The Really Dead Wives of New Jersey
I don’t watch a ton of reality television. I just didn’t grow up watching it and so it’s just not something I think to watch as an adult. The only shows I tend to watch are the Bachelor (when we have girl’s night), Design and Home shows, Big Brother (because my husband’s family are die…

The Ministry of Time
Unpopular opinion alert: I don’t understand the hype around this book. Having nothing to do with the Spanish series of the same name (the title and time travel are literally the only similarities) the genre mash-up of time-travel, historical fiction, and romance is unique to say the least.

Rouge
I LOVED Mona Awad’s Bunny. It was one of the weirdest, fever dream inducing books I’ve ever read. I had such high hopes for Rouge and I’m not sure it really did it for me. This modern gothic loose retelling of Snow White, has everything in it. Cults, a magic mirror, roses, magic, confusion, desires,…
Shark Heart
What a weird and absolutely lovely story. Based on the description alone, I had my doubts I would enjoy this book. But a few other readers I trust said they loved this story, so I decided to give it a chance. Shark Heart follows Lewis and his wife, Wren, as they navigate Lewis’ transformation into…
