Review: Life After Life

Life After Life Life After Life by Kate Atkinson
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

So, maybe reading a book about repeating your life up until the point you reach your predestined purpose for said life wasn't such a great idea when you hate repetition as much as I do.

The prose is quite lyrical and I think there is a lot to be explored with the overarching theme of your life - anyone's life - having a purpose and how we, not only find that purpose, but accomplish it. It just took Ursula (and me) too long to get there.

Together, they set out to alternately annoy and bore the shit out of me, as it was also her superpower; and solve a murder that I, myself, solved before 40% of the book had been read. Unfortunately, they survived to annoy and angst me into...

Review: The Ruin of a Rake

The Ruin of a Rake by Cat Sebastian My rating: 5 of 5 stars Just...perfection. I'm so happy that I stumbled across this trilogy; they were each a perfect blend of romance, emotion, and humor. I found myself lost in each character and actively rooting for their happiness. All good things must come to an end, but *happy, contented sigh* ... View all my reviews
