Fairy Tale by Stephen King
This isn't my typical genre but Fairy Tale by Stephen King was worth the read. I think it could have been 100-200 pages shorter, but still a classic King read. Charlie Reade is a typical teenage boy who is living with his father, as his mother died when he was younger. He is a baseball and… Continue reading Fairy Tale by Stephen King
The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
This book was on my TBR for MANY years before finally this was a pick for book club! This one has an interesting premise. This was very much like a gothic Jane Eyre meets Rebecca. I honestly think reading what this is about might not be the best. It might be best to go into… Continue reading The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield

It’s a Date – Again by Jeneva Rose
This is my first experience with Jeneva Rose and I was not disappointed. It's a Date again was a laugh out loud type of book that can't be taken too seriously.

Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer
This was a book I chose because of booktok. This was Hannah Nicole Maehrer's debut and I think she did a great job. This is The Office with a mix of Warm Bodies. I really did enjoy this one more than I thought I would. ASSISTANT WANTED: Notorious, high-ranking villain seeks loyal, levelheaded assistant for unspecified… Continue reading Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer
