derI didn’t read as much this month as I have in the past. Having a baby has hurt my reading time more than I expected. (All parents out there are probably laughing at my naivety) Onyx Storm  by: Rebecca Yarros I gave this book five stars! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ This book is the third book in the series, I really liked the first book in the series but the second book I didn’t love. But Onxy Storm really made up for the lackluster response I had to book two. I am going to give a short summary and be carefeul not to give away any spoilers from books…

Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens I really put off reading this book.  I am not sure why.  I got it from the library several times and each time it sat unread until it was time to return it.  I feel like I get nervous to read books that have great critical acclaim.  I just worry that they’re not going to live up to the hype.  Well this one did.  This is the novel of a young girl who grows up in a quiet fishing village.  She is left by her mother at a young age, her father later, and in the meantime all of her siblings leave as…

Well this month I definitely fell short of my goal of one book per week.  In the entire month of October I only finished… one book!  It wasn’t even an awesome one.  Hopefully in November I’ll be back on track.  Although this school year is really getting the best of me. So here goes! Sex and Vanity by Kevin Kwan If you’ve read the rest of my reviews, I LOVED the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy.  When I saw that Kwan had written a new novel, I HAD to read it! This book was decent.  I didn’t love it as much as I wanted to.  This is the story of a…

I am determined this year to finally meet my ongoing goal of reading 50 books in a year.  That works out to be about a book per week.  I manifest it in my start today journal and I keep a book on me at all times!  This month I read some interesting ones. Carnegie’s Maid by Marie Benedict It tells the story of a young girl that comes from Ireland to America to make money to send back to help her family.  Clara is mistaken for a girl who is to become the maid to Andrew Carnegie’s mother.  Clara sees this as an opportunity and she tries to fit into…
