Fiction I Couldn't Put Down!
The fiction books that consumed my life for a few days. Fast-paced, immersive, emotional, and impossible to stop reading once I started.
i loved the story, and the main characters addie and luc and how their stories unfurled together. i really enjoyed the time hops between chapters so i could get the full picture of their 300 years together. i always like stories like that. i thought ...

Verity

i thought the story telling of how each husband represented a different stage of her life was well done. i think evelyn was a brave woman and i enjoyed hearing her find herself throughout her lifetime.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo: A Novel
1
I think this may be the fastest I read a book so far this year! yeehaw! Anyways, I really like thrillers, and I enjoyed the book. It really picked up for me a little more then halfway through, where I read almost 200 pages in 2 days, which is UNHEARD...
The Woman in the Window: A Novel

loved it! i read it as a kid and didn’t remember much and it was fun to go back to it. i understood it a lot better as a grown up instead of through a child’s eyes. it kept me very entertained and i always looked forward to reading it! though i found...

Confessions of the Dead: A Thriller
1
i picked this book up in the clearance section, figuring it sounded interesting enough for a few bucks, and i love a book bargain. i figured it was kinda hunger games like with the idea of civilians of a city killing each other and the sole victor be...
Immortal Longings (Flesh & False Gods Book 1)
1
i definitely felt there was a slow start, and that sometimes the author used the thesaurus for different words too often as i thought it was a bit odd sometimes her wording. BUT i have the same feelings as the first book as my initial feeling was “eh...
Vilest Things: A Novel (Flesh & False Gods)
1

Throne of Glass

ok! this book was actually really good! i wasn’t expecting to love it so much. i picked it up from the thrift store bc it looked interesting, and i had absolutely no idea that it was a modern retelling of the greek myth of Medea. i LOVE modern retell...
This Poison Heart
1
wasn’t sure what to expect with this book, but i LOVED IT! i’ve never read norse mythology fiction before, so it took a bit of google searches to help me understand what the characters were talking about at the beginning, but i found myself really in...
A Fate Inked in Blood: Saga of the Unfated

Spirituality
Sometimes you need to read books for your soul, I found these impactful and lifechanging.
i found this pamphlet to be very helpful in connecting my own spiritual journey to a text. often times i read spiritual texts and find myself not understanding or not enjoying the wording as i don’t find the overall vocabulary to match my beliefs and...

Trashy Fiction, Gotta Love it!
like a chick flick, but in a book! entertaining, not difficult to read. very entertaining!
i was dog sitting and one of the dogs had eaten the tv remote before i had arrived. needing something to entertain myself, i turned to this book. it was trashy. it was delightfully drama filled. the story captivated me enough to want to know what hap...
Dirty Rush

couldn’t put this book down! not my normal genre but i’m a sucker for greek mythology. i thought it was an interesting retelling of persephone and hades, it’s like an adult percy jackson story
A Touch of Darkness (Hades x Persephone Saga 1)
definitely liked the first book better. i did like though reading the same events from Hades perspective, and seeing new ones we heard about him mention to Persephone but didn’t know too much about at the time. I thought this book was way more sexual...
A Game of Fate (Hades x Persephone Saga Book 2)
1
Thrillers
I LOVE a good thriller! They are captivatingly creepy and it always blows my mind how the author builds the story and the characters.
joe goldberg is a very well written character, and being in his world/mind space is at times uncomfy (like joe i didn’t need to know everything!!) BUT the author truly dove into what makes joe, joe. caroline kepnes wrote a masterfully creepy guy with...
You: A Novel
1
i definitely looked forward to reading it and would run to my book every chance i got to read more, but it’s the ending that lowers my rating. i wouldn’t call it the best psychological thriller, but it was entertaining
The Perfect Marriage
1
definitely an easy read- it’s written through a teenagers perspective and it’s a YA thriller, so it’s very easy to follow. i agree with other reviews that poor ivy did not receive justice. i was hanging on to the story and waiting to see how it would...
The Twin
1
this book was an interesting concept of an attempted murder victim who survived an attack, and couldn’t remember what happened after. and the story takes place with her as an adult in the same town it occurred in after her attacker died. i picked thi...

Historical Fiction
I actually really love historical fiction! It keeps me engaged and I like learning about different time periods of human history.
this book was SO GOOD! i wasn’t sure what to think as i’m not a very big fan of historical fiction, but i really liked how it was 4 generations in one story, so you really got to know the characters from different perspectives. i thought the book bui...
Pachinko (National Book Award Finalist)

i thought the book was quite good! especially for my first ever book club book :) i thought the story and the plot were very clever which kept me interested; however, i also thought that it was a bit too neat/coincidental and everything fell perfectl...
