Stars: 3 ⭐️ Why: I feel like the foundation of this book was great. There was a lot of aspects of this book that I liked. But the ending of this book fell completely flat for me. I found myself wondering if that was really what the whole book was building to. It was like waiting for the shoe to d

I bought this book over a year ago, and tried to read it not long after. It encompasses some of my favorite themes in a book: Horror, native culture, psychological mind games, etc. Y’all. I made it like 5 pages in and could not bring myself to keep going. I have a rule, as a reader who cringes at

Publication date: August 6th, 2024 ✨ No Spoilers ✨ I usually pride myself in my detective abilities when it comes to mysteries. But, this book kept me guessing. It is seriously deceptive. The ending left me entirely shook. That being said, something about this book didn’t entirely click for me

Publishing date: November 19th, 2024 🎉 I’d like to start off by saying I was pleasantly shocked by how great this debut novel was. This novel was engaging and wonderfully written while shedding light on social justice issues happening in Hawaii such as colonization, ecological destruction, endan

✨ No spoilers because I hate when people ruin books for others ✨ General overview: Adrienne gets bequeathed a house which is seemingly an answer to her prayers, but once she moves in she begins to learn about the dark history surrounding the house. Odd occurrences begin building in frequency as

Publication Date: September 10th, 2024 ✨No Spoilers✨ I was so excited for this. I just finished T.J. Klune’s The House in the Cerulean Sea last night in preparation for reading this ARC. Imagine my disappointment when I got to the end of chapter four and realized it was only an excerpt. 🥲

Night time is my favorite time to read. It helps me to wind down from my stressful day, and provides me with an opportunity to walk in someone else’s shoes for a little while. My overall favorite part though, is the absolute quiet. I find it really hard to read with noises and distractions. Did

Is there anything better than a chocolate danish from Old Mimosa Bakery & Sandwich , 30 minutes of quiet in an air conditioned car, and a good book? Can’t think of anything? No? It’s settled. This is what my self care looks like, what’s yours look like? Let me know below ⬇️ #currentlyread

Publication Date: May 7th, 2024 ✨No Spoilers✨ This is a book that kept me on the edge of my seat. I was skeptical because of the lower page count (270), but the there were times where I was almost literally stressed out and biting my nails. My favorite aspect of the book was the mystery of it,

I’m 307 pages in and every time I open this book I’m swept away into the creepy little town dubbed Mill Grove. This book definitely gives spooky vibes and there are times when I’m reading late at night that I decide I should close it, not that it’s overly scary, but I want to get my brain in the ri

I went to go get a library card today (we moved to a new town and I thought it was time to check it out) and when I got there, they had a book sale! $3 for hardcovers, $1 for paperbacks. I didn’t have a lot of time to actually search through, so I’m definitely going back, but this is what I got tod

I had to FORCE myself to finish this book to keep me from hitting a slump. It wasn’t terrible, but I think this book could have been condensed, as a lot of this book felt repetitive and redundant. There was also a character whose entire personality was being racist that I felt like didn’t contribut

I’m only six chapters in, but so far this book is great! I’m so glad I picked this one up. It’s not in my usual genre, which is why it can be important to branch out. Has anyone read this book? ⚠️ Without spoilers, share your thoughts ⬇️ Edit: I finished this in one day, I literally could not

No spoilers 😊 A Touch of Darkness was everything I hoped it would be. Very fast paced, spicy, a deep intense forbidden love, and very reminiscent of Lore Olympus. Greek mythology retelling in contemporary times. I throughly enjoyed this book. A Game of Fate is essentially the same story line, on

Book: Under The Whispering Door ⚠️ This is your last chance to back out, I will reference the ending of the book in this post. I hate spoilers, so this is your warning ⚠️ I LOVED this book - Almost. This book had crazy cozy vibes. I could see myself spending a rainy afternoon in Charon’s

Every aspect of my life is motherhood. I love my kids with my entire heart and soul, and I live for them everyday. But it’s nice to have a space where I can reclaim my own identity outside being a mom and a wife and connect with other women. Before Lemon8, the only place I had like this was the sal
