The Handmaid’s Tale: Last Update

I fell behind on reading The Handmaid's Tale so please excuse this late update with most of the book jumbled together. The actual full review will be up on Sunday as per usual. Chapters 14 to End Discussion I feel like Boshra Rasti definitely was inspired by Atwood's story. The parallels between the two are … Continue reading The Handmaid’s Tale: Last Update →

Handmaid’s Tale Update 2

Chapters 8-13 Discussion Still feeling major 1984 vibes, but not as much as Chapters 1 through 7. I am no longer getting déjà vu of AHS either – but seriously, AHS writers should take notes. I read all of this in one night. I could not stand to put the book down. I can now … Continue reading Handmaid’s Tale Update 2 →

Handmaid’s Tale Update 1

I meant to write something Sunday, but completely forgot so..... Chapters 1-7 Discussion I am feeling some major 1984 vibes here while also getting a deja vu of American Horror Story. Why towards the AHS? No idea. 1984 because of the continuous reference of everyone being watched. My questions are: is abortion illegal? have there … Continue reading Handmaid’s Tale Update 1 →

Anyway - I decided to take a break from reviewing for a week to "catch myself back up". I like having a buffer week between reviews and what … Continue reading Break Week →

Going Back to the Classics

This week, instead of reading something new, I went back to the classics and read my old-time favorite, Pride and Prejudice. For weeks I have been tempted to pull my copy out again because of how frequently it was showing up on my Instagram feed - it seemed like everyone was either reading it again … Continue reading Going Back to the Classics →

Letters From Past and Discussion of Future

Latest Read: Letters to Bizzy by John M. Tabor Genre: Realistic Fiction? I honestly don't know what to do about this book as I did not technically finish it, so please bare with me. I cannot, in my right mind, rate the book or give it a score. I feel doing so would be dishonest … Continue reading Letters From Past and Discussion of Future →

Remodeling with no Room

Hey guys! So just a short little blip today. This past week my fiancé and I have been remodeling our house to take it from that of an old woman’s to that of a young adult couple. As a result, I have no office, barely a bedroom, and a practically unusable kitchen. It’s to the … Continue reading Remodeling with no Room →

Turkey Coma

Happy Thanksgiving I hope everyone enjoyed spending time with their family. The holidays can tend to be difficult especially on the family level. Personally, my holidays tend to be filled with drama, so if you try to avoid everyone and everything, I completely understand. I am thankful that I have come to the realization that … Continue reading Turkey Coma →

Unlike my fellow Bookstagramers, I decided to include authors rather than just … Continue reading Thankful for Books →
