I have been wanting to read this for, well forever. I am so glad I finally did. I did do the audio version. I'm glad because it was great since it was narrated by her. I don't typically do very well with audio-books but this one hooked me in. If you have this on your … Continue reading Review: Becoming by Michelle Obama

Mini Reviews: Sea of Monsters, & Wishful Drinking

July 16, 2020July 11, 2020 / Leslie / 8 Comments

I remember watching this movie and thinking it was absolutely terrible. It was part of the reason it took me so long to read the books. I should have known better. This was so good. I loved Tyson so much. There was a lot of action in this book and I never found myself bored. … Continue reading Mini Reviews: Sea of Monsters, & Wishful Drinking

The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix

July 13, 2020July 7, 2020 / Leslie / 2 Comments

I have seen this all over and I was so hesitant. I had started to see good things and I thought it sounded interesting. I feel like I've been very "unpopular" in my ratings lately. It took me a long time to get into this book. There's an extreme amount of sexism in this book. … Continue reading The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix

Educated by Tara Westover

July 9, 2020July 3, 2020 / Leslie / 4 Comments

I picked this up because so many people recommended it. I didn't even know what it was about. Wow, was it intense! I might have picked this up at the wrong time since I'm a huge mood reader. It did take me a long time to actually get through this one. It's not that it's … Continue reading Educated by Tara Westover
