The Stephen King Project

Hello, it’s been a while! I am taking a break from reading as I am 48 books over my 200 reading goal for the year and just taking some time to organize my tbr and just let my mind take a break. However, once I come back from this break, I’ve decided to delve into Stephen King hardcore. My plan is to read all of kings works back to back in suggested reading order, which happens to be publication…

Book Review: I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 out of 5) Review: *I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review* Raw. Emotional. Funny. Shocking. Eye-Opening. Must Read. With this being a memoir, I do not feel a normal review is needed, as I implore you to read this book to get its full impact. I will say that I stayed up all night reading this book. The emotions I felt were tremendous. The…

Book Review: Frightmares by Eva V. Gibson

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review: *I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review* Frightmares was your run of the mill YA thriller. I am not going to call it horror because I got no horror from this book. The book being grouped within the horror genre and the cover unfortunately gave me false hope. Now, I will say, it’s a decent YA thriller. Was is something new? Not really. Did I…

Book Review: Goliath Fallen by A. C. Louis

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 out of 5 stars) Review: *I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review* Invasion of the Body Snatchers meets Illuminae and The Walking Dead. Goliath Fallen is a rollercoaster of action and emotions. The two main characters, Nate and his daughter Izzy, are both surviving on a ship after an alien invasion decimates most of the humans aboard. That not bad…

Update and Book Review: Aurora Rising Series by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff

I’m back! Just a little life update, been dealing with a lot this year and just didn’t have time to post any reviews. However, I am going to try to do so again!

Overall Series Rating: 🚀🚀🚀🚀 (4 out of 5 rockets) Review: Yes, I…

Book Review: The Witching Elm by C.N. Crawford

Rating: ⭐️ (1 out of 5 stars) Review: There’s not too much to say about this book other than it was the most bleh generic book I’ve read in a long time. It’s as if the author just google witchcraft and wrote a book based on the first few articles they saw. This book has every YA witch book trope but done badly. I was so bored while reading this and all of the characters were so bland and…

Book Review: Dawn of Procyon by Mark R. Healy

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 out of 5 stars) Review: Dawn of Procyon is a fast paced, page turner about a mans survival and a woman who has to figure out where she stands with her morals. I swear, I couldn’t stop reading this book! Every time I would finish a chapter I would say I was done but end up reading more because it just keeps you on your toes. This is a very easily digestible science fiction…

Graphic Novel Review: Quantum Mechanics by Jeff Weigel

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 out of 5 stars) Review: So I usually do not do reviews of graphic novels on my blog, however I think I’m going to start if I find a hidden gem that I think needs more recognition. Quantum Mechanics is just that. I probably would have never picked this book but I was doing a reading challenge where I had to read a book that started with the letter “Q.” And I am very happy…

Book Review: The Hobbit, or There and Back Again by J. R. R. Tolkien

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3 out of 5 stars) Review: Yes, this is the first time reading this book and I have not seen the movie! I enjoyed this book and had fun with it however, I did not like all of it. I really loved the story and atmospheric setting the book brings and I’m always down for a good fantasy journey. Now, I did not really like any of the main characters. I thought the dwarves were rather…

Book Review: Final Girls by Riley Sager

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3 out of 5 stars) Review: One thing I can say about this book, is that it keeps you guessing! Final Girls was a decent thriller, however it just wasn’t what I was expecting (partially because I did not read the synopsis as I feel they usually give away too much when it comes to thrillers). I really enjoyed a little over half of this book. The beginning was intriguing and then it…

Book Review: Monster Hunter International by Larry Correia

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3 out of 5 stars) Review: Monster Hunter International was a fun read with great action and of course, monsters! I do think this was a solid start to a series and sets everything up for future books. I really enjoyed the beginning and the ending, however there were a few lulls for me in the middle. It got to be a little repetitive at times and there was also a lot of gun talk,…

Book Review: The Association by Bentley Little

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3 out of 5 stars) Review: Bentley Little is one of my favorite horror writers and I’m slowly working on reading all of his work. The Association is basically about a evil home owners association that does whatever it takes to enforce their extremely ridiculous rules. I will say that using something as normal as home owners association and turning it into something scary, is very…

Book Review: The Shining by Stephen King

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3 out of 5 stars) Review: So I had very high expectations of this book due to its cult classic following and supposedly scary as hell storyline, and I was pretty disappointed. First off, let me start by saying I haven’t actually ever seen the movie but I know the most iconic scenes and quotes and maybe 1 of them was in this book. I knew that King hates the movie because of how…

Book Review: Holes in the Ground by J. A. Konrath and Iain Rob Wright

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 out of 5 stars) Review: “Cabin in the Woods if written by Dan Brown” Holes in the Ground is a sequel to Origin, and does the first book so much justice. I started and finished this book in one sitting because of how good it is. The 2 things Konrath/Wright are amazing at; Horror and Action. Every. Single. Page kept you wanting more. There are a good bit of new characters…

Book Review: Full Throttle by Joe Hill

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 out of 5 stars) Review: It is not very often that I real a short story collection, and like more than half of the stories. Within this collection, I only disliked 2! I found myself gasping, making noises of disgust, and much more out loud while reading these. I also want to note that the last story in this collection, has me disturbed so much because it’s one of my biggest…

Book Review: A Feast of Crows by George R. R. Martin

Rating: ⭐️⭐️ (2 out of 5 stars) Review: Sadly, I was very disappointed in this book due to its lack of interest and adding a lot of new characters that I did not care for and just seemed very random. These new characters also took away from spending time on the main characters that we know and love. I mean, I think Dany got maybe 1-2 chapters in this book! This book is mostly focused on the…
