Can white people write about slavery? – A discussion of Sue Monk Kidd’s “The Invention of Wings”
I just finished reading The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd. This book was actually suggested by the book club I am in, and so I started to read it without much knowledge of the author or the real story of the Grimké sisters, Sarah and Angelina. To be honest, I was not even … Continue reading

A Review of “The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared”
Jonas Jonasson’s new book, The Girl Who save the Swedish King was released in April 2014. His book, The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared was turned into a major motion picture and has become an international success.

It begins with snow: A Review of Kate Atkinson’s ‘Life After Life’
Life After Life has been talked about a lot since its release in 2013. It is indeed a bold step for author Kate Atkinson, although, I believe it is one that has paid off. The book follows the life/lives of Ursula from her birth on February 10th, 1910. When I first saw the book, without … Continue reading

An Ode to Tina Fey’s memoir “Bossypants”: the moment I knew I was never going to be cool…
I just finished reading Tina Fey’s, Bossypants. The book is amazing. I laughed so much the whole way through, and it made me love Tina Fey that little bit more. Her book not only has reflections about her career in comedy and her show 30 Rock, but it also has stories and moments in her … Continue reading
A Review of “The Gospel of Loki”: the unofficial history of the world’s ultimate trickster
I feel like I have been waiting a long time for a book like this to be written. With all of the Avengers and Thor movies that are out, not to mention a growing fan base for Loki and actor Tom Hiddleston, this book was perfectly timed. And well written. There is a lot that … Continue reading
A Review of Shalom Auslander’s novel, “Hope: A Tragedy”
The book was first published in 2012, but I didn’t actually start reading it until recently. It was one of those books that sat on my bookshelf collecting dust. Even though I don’t believe in fate, I still think that somehow this book was waiting for the right moment to catch my attention. Eventually that … Continue reading
Back off Lula, Kevin is my BFF: a review of “Takedown Twenty” by Janet Evanovich
I’ve been reading Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series since I was in year 11. We were studying crime fiction and my English teacher recommended ‘One for the Money’ as something different, fun, and feminine. Needless to say, I was hooked and have been reading her books obsessively ever since. I’ve always been a huge fan of … Continue reading
