that Saved My Reading', but decided my odd sense of humor might not translate well. You see, I’ve been experiencing Goldilocks reading—everything is too much or not enough and it’s annoying. That is until last week when the saints arrived. Today I’m here to talk about The Sun Down Motel by Simone St. James. Check back ... Read More...
January Reading Wrap-up
My January reading was as all over-the-board as the weather here in Ann Arbor.

It’s not about setting up a scene and making a picture of it. It’s about being ... Read More...
December Reading Wrap-Up

Out of the 17 books I read, 12 got 3.5 stars or higher. I ... Read More...
Creepy December: Part Two
Oh boy, my month of mood-reading thriller-mania continues! Earlier in the month I shared my creepy December reading. Today's version is going to be super specific: women who leave behind diaries. Somehow, two of the suspense novels I read this month have a main character who narrates through their writing. And yes, that does mean they’re no longer active in the plot except for ...

Recursion
Blake Crouch’s new novel, Recursion, has left me stumped. In order to review a book, I need to be able, to some degree, to understand it and in this case I’m not sure I do. It’s about time travel and its impact. Sort of. Maybe. I think… It’s 2007 and Helena Smith is a neuroscientist whose mother has Alzheimer’s. She has spent years trying to devise a way to capture and map ... Read More...
