5 Pretzels. Hey, gang, it’s been a minute. I haven’t blogged in a minute, but not following your own arbitrary blog schedule is not a crime. I know that because I just finished taking a law class. Finished yesterday, as a matter of fact. Let’s get into this blog, shall we? For book club thisContinue reading “Cameron Post: A Review”

At the Water’s Edge: A Review
2 Pretzels At the Water’s Edge, Sara Gruen Hey, Fort Smithians, Smoky Lynx here, and I have the most unimportant news ever. I read a book about privileged rich kids and, boy, was it only mildly entertaining. While the book opens with a scene set in Scotland, a woman who has just lost her child gettingContinue reading “At the Water’s Edge: A Review”
What in God’s Name: The 2020 Story
I’m just kidding. It’s a book about Heaven, Inc. 4 Pretzels. Look, this book has gotten a bad rap on Goodreads, and I just don’t get it. It’s clever, light-hearted, and funny.

Nothing to See Here: A Review
“Why didn’t we act like normal people instead of huddling in the stacks, our bodies shiny with fire gel?” – Nothing to See Here, Kevin Wilson For a book that is, at its core, about abandoned children, this book is hysterical. The dialogue, the prose, all of it.

They spendContinue reading “Before We Were Yours: A Review”
The Family Upstairs…is Actually a Cult
This book is full of twists and turns, conflicting stories, and belladonna. Read it. You won’t be disappointed. Unless you just love super boring books that aren’t at all about cults.
Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore: A Review
Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore is a fun, creative mystery with one banger of a reveal by Matthew Sullivan.
Middlesex: A Review
This book is not about the English countryside. Apparently there was a lot of miscommunication about that on Goodreads. I mean, you should read it regardless, but just now it doesn’t look like the set of the Great British Baking Show.
Book Review: Needful Things
Castle Rock, Maine is a quaint little town full of lovely people where nothing bad ever happens. It is basically the town from Gilmore Girls. I’m kidding. Though it has a Stars Hollow vibe, Castle Rock has a level of creepy that SH just never achieved.
Book Review: The Chain
The book begins with a kidnapping. Young Kylie is taken from the bus stop by a couple who seem to hate themselves for what they’re doing, but will also do anything to get their child back. It’s a conundrum.
