I finally got around to reading the second book in Kotaro Isaka’s Assassins series. I stumbled upon this series by accident when browsing the good ol’ Barnes and Noble. When I read the back cover of Three Assassins and I knew I had to read it. After I started, I learned there were more books…

A Grief Observed Book Review
C.S Lewis has been a long standing favorite of mine. However, I have only really read excerpts of his works, apart from The Chronicles of Narnia. I love his history and his approach to writing. I love his intersections of religion and science and life. Despite only reading excerpts, I have collected a small portion…
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep Book Review
Welcome to our first book review of 2024! I am excited to review my favorite read from 2023 to introduce this year to many more book reviews. How can we be a book blog without the book reviews? There are books we put down, books we enjoy, and books we dislike. Some books we might…
The Magician’s Nephew Book Review
It wasn’t until my junior year of undergrad that I really fell in love with C.S Lewis’s writing. I was working for a family at the time and we’d often talk about books and authors we enjoyed.

After our short hiatus in blogging, I decided I needed to get back into the swing of reading. For some people, this can seem like a daunting task. (If you need help trying to get back into reading check out this post here.) For me, I find it’s easier to get back into reading starting…
All Hallows Book Review
Halloween is a time for spooks, eerie atmosphere, and fearful tension. While I am not one who lives without fear, I do enjoy a good spooky story. You might not find me at amusement park themed horror nights. However, you will find me curled up in bed with a horror book in my hand. I…
Bird Box Book Review
Have you ever watched a movie or a TV show to find out its based off a book? Only to find out after the fact and have the reading experience ruined for you. That almost happened to me with Bird Box but thankfully Netflix is getting better at advertising their book based movies and shows. …
A Man Called Ove Book Review
Have you ever wondered what a book about Carl Fredrickson from Up would be like? A grumpy, old man dedicating his life to stubborn pursuits forced out of his comfort zone to help those in need. Of course, with helpers along the way. This was the first comparison I made when I picked up A…
