Between the Pages

I am immensely behind. That's just a fact. I have read so many books over the past couple of months. As we all know, I have not reviewed them. But here's a review:  The Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan! SUMMARY Rebecca Porter isn't the fancy twin. She isn't the girly twin or the popular twin or the 'pretty' twin. Her sister Lacey is the one who should have all this. The one who should have this seemingly glamorous life. The one who should be in all the magazines and the topics of everyone's conversations. Nonetheless, Rebecca, Bex, found her prince charming. No really, she fell in love with Prince Nicholas, future King of England, when she found herself living down the hall from Nick at Oxford.  Dating Nick introduces Bex to a whole new world: one of lavish events, cocktail dresses, chasing Nick, his friends, and his charming brother Freddie around London, and learning to keep her legs together when getting out of cars to prevent unwanted paparaz...

 Hello readers! I have not posted in a while as you are all aware. Junior year is no joke. Between making time to read or making to post, I have chosen reading for the past month. I have not stopped reading/listening to audiobooks but I have not written a review in quite a while. I'm back! SUMMARY "Part The Westing Game , part We Were Liars , completely entertaining." -- Kirkus Reviews Avery lives out of her car. She is very close to her sister and is a top student, but has a strange life to an outsider looking in. With her mother dead and her father missing, Avery lives a complicated and hard, but routine life. One day Avery is barely making ends meet, the next she is on a plane to the Hawthorne House, the mansion and estate of Tobias Hawthorne the Texas billionaire. One day Avery doesn't have a house, the next she is the beneficiary of the late Tobias Hawthorne's fortune. The list of questions/'catches' is long. (1) Avery doesn't know and has never k...

Hello lovely readers! This week was my first week of school, so please excuse the lack of posts as of late. In Cold Blood by Truman Capote changed my life. I believe I posted on my story that if you did one thing, reader, just one thing for me (besides reading this blog) I want you to read this book.  SUMMARY In November of 1959, New Yorker Truman Capote read an article run by The New York Times . The story was of the Clutter family in Holcomb Kansas. "This is apparently the case of a psychopathic killer," said the Sheriff in Holcomb. Intrigued by the case, Capote impulsively traveled to Kansas with Harper Lee (yeah, that Harper Lee). Capote visited the site of the massacre. The massacre where an unknown killer or killers shot four members of the Clutter family, Herb, Bonnie, Nancy, and Kenyon, execution-style. In Cold Blood is the journey - Capote's whole journey. Remember the Clutter family.  REVIEW I simply love this book. I am a huge crime junkie and murderino. While ...

Hello everyone on this lovely day! I hope you all enjoyed my halfway recap. I have since finished three more books Just Mercy , It Ends With Us, and The Inheritance Games . That makes 26 books on the year! Sorry I have been MIA lately. Things are getting BUSY. Now, for the review of the first audiobook that I listened to on my recently acquired library card. (Yes, I know I know, I should have gotten a library card sooner. BUT, I have one now!) SUMMARY Charlotte and Jamie are back! (And I have never been happier!) Charlotte thought she was finished. She thought she could leave the Holmes family behind. The "Holmes Way" of sleuthing and hyper-attention is still as stuck to Charlotte as it was at Sherringford.  Charlotte and Jamie are both taking Oxford Summer Pre-college courses to get ready for their upcoming first semester in college. Just when their shot for a "normal" experience arrives, Charlotte (and by extension Jamie) gets asked to investigate a mystery in the...

 Oh, what a reading year 2021 has already been! I am so excited to share what I have read in 2021 thus far (whether I shared it on here with a review or on my Instagram or not!). I always enjoy seeing what others have read for two main reasons. The first being that I am genuinely interested in what books other readers gravitate towards in my favorite genres. And secondarily, I love organization and comprehensive reports on a lot of different topics. Readers' reading reports always hold a sense of such accomplishment. Please enjoy my stats as of today in the slides below!
