TJ Klune can do no wrong if you ask me. His characters, his beautiful dialogue and his giant, incredible heart. I am so grateful for stories like these.

Review: The Life Impossible

The Life Impossible
The Life Impossible by Matt Haig
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoy Haig’s writing and his ideas are always so creative. This book was much slower moving for me and it also was more unusual than his other ones but underneath it all, it’s still magical, touching and beautiful like all his stories are.

Review: Echoes of Memory

Echoes of Memory
Echoes of Memory by Sara Driscoll
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I liked the concept of this and while I totally didn’t guess the ending even though i kept thinking i would (because it wasn’t super twisty like so many books seem to be now) I think the pacing threw me off as a result. But nonetheless the characters were interesting and i enjoyed all the memory bits.

Review: Embracing Hope: On Freedom, Responsibility & the Meaning of Life

Embracing Hope: On Freedom, Responsibility & the Meaning of Life
Embracing Hope: On Freedom, Responsibility & the Meaning of Life by Viktor E. Frankl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a collection of Frankl’s speeches and lectures. For me, it’s a must read. In fact, it’s the kind of book I need to read once a year to make sure I remember what matters most in life.

Review: The Trees

The Trees
The Trees by Percival Everett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This might be my favorite read of 2024! This book manages to be both laugh out loud funny and deeply devastating at the same time. Everett’s characters are so funny, so well done and his dialogue is unparalleled. If, like me, you still haven’t read this, i cannot recommend it enough.

Review: All Fours

All Fours
All Fours by Miranda July
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ok giving this book 4 stars if for nothing else, for staying in my head for so long. I started this book a long time ago but then I had to put it down because I wasn’t sure I liked it. There’s so little of this book that feels relatable to me. I don’t usually like books that make a point by being really out there and I think this one absolutely does that and it was just a turn off for me. But I thought it got better as it went on (even though also more out there) and I found myself thinking about it long after I was done.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love David Ellis’ stories. I like the pacing, I like the twists in his stories, I like the mystery. If you like mysteries, he will not disappoint.
