Everyone in My Family Pearl Has Killed Someone

Welcome back, friends! This month has finally been a little more chill for me. I put on an event for my work at the start of the month and just celebrated my 29th birthday last week, so it’s been fun! I’ve also read 4 books this month and am sitting at 34 books read for the year. And if you’re keeping track, that’s 10 more than my original goal of 24 and 2 less than my refigured goal of 36. But the book we’re focusing on this month is…

Klara and the [Italian] Sun

Welcome back! It’s been awhile, but we’re here now. It’s been an interesting few weeks for me with taking extra time between posts and restrictions being tightened again. And, while I don’t love not being able to work (except private lessons), I have taken the time to go camping and try to get some extra reading in. Although, I am still in a bit of a reading rut so didn’t get too much done, honestly! Oh well, at least I stayed on track this time. On that note, this week I am reviewing…

The Vanishing Half and Half

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays and happy last post of the year! I, like most people, am excited for this year to come to an end. Until then, I’m excited for Christmas even though I won’t get to do what I normally do or see my family. But I’m hoping that’ll just make next year even more special. Anyways, for my final review of the year I have chosen to do Indigo’s top book of the year and Goodreads’ top historical fiction book of the year…

Schwab’s latest novel, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. I absolutely love V.E. Schwab’s Shades of Magic trilogy, so I have really been looking forward to this novel. For my accompanying drink…
