3 Reasons to Quit the Book You’re Reading

October 29, 2019

I was texting with a friend about the box of books I sent him last week. He said they are motivating him to finally finish the novel he’s been reading for…well I’ll just say it’s been quite a while now. I said, “You’re still slogging […]

January 25, 2018

It happens to the best of us. Even avid readers like myself can fall into a reading slump from time to time. Sometimes I finish a super good book (or more commonly it’s after I’ve read two or three great ones in a row,) I […]

Dark Matter
liked it
Dark Matter
by Blake Crouch
What if you were able to go back in life and take the path not taken? It's a fascinating concept. It took a little while to get into, and I got bogged down by the heavy science in the middle but otherwise this is a pretty good book. It's...

The Silent Wife
by A. S. A. Harrison
This is a thriller that unravels gradually. The twists aren't sharp but they are there. Every single character is unlikable, their behavior deplorable, but I couldn't help rooting for them at times. I went back and forth between the audi...
