I like books, but I'm SUPER picky about them. To clarify- a three star rating means that I liked the book and found nothing objectionable in it. As 3 is the average between 1 and 5 this means the book is an average read, perfectly competent but not outstanding.

Isn’t that just like a man?

September 1, 2016 by melanir 9 Comments

Anne’s House of Dreams is probably my least favorite in this series. I can’t give it more than three stars; if I’m 100% honest, and it wasn’t an Anne book, I’d probably bump it down to two stars. This is the most self-indulgent book of the series, and there are very few gems in the cast of characters. Plus, and this is completely silly I acknowledge, “the race that knows Joseph” doesn’t have the same ring as “kindred spirits”. So here we are, Anne is 25 […]

But I believe I rather like superstitious people. They lend color to life.

And we return to the Anne books with the fourth chronological novel, but the second to last one written and published. I actually got quite curious about the publishing history of this novel and so I did a bit of research and now I’m completely fascinated. There are all these tidbits of information, which have very to do with the book’s content but are just so interesting. Also of note, unlike the previous three books, I have only read this particular one a handful of times. […]

Reservations were supposed to be Prisons

August 23, 2016 by melanir Leave a Comment

This is a quick read, but no less powerful for the ease in which I read it. I had read the book previously, but when it was an option for our group read I will admit that I voted for it. I think it’s one of the more important books to come out in recent years. This book hits me pretty hard and is kind of difficult to talk about, but this is my attempt to do so. The first time I read this novel, I […]

Anne Goes to College

August 22, 2016 by melanir Leave a Comment

Once again, this is a book I have read and re-read countless times, with one caveat which I will explain further below.  This is the third chronological book in this series and follows Anne through her time in college. It, like all the Anne books is a book I turn to when I need a comfortable read. Like most of the Anne books, there isn’t really much of plot for the book it is instead a series of interconnected stories that slip through the years […]
