Tom Lake
Storyline: 2 Stars This was not the book for me. For one, it was incredibly slow. I thought it was going to be a heartwarming book about past and present and younger and older people, but instead it was an incredibly boring story, and when things really did happen, they made me roll my eyes.… Read more

Book Lovers
Storyline: 2 Stars I tried to give Emily Henry a shot. Maybe this was not the best book to start with, but I was unimpressed. I am trying to branch out and read across all the genres, including romantic comedy, but I was not impressed with this book. The characters were mostly selfish and annoying,… Read more

The Boys in the Boat
Storyline: 5 Stars This was a great nonfiction book about an incredible story in the famous Berlin 1936 Olympics. I think anyone could enjoy this book. It gave a lot of context for what was happening around the world during that time, even in Germany. I really appreciated the context and I think those that… Read more

Lessons in Chemistry
Storyline: 3 Stars I was hoping for more, or maybe I was hoping for less. This book has been so popular and had so many good reviews, but I was disappointed.

The Women
Storyline: 5 Stars Vietnam. I have only read a few Vietnam books, and I have loved them all. There are so many books about the world wars, which of course are of great importance, but I think that there is so much unknown about Vietnam for the regular citizens. I am always heartbroken when I… Read more

The Silent Patient
Storyline: 3 Stars I have been reading more thrillers lately, a book genre that I have not explored much. I think I am starting to become more fond of the genre, but maybe it is because I am reading the ones that I have seen have good reviews. Anyway, The Silent Patient is intriguing because… Read more

Divine Rivals
Storyline: 4 Stars I knew that the Letters of Enchantment Duology was a fantasy, but I was not prepared for this type of fantasy. The world was different than other fantasy books that I have read. There was still advanced technology with the fantasy, and I appreciated that. It was a fresh take on fantasy… Read more

The Seven Year Slip
The Safe Pages Rating Romance The book is a romance, so it is not surprising that there is romantic content. There were two scenes that were intimate, about a page each, that I had to skip over because of the graphic content. The scenes seemed out of place because the rest of the book was… Read more

The Four Winds
The Safe Pages Rating Romance In the beginning of the book there were a couple short scenes of intimacy between a couple. It was not graphic and was a few sentences without any details, but they were scenes that I skipped over. Additionally, there is one scene later in the book where intimacy is implied,… Read more
