Sadly, I am here to report that Guillermo has Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma, a cancerous tumor behind his front canine tooth. In the midst of the CoronaVirus, it has been extremely difficult to find anyone to treat Guillermo. But I have been informed that it is urgent and the longer we wait, the more likely…

Sadly, I’ll Be Back…
I am so sad to say this, but I’ll be taking a bit of break from blogging for an undetermined amount of time. I don’t mean to dish all of my hardships and feelings onto here, since this is a book blog and not my diary, but I am so worried and concerned that it…

Terror Tuesday | The Forest (2016)
Hey, y’all! And welcome to my very first installment of Terror Tuesday! Here’s the deal, baby seal. Currently, I work full time, record and edit 2 podcasts, and I am reading one book a week. I wish I could read more, but unfortunately I am not a robot or a stay at home housewife. (Somewhere…

Final Girls | Riley Sager | Book Review
The first Riley Sager book I read was Lock Every Door, so I appear to be reading his novels all out of order! And you know what? That’s fine by me! I could be wrong, but I feel like if you become a fan of an author because of their first book, you are bound…

The Silent Patient |Alex Michaelides | Book Review
I kept seeing this book everywhere I turned! The Silent Patient has a stunning cover that you won’t easily forget, however, as the saying goes… something about a cover and some judgement, or whatever. I listened to this one on audio book and finished it within a day or two. I will also note that…

The Hunting Party | Lucy Foley | Book Review
Don’t you just love a good old fashion “who done it?” My friends are forever irritated by my desperate complaining to take part in a murder mystery dinner, which I’ll finally be achieving soon thanks to my 30th birthday, but it’s just such a fun concept! The Hunting Party, at a glance, seemed to have…

Ninth House | Leigh Bardugo |Book Review
My favorite television show in the entire world is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. If you ask me, there was never a show before or after that has managed to capture the essence of what Joss Whedon brought to Buffy. In my eyes, it is the perfect show. (Except for Dawn’s dumb ass and anything that…

Commune | Stephen Chadbourne | Book Review
Stephen Chadbourne reached out to me about a book he recently wrote, called Commune. He sent me a free copy of it in exchange for an honest review. When he told me the plot, I prioritized reading this immediately! Nothing is more fascinating to me than cults. I know that might seem a little weird,…
