Laughed, cried and felt all of my small town in the Midwest feels!
The Old Place by Bobby Finger
Â
I thought this was going to be a fun and adventurous book that reminded me of Fosters Home for Imaginary friends… it is all of those things, but a bit more fantasy rolled into it (as someone who typically doesn't enjoy fantasy) and such a beautiful l...
The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune
Â
5/5 stars My favorite book of all time, hands down. I have bought this book upwards of 10 times. I keep copies on hand to give to fellow readers as a gift. Best experience reading on a cold rainy day, curled up on the couch with a mug of coffee.
The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey
Â
5/5 stars Such a beautiful story! This book did take me quite awhile to finish, it spans such a long time period and is very detailed, so if you’re looking for a quick, light read, this probably isn’t the book for you to read right now.

I don’t read a ton of Greek mythology, so I will admit I had a hard time ...
The Song of Achilles: A Novel
Â
4.5/5 stars for me! I knocked this book out over two days of a snowy holiday weekend and it was the perfect read for the moment. If you liked The Language of Sycamores or Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, I think you’d love this book. It touches o...
