Finders Keepers had me from page one. It barely even had to flutter its skirts at me before I was hopelessly enamored of it. This probably says more about me than it does the book, but I think it also speaks well of the book. When King is on, he’s on, and with this one he delivers an engaging, tense, and yet emotionally affecting story. For me, it was a nearly perfect reading experience. I really liked Mr. Mercedes when I read it last year. I liked Retired […]
I Got On This Train Too
This review is for the audiobook version of The Girl On The Train. I’ve had mixed feelings about this book.

The ultimate popcorn-book. Is that a thing? It should be a thing.
I have an 80’s music playlist on Spotify. It is named “the greatest decade known to mankind”. This may have greatly influenced my review of Ready Player One. (And just like the book, my playlist is not religiously limited to the 80’s). I loved Ready Player One. I held it close, I stroked it, I stayed up all night to…read it. It is my soulmate, my dream, my future, my everything. Ahem. Sorry. It’s been awhile since I was truly excited about a book. So […]
