BOOK CHALLENGE 10 OF 24: The Great Alone

August 20, 2018Leave a comment

I began reading this book thinking it was going to be just like Kristin Hannah’s The Nightingale. I was very surprised when I was not on the edge of my seat, eager to turn the page to see what would happen next. That said, when I turned the final page of The Great Alone and … Continue reading BOOK CHALLENGE 10 OF 24: The Great Alone

Book Challenge 9 of 24: Mastery

April 11, 2018April 11, 2018Leave a comment

George Leonard’s the Mastery, gives an answer to the question of, “How do I master my craft?” Although this might seem like a complex question, Leonard provides a relatively simple answer. The key to mastering anything is to practice for the sake of practice. When one focuses too closely on the end goal, one may … Continue reading Book Challenge 9 of 24: Mastery

Book Challenge 8 of 24: The Last Mrs. Parrish

March 8, 2018Leave a comment

Predictable. I feel like I don’t have to write a post about this because predictable just about sums it up. That said, I will regardless. Liv Constantine’s The Last Mrs. Parrish is a story of a young, 20 something trying who recently moved to Connecticut in hopes to score a rich husband. She has a … Continue reading Book Challenge 8 of 24: The Last Mrs. Parrish

Book Challenge 7 of 24: Practical Magic

February 11, 2018February 11, 2018Leave a comment

Novel vs. Movie vs. Prequel I had very high hopes for Practical Magic. Too high, in fact. As a lover of the fantasy world of magic, the film, Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, and more recently The Rules of Magic I figured the book Practical Magic would be just as lovely. Unfortunately, in my opinion, it … Continue reading Book Challenge 7 of 24: Practical Magic

Do you love reading fantasy fiction?  Personally, I grow up watching Buffy, Angle and in turn I developed a love and curiously for the unknown wold of magic. I stumbled upon the film Practical Magic at a young age. I was entranced by the whimsical tone, the sisterly bond and above all, the magic. As … Continue reading Book Challenge 6 of 24: The Rules of Magic

Book challenge 5 of 24: The Handmaids Tail

November 17, 2017November 14, 2017Leave a comment

The Book vs. The Silver Screen I have never really had a problem watching a film based on the book and then reading the book or vice versa. I know book lovers out there will claim that the book is always better, examples being Harry Potter, Girl on a Train, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, … Continue reading Book challenge 5 of 24: The Handmaids Tail

4 of 24 Book challenge: Into the Water

October 26, 2017October 26, 2017Leave a comment

A chapter in and I was hooked. Like Girl on a Train the suspense got to me. With each turn of the page, I was trying my best to piece the puzzle together and with every turn I ended up wrong. Paula Hawkins, really has a niche for creating character with such depth, but also … Continue reading 4 of 24 Book challenge: Into the Water
