This book gave me the biggest headache ever, but in a good way. I think. Multiple times throughout the book I thought to myself, either I’m an idiot or the author was on crack when she wrote this. It genuinely felt like I read 10 books in one sitting. The first half of this book […]

This book was less short and nice this week 🙁 “Money to Burn” was a bit of a hard read for me as I usually don’t enjoy reading action books. I am a bit stupid in the sense that I like seeing action type stories in video form (such as movies) more… But my personal […]

‘The Trenchcoat’ by Norman Manae, a part of the collection “Compulsory Happiness,” is set in Bucharest during the stirring history of the haunting truths of Romania’s last years under communist rule.

Held at Gun Point to finish this book(s?) ~ If on a Winter’s Night a Traveller by Italo Calvino
As I am seated here at my desk, I do not entirely know how to collect my thoughts to discuss this novel eloquently. Initially, when deciding on books for my contract, Calvino caught my eye because I had heard one of his previous stories. Of course, it was batshit insane (sorry for my language), but […]
