My letter “M” pick for the A to Z book challenge was The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. This book was amazing. The general premise is that the main character,… Read more A to Z Book Review: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig →

My letter “G” pick for the 2022 A to Z book read was GALLANT by V.E. Schwab, a stand-alone gothic-style YA horror story with masterful plot weaving and subtle layers… Read more A to Z Book Review: GALLANT →
My letter F pick for my 2022 A to Z challenge was Fable by Adrienne Young, a book I’ve been meaning to read for a good, long while. If you love pirate-type adventurous YA with a mystical, magical feel (though there’s only the faintest touch of anything like magic), Fable, and it’s sequel, Namesake are the books for you. This book has an outrageously stunning cover, rich and masterful world-building, and vibrant characters woven together so beautifully, I swear I could smell the salt in the air and hear sails… Read more A to Z Book Review: Fable →
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 Glowing Stars My letter “E” book for 2022 just blew my head off my shoulders. Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine has been out for a few years and I heard good things about it so I added it to my list. Holy WOW! What a book!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars My letter “D” pick on my A to Z reading list for 2022 was The Dispatcher by John Scalzi. I caught this on Audible for free, but I’ve always liked Scalzi, so it was an easy pick. I was not disappointed. Though a short read (or “listen” as it was on audio), it was no less compelling. The premise is this: somehow, for some unknown and never explained reason, murdered people now come back from the dead. They return to the place they considered home, naked and… Read more A to Z Book Review: The Dispatcher By John Scalzi →
