October 2019 Wrap Up

It seems like every October, I start losing steam and have a hard time reading. This October was no different. It was just slow going. I didn’t even finish a book until the very end of the second week in October. SpookAthon helped me add some books to the finished pile and I at least ended the month on a strong note with a 5 star read.

I’m thinking I want to make this wrap up a little more organized, especially going in to the new year, so let’s start off with some stats.

What I Read

Let’s start off with what I read for SpookAthon, since I already have a wrap up HERE. You can read my more in depth thoughts there.

But for the quick review:

I listened to, via Hoopla Undone by Karin Slaughter. This is the 3rd installment in the Will Trent series, and as with the other two, I gave it 5 stars. This series is excellent and I am so sad I cannot find the 4th book on audio. But no fear, I have a physical copy. (But the audiobooks are so so good.)

I also listened to Tunnel of Bones by VIctoria Schwab, also through Hoopla. This was okay for me. A decent middle grade novel. Fast, east and rather entertaining. I thought this was slightly better than the first in the series and I gave it 3 stars. I will continue on when the next one is released.

Lastly, I grabbed a copy of Small Spaces by Katherine Arden from my local Library. I adored this middle grade novel. I will actually be picking up a copy for myself and nephew. I thought this was written a little better than Tunnel of Bones and I liked the story a little more. This got 5 stars from me.

The first book I finished in the month of October was If We Were Villains by M.L Rio. I grabbed the audiobook of this from Hoopla (Hoopla was my best friend this month). I tried to read this physically, but was not into it, so I figured why not try the audio before officially DNFing it. I am glad I did. I liked the characters in this as well as the mystery. The Shakespeare references and quotes I struggled with, but it didn’t hinder my enjoyment of the story. I won’t give my star rating as this was part of my 5 star predictions post and I will follow up with a more in deoth post when I finish reading all of them.

I also read Deceptions by Judith Michael. This book was loaned to me by a client who thought I would enjoy it. And I very much did. This was not a book I would probably have picked up on my own so sometimes I need someone putting it into my hands telling me to read it.

This is about twin sisters who, when reaching college age, went very different paths from each other. When on a trip to China, they twins decide to go home to the others lives, just for a week. To live the life the other sister has. But something unexpected happens, something no one could have saw coming, and nothing will be the same again.

I really did enjoy this. It is an older title, but it is like nothing I have read before. I feel like today, stories are continuously recycled. Even though this is a very backlist title, it felt new and refreshing. Each character had a distinct personality, even the very minor characters. No one got lost in the shuffle. The writing was very good. Nothing felt unbelievable, even though it could be argued that the plot itself was a little unbelievable. I felt the characters were very true to real life. This book did take me quite awhile to get through. Not because I wasn’t enjoying it, but because it was very dense. A lot is packed into this book. The ending was a little open ended, however there is a sequel to it, which I plan on reading by the end of the year. I ended up giving this 4 stars.

To finish off my audiobooks borrowed from Hoopla, I read Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake. This was for the Facebook group The Page Turners monthly buddy read. I did not enjoy this one at all. I found myself half listening to it, just so I could finish. To be fair, I think it was because of the audiobook and not the actual content of the book. The narrator, in my opinion, was not good at all. The character voices were terrible and it took me right out the story. The one thing I will say about it is that I very much disliked this romance. It was just a little strange to me and I could not get behind it. I ended up giving this 2 stars. Initially, I thought I might go back and physically read it, because I have seen this recommended so much. Plus, I have really been enjoying this authors other work with Three Dark Crowns. But after some thought, I think I am going to let this one go and skip the rest of it.

To end my month, my hold for The Whisper Man by Alex North FINALLY came in from the library. I feel like I was on hold forever. This book had a lot of hype around it. I was a little hesitate to read it, and didn’t initially plan to read it. Mostly because I have not had good luck with new release thrillers. However, this book absolutely lived up to the hype. I loved the heck out of this book. I was hooked after about 30 pages. It was so creepy. And it has what I love in thrillers, short chapters. Chapters that always ended on a cliffhanger, where I found myself going “just one more chapter” over and over again. The subject matter of the book does involve children, so if harm to children is a trigger for you, I would skip this. However, that does not bother me and I found this to be something I could not put down. 5 Stars for this one.

I did end up DNFing two books. American Predator by Maureen Callahan was an audiobook I picked up on Scribd. I was really feeling it so I decided I was just going to be done. I also DNFed The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay. This may be another case of a bad audiobook. I may try to physically read this in the future. But I did not want to risk another reading slump so I put this aside for the time being.

If you are still with me, and read my lengthy wrap up THANK YOU! I have been a little absent on here, but my goal is to be more consistent.

Have you read any of these? Let’s chat in the comments!

book blog Book Review Goodreads Monday Uncategorized

Goodreads Monday : 11/04/19

The concept is super simple and was started by @Lauren’s Page Turners. To participate, randomly choose a book of your “Want To Read” shelf on Goodreads and explain why you want to read it.

All of my books on my “Want to Read” shelf are book that I currently own.

This weeks book is:

The Wangs vs. the World – – Jade Chang

Goodreads Blurb

A hilarious debut novel about a wealthy but fractured Chinese immigrant family that had it all, only to lose every last cent – and about the road trip they take across America that binds them back together.

Charles Wang is mad at America. A brash, lovable immigrant businessman who built a cosmetics empire and made a fortune, he’s just been ruined by the financial crisis. Now all Charles wants is to get his kids safely stowed away so that he can go to China and attempt to reclaim his family’s ancestral lands – and his pride. 

Charles pulls Andrew, his aspiring comedian son, and Grace, his style-obsessed daughter, out of schools he can no longer afford. Together with their stepmother, Barbra, they embark on a cross-country road trip from their foreclosed Bel-Air home to the upstate New York hideout of the eldest daughter, disgraced art world it-girl Saina. But with his son waylaid by a temptress in New Orleans, his wife ready to defect for a set of 1,000-thread-count sheets, and an epic smash-up in North Carolina, Charles may have to choose between the old world and the new, between keeping his family intact and finally fulfilling his dream of starting anew in China. 

Outrageously funny and full of charm, The Wangs vs. the World is an entirely fresh look at what it means to belong in America – and how going from glorious riches to (still name-brand) rags brings one family together in a way money never could.

Why I want to read it

I have had this book on my Want to Read shelf for 3 years… 3 years! I am pretty sure I bought this after hearing about it on Book Riot’s podcast All the Books. It caught my attention because it is about a dysfunctional family. And I absolutely love dysfunctional family stories. Its is also suppose to be a humorous story, which is something else I really enjoy. I did pick this up once before, and was quite enjoying it, but I put it down. I don’t even remember why i did that. I usually really enjoy stories by Asian authors and I am sure I will enjoy this when I finally pick it up.

Book Review : A Ladder to the Sky

A Ladder to the Sky – – John Boyne

Genre – – Contemporary

Rating – -4 Stars

Published – – November 13, 2018

Goodreads Blurb

Maurice Swift is handsome, charming, and hungry for success. The one thing he doesn’t have is talent – but he’s not about to let a detail like that stand in his way. After all, a would-be writer can find stories anywhere. They don’t need to be his own. Working as a waiter in a West Berlin hotel in 1988, Maurice engineers the perfect opportunity: a chance encounter with celebrated novelist Erich Ackermann. He quickly ingratiates himself with the powerful – but desperately lonely – older man, teasing out of Erich a terrible, long-held secret about his activities during the war. Perfect material for Maurice’s first novel. 

Once Maurice has had a taste of literary fame, he knows he can stop at nothing in pursuit of that high. Moving from the Amalfi Coast, where he matches wits with Gore Vidal, to Manhattan and London, Maurice hones his talent for deceit and manipulation, preying on the talented and vulnerable in his cold-blooded climb to the top. But the higher he climbs, the further he has to fall…

Review


First, “The Heart’s Invisible Furies” was my NUMBER 1 read of 2017. I recommend that book to EVERYONE, and the more I think about it, I should pick it up again soon. 

The only thing you need to know about this work of art is we are introduced to Maurice, a man who, early on is life, decides he wants to be a writer. And he will do anything, and I mean ANYTHING, to make that happen. He is a terrible human being, so unlikeable through and through. But you can’t help but want to read this and see where it goes. I cannot imagine wanted something so badly, a career at that, that I would do things, some which are unthinkable, to achieve that “something”. 

“A Ladder to the Sky” is my second John Boyne novel, following “The Heart’s Invisible Furies”. And maybe my expectations were too high and unrealistic. By no means is this a bad book. It is very good actually. Well written, unique storyline that, for the most part is well developed. The only negative I have is I feel the ending was rushed. Most times, books are dragged out too long. In this case, I felt it could do with a few more pages. I would gladly read them. 

I give this one 4 stars. The only thing stopping me from going a full 5 stars, is it is not as great as his previous novel. However, I think I have found a new favorite author of mine.

#TBR Book Tag Challenge

I saw this tag awhile ago and I saved it and I am now finally getting around to doing it. I originally saw it Portobello Book Blog

How do you keep track of your TBR pile?

I do it one of two ways. First, all of the books that I physically own that are unread are the books listed on my Goodreads “Want to read” shelf. Anything that I do not own physically but want to read, I keep listed in my bullet journal.

Is your TBR mostly print or ebook?

By far the majority is physical books. I am approaching 200 unread books on my bookshelf where as my Kindle has less that 30.

How do you determine which book from your TBR to read next?

I have recently determined I am a mood reader. I don’t requests a lot of ARCS for that reason. So, since I do not have the schedule of release dates, I just stand in front of my shelves and see what jumps out at me. For the newest releases, I put my name on my libraries waiting list and when those come in, they become my poroity. And for those ARCS I do request, I read those in publication order, usually a month before release.

A book that’s been on your TBR list the longest?

That would have to be The Girl With all the Gifts by M.R. Carey. I bought this book forever ago and still have not read it.

A book you recently added to your TBR pile?

I recently picked up Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chobosky. I never actually read The Perks of being a Wallflower, but this one was just calling to me. I plan to get to this one sooner rather than later.

A book in your TBR strictly because of its beautiful cover?

That one is easy. The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon. I don’t really read fantasy, especially YA fantasy. But I couldn’t pass on this one. I needed it for my shelves.

A book on your TBR that you never plan on reading?

I’d like to say that I plan on reading everything that is on my TBR list, thats why I have it. However, I don’t think that’s fair to say. I am going to go with one that I just mentioned, The Priory of the ORange Tree, but also Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell.

An unpublished book on your TBR that you are excited for?

This one is a no brainer. The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern.

A book on your TBR that basically everyone has read but you?

Lately it seems to be The Diviners by Libba Bray.

A book on your TBR that everyone recommends to you?

That would have to be The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah.

A book on your TBR that you are dying to read?

It by Stephen King. I have been wanting to read this forever. It is going to happen soon!

How many books on your TBR shelf?

I think I am hovering around the 140 number. That is the number of books on my physical, currently own TBR. If I am counted books that I do not own, I have lost count!

And there it is! Please tag me or comment your link if you decide to do this tag! I want to see everyone’s answers.

Book Review : My Lovely Wife

My Lovely Wife : Samantha Downing

Genre : Thriller

Release Date : March 26, 2019

Rating : 2 Stars

Unpopular opinion time. I did not like this book at all. I thought it was mediocre at best and I have most certainly read better thrillers than this.

As always, read the blurb at your own risk. I always go into thrillers blind.

GOODREADS BLURB

Our love story is simple. I met a gorgeous woman. We fell in love. We had kids. We moved to the suburbs. We told each other our biggest dreams, and our darkest secrets. And then we got bored.

We look like a normal couple. We’re your neighbors, the parents of your kid’s friend, the acquaintances you keep meaning to get dinner with.

We all have secrets to keeping a marriage alive.

Ours just happens to be getting away with murder.

REVIEW

This was just not anything I was expecting. I heard some GREAT reviews from some Booktubers I follow so I couldn’t wait to read this. 

Lets just say, I hate read most of this. 

I LOATHED the characters, all of them, right down to the kids. Which is never grounds for me to give 2 stars, but I really couldn’t get passed it. 

On top of unlikable characters, I didn’t find anything special about this story. I feel like I have read it before, but done better. Husband and wife, you think they love each other but, oops, that may not be the case. So lets do something absolutely ridiculous and try to get away with it. Ugh, no thank you. 

And the #1 thing that drove me absolutely nuts was the mention of money, or finance or can and can’t afford. The one thing I CAN NOT stand is people living pretty well off in a gated community complaining how they are broke. 

On the plus side, the cover is beautiful and the writing is fine. The story was just not meh.

Overall, nope, not for me. I’m surprised I finished it. I kept holding out for something special, some big reveal, but nothing.

Book Review : The Arrangement

The Arrangement : Robyn Harding

Genre : Thriller

Release Date : July 30, 2019

Rating : 3.5 Stars

This is another tricky one for me.  On one hand, I COULD NOT put this down.  I read it in two sittings. But on the other, there were parts of this I just didn’t like.  Most of my notes are on the negative side, or at least it’s the problematic things I noticed. 

As always with Thrillers, read the blurb at your own risk. I prefer to go in blind.

GOODREADS BLURB

Natalie, a young art student in New York City, is struggling to pay her bills when a friend makes a suggestion: Why not go online and find a sugar daddy—a wealthy, older man who will pay her for dates, and even give her a monthly allowance? Lots of girls do it, Nat learns. All that’s required is to look pretty and hang on his every word. Sexual favours are optional.

Though more than thirty years her senior, Gabe, a handsome corporate finance attorney, seems like the perfect candidate, and within a month, they are madly in love. At least, Nat is…Gabe already has a family, whom he has no intention of leaving.

So when he abruptly ends things, Nat can’t let go. She begins drinking heavily and stalking him: watching him at work, spying on his wife, even befriending his daughter, who is not much younger than she is. But Gabe’s not about to let his sugar baby destroy his perfect life. What was supposed to be a mutually beneficial arrangement devolves into a nightmare of deception, obsession, and, when a body is found near Gabe’s posh Upper East Side apartment, murder.

REVIEW

One of the biggest reasons I did not rate this higher was because of the writing style.  It was both lacking and too descriptive at the same time. What I mean by that is, when describing what the characters were doing, what they were eating, where they were, it was all so wordy.  But when it came to the action parts, the thrilling parts, when I wanted to know more, it was lacking. It was also more of a “let me tell you” writing style as opposed to a “let me show you” writing style.  Some parts felt like a flashback, even though the events only happened yesterday in the book timeline. When I am reading a mystery/thriller, I want to be in the action in the story. Not be told about it later.

Now, on to the characters in the book.  Simply put, they are all horrible people.  Nat, who is the main female character, is just terrible from the beginning.  As is Gabe who is the main male character. Nat is a 21 year old struggling art school student.  She comes from a broken home with no real male role models or father figures. Which later plays a huge role in her Sugar Daddy/Sugar Baby relationship.  Gabe becomes her first Sugar Daddy. The things he says, it is like, “did he really just say that?”. The overall feel with these characters is I just really didn’t care what happened to them.  They could have all been killed off and I would just be like okay.  

I don’t know if there were mental health issues going on in either or both of these characters.  It was never addressed, but personalities changed in a matter of a few pages, like completely new characters, especially Nat.  There was no real explanation for it. You would think it was because of this new lifestyle she had, money and freedom and no worries.  But that wasn’t it. It was all weird and confusing. 

What I did like about this book was the pacing.  Although a little lackluster in parts, the story kept moving.  I wanted to know more, it was intriguing. Aside for the more “tell up” rather than “show you” style, the writing was fine. And even though everyone in this book was a horrible human being, it was still a decent read.

If you are like me, and do not need to like the characters in a book to enjoy it, then I would recommend this.

Goodreads Monday 10/7/19

Since I have been lacking in content, (life), I decided I wanted to take part in Goodreads Mondays. The concept is super simple and was started by @Lauren’s Page Turners. To participate, randomly choose a book of your “Want To Read” shelf on Goodreads and explain why you want to read it.

All of my books to my “Want to Read” shelf are books that I currently own.

This weeks book is:

Insomnia – – Stephen King

Goodreads Blurb

“Sleep, that undiscriminating friend, humankind’s best and most reliable nurse since the dawn of time, had abandoned him again.” 

Ralph Roberts never expected to live out his remaining golden years mourning the death of his beloved wife. He also never expected to begin suffering from chronic insomnia for the first time in his life. Each night he wakes up a little bit earlier, until he’s barely sleeping at all. During his overnight walks, he’s now observing some strange things going on here in Derry, Maine—and they’re more than sleep-deprived hallucinations. There’s definitely a mean streak that’s always been running through this small New England city; underneath its ordinary surface, awesome and terrifying forces are at work. The dying has been going on in Derry for a long, long time, and Ralph Roberts will soon find that lack of sleep is the least of his worries….

Why I Want to Read it

Every since I read the Bill Hodges Trilogy, I have been buying up Stephen King books every time I see them. I bought this off Book Outlet, and honestly, I know nothing about it. I just knew I wanted to own all the Stephen King books and read them eventually. Since 2019 has been a little lackluster in the quality of books I am reading, I am planning on spending 2020 reading books from authors I really enjoy. Stephen King will defiantly be on that list. I should get to this in the early part of 2020.

Have you read Insomnia? What are your thoughts? Let’s chat!

Until next time!

Book Review : Stalking Jack the Ripper

Stalking Jack the Ripper

Keri Maniscalco

I  have had this book for quite some time, but only just picked it up this week because of a group buddy read.  I am part of Chelsea Palmer’s Facebook group The Page Turners, and this was our read for September. I was excited to finally get to this, as I have been meaning to read it, I just haven’t made the time. I will say I was slightly disappointed, but overall it was not a terrible read and I will continue on with the series. 

Goodreads Blurb

Presented by James Patterson’s new children’s imprint, this deliciously creepy horror novel has a storyline inspired by the Ripper murders and an unexpected, blood-chilling conclusion…

Seventeen-year-old Audrey Rose Wadsworth was born a lord’s daughter, with a life of wealth and privilege stretched out before her. But between the social teas and silk dress fittings, she leads a forbidden secret life.

Against her stern father’s wishes and society’s expectations, Audrey often slips away to her uncle’s laboratory to study the gruesome practice of forensic medicine. When her work on a string of savagely killed corpses drags Audrey into the investigation of a serial murderer, her search for answers brings her close to her own sheltered world.

The story’s shocking twists and turns, augmented with real, sinister period photos, will make this dazzling, #1 New York Times bestselling debut from author Kerri Maniscalco impossible to forget.

GOODREADS

From the first sentence I was hooked.  Personally, I like darker, grittier stories.  And this first page showed promise of that. Of course, with this being YA, I knew it wouldn’t get as dark as I may have liked, especially with a title Stalking Jack the Ripper. But, it was off to a good start. 

The Buddy Read was broken into 5 days/sections.  The first 2 days/sections I was loving. I was annotating and underlining like crazy.  I really enjoyed autopsy descriptions and the details into the murders. I know, I am weird.  Mystery/Thriller/Horror is/are my favorite genres. But that is what caught my attention and what I was expecting from this. 

It started to lose me in the middle.  Not a whole lot happened and it was, dare I say, boring.  I didn’t find it to be of any significance when the aunt and cousin were introduced.  It didn’t add anything to the story. 

One of the things that stops me from connecting with YA, is the relationships. I had a hard time with the relationship between Audrey Rose and Thomas.  The banter between the two was just too much. It became very repetitive and just overall slightly ridiculous. 

Audrey Rose herself started to become too much, and I didn’t like her all that much.  This book focuses a lot on feminism and strong women being independent. But Audrey Rose started to become less strong and just more rude.  Her attitude and behaviors toward people were not only a stretch for the time period, but just not acceptable for any time period. I understand wanting to stand up for yourself and be strong and independent, but there is a way to do it without being condescending.  Unfortunately, Audrey Rose fell into the condescending category. 

The ending redeemed this for me.  It went back into the darkness of this story, put more action into it.  No, the ending wasn’t shocking. The “whodunit” was pretty obvious from the beginning. But the sequence on how we got the reveal was entertaining and capture my attention.   

If you want something to compare this to, the Veronica Speedwell series is a very close comparable.  The relationship dynamic is very similar, and it is a historical mystery series. I personally prefer the Veronica Speedwell series over this.  Probably because it is an adult and not YA, but I just think it was written better. 

Overall, this was just an okay read for me.  I enjoyed most of it, and because I have heard the series gets better, I will continue.  This was sitting at a 2.5/3 star but because of the ending I am giving it a 3.5.

Book Review : House on Fire

House on Fire

Bonnie Kistler

Goodreads Blurb

Divorce lawyer Leigh Huyett knows all too well that most second marriages are doomed to fail. But five years in, she and Pete Conley have a perfectly blended family of her children and his. To celebrate their anniversary, they grab some precious moments of alone time and leave Pete’s son Kip, a high school senior, in charge of Leigh’s fourteen-year-old daughter Chrissy at their home.

Driving back on a rainy Friday night, their cell phones start ringing. After a raucous party celebrating his college acceptance to Duke and his upcoming birthday, Kip was arrested for drunk driving after his truck crashed into a tree. And he wasn’t alone—Chrissy was with him.

Twelve hours later, Chrissy is dead and Kip is charged with manslaughter.

Kip has always been a notorious troublemaker, but he’s also a star student with a dazzling future ahead of him. At first, Leigh does her best to rally behind Pete and help Kip through his ordeal. Until he changes his story, and claims that he wasn’t driving after all—Chrissy was, and he swears there is a witness.

Leigh is stunned that he would lie about such a thing, while Pete clutches onto the story as the last, best hope to save his son, throwing his energy and money into finding this elusive witness. As they hurtle toward Kip’s trial date, husband and wife are torn between loyalty to their children and to each other, while the mystery of what really happened that night intensifies.

This richly conceived and tightly plotted psychological exploration of family and tragedy will have you racing toward its shocking and thought-provoking conclusion.

Goodreads

Review

This was….just not good. There was just too much going on. Four subplots, and our main one gets lost among the bunch. This originally appealed to me based off the synopsis of a family drama. I love family dramas, and this looked to be a hard hitting one. And I was into it. But then three other stories got brought into the mix, one which didn’t need to be there, one that made absolutely no sense, and one that could have been explored a bit more. And the last 80 pages? So unrealistic. And the ending, just was rushed and wrapped up into a perfectly neat HEA.

This book was longer than it needed to be, filled with things that didn’t need to be there. It had potential. If only it would have focused more on the core story. I would have enjoyed it more if it had.

Thank You to Netgally, the author Bonnie Kistler and Atria Books for the ARC.

WWW Wednesday 9/18/19

This is my first WWW Wednesday post. It is hosted on Taking on a World of Words , and I thought it be a great way to keep everyone updated on my week of reading.

To participate, you just have to answer 3 questions:

What are you currently reading?

What did you recently finish?

What do you think you will read next?

Currently Reading : I have two books that I am reading this book. First, I am doing a buddy read of Stalking Jack the Ripper. I am liking it, but not loving it. YA is hard for me. I should be finished this on Friday, with a full review shortly after.

I am also listening to Harry’s Trees. I am only 3 chapters in, so I don’t have many thoughts on this. Except I am not so sure I like the narrator. I will listen to a few more chapters before deciding if I will just physically read it.

Recently Finished : Last week I finished 2 books. ‘Salem’s Lot and All the Rage.

I have a full review HERE of All the Rage.

I am thinking I need to reread ‘Salem’s Lot again, in the near future. I don’t know if I was in the right headspace when I read it and feel I missed quite a bit. For now, I am giving it just an average rating, but I absolutely what to reread it, because I think it could be an above average read for me.

Up Next : I have 2 books left on my TBR for the month. So next week I think I will be picking up the illustrated version of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I am very exciting for the release of the 4th illustrated version next month.

Comment below your answers to these! Thoughts on what I am currently reading? I love to chat!
