Don’t worry about spilling the beans, I’ve read them all.
Such a robust topic, that I simply must talk about it again. Apologies. Link to the article about the worst book to screen adaptations determined by statistics: https://thetab.com/2024/11/07/the-verdicts-in-these-are-officially-the-worst-ever-book-to-screen-adaptations
I talk all about my experience reading this book by an author I have heard great things about recently, Fredrik Backman
A light little romance book review, as well as mentioning some other recent reads of mine, some recommendations for fall, and then at the end of the episode I touch on some of my winter TBR.
I take on this science fiction book and talk about how it compares to the recent screen adaptation. It is always interesting to see how they decide to go about bringing the world to the big screen.
Started my read of this YA mystery series!
Though this author is known for a lot of his novels in the horror genre, this interesting tale of time travel doesn't fall into the same genre, even though time travel could be seen by some to be a nightmare.
A nice little bonus episode for this Halloween day. This is an episode where I talk about my paper written about Frankenstein and what my thoughts are today. If you are my sister's co-worker, shout out to you lol.
Loved this cozy mystery, and it really gave me my fix of the fall baking show vibe!
I recently read this new release, sequel to Better Than the Movies , and I share my thoughts about them both.
Another mystery thriller's beans spilled today with this wild ride of a book.
Not every book is worth a re-read, so listen to hear some of my criteria!
This quickly became one of my favorite reads of the year!
What is more fall than a murder mystery? Tried to pull myself further out of my slump by listening to this one, and it feels good to be on a roll!
Know what you are getting into! Be aware of the difference between an open-door romance and a closed-door romance, because somehow I got confused... but listen to hear my thoughts on this little novella!
I am in a slump... a reading slump. Let's deal with it.
To break up the episodes a bit from so many spill the beans, I thought I would record a little episode where I just catch you up on some of my recent book thoughts and where I am at.
Diving into this book that I have heard SO much about for SO long.
Combo ep of some of my recent reads, my ratings and whether or not I would recommend.
This week I talk about this thriller novel, my rating, and whether or not I would recommend it to read.
I talk about this novel and the TV show adaptation.
This mystery staple finally made its way onto my read list, and I share my thoughts!
This week we wrap up season 2 with a list of books I recommend for the summer and some books I have my eye on for the summer!
I talk about Babel by R. F. Kuang and how amazing I thought it was! I have so many more thoughts I can't wait to share, so take a listen and if you are intrigued, keep an eye out for more episodes on this book.
This week I talk about this historical fiction, and I discuss what my honest thoughts were on this book. I don't usually rate books this low!
I talk about Madeline Miller's book Circe. I have always had an interest in Greek myth, so I love finding great sources to learn more and see a more creative expansion of what little information we really have.
Understanding Shakespeare is basically like trying to understand another language... because it kind of is! I share some of the tips I learned from my brief time studying Shakespeare that may help you.
I read this cute little rom-com style book, and spill the beans in today's episode. I talk about whether or not I would recommend this book, and how I felt about it, and then I give a brief disclaimer before I move into talking about some more specific details of the book.
This week I spill the beans on this tragic story. While I appreciate a sad ending, I am not quite sure this one exactly hit the spot. Listen to hear my thoughts.
This week I spill the beans on this old classic, of a tale from the French Revolution. Even though it is one I had never heard of (somehow) it is a classic that is well-loved!
I talk about my recent finish of Sarah J. Maas' sequel to A Court of Thorns and Roses, which is A Court of Mist and Fury . I also talk about my feelings about the genre of fantasy in general.
