The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

Pages: 288


I have been wanting to read this book since it came out. I finally got around to it. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint.

As someone who finds herself regretting a lot of my life choices but learning that they are what shaped me. This book was interesting to read. We all have regrets, but what if we did them differently? What if we chased that individual across states just to be with them. What if we took that job over seas. What if you followed that dream you had since you were a teen. Who would you be, and would you even regret those things once you saw how everything would have played out. 

That is the question Nora Seed gets to find out about herself. She chose to stop living, just to be able to end up in the Midnight Library. Opening each book of regrets to see what would have been the life she chose. 

It is a really interesting read because we can't go back in time but we always wonder and sometimes it is nice to have those things answered.

  The Obsession by Jesse Q. Sutanto Pages: 320   This book was okay. I didn't hate it. Didn't love it.  It was very predictable as things unfolded, which as a thriller that might have been what made me feel neutral about it.  Delilah has been controlled by sketchy men her whole life, until she takes things into her own hands.  Logan is infatuated with Delilah. He will do anything to maintain having her in his life.  I feel for Delilah because even after taking control of her life, she still is a magnet for sketchy men. She just wants what every other girl wants. A normal happy relationship. Which she thought she had with Logan.  Logan, this guy is a walking red flag. Yet on the other hand if he wasn't so creepy and intense he might have had things play out the way he wanted. Instead he hid cameras around Delilah's life. He blackmailed, and in his mind things had progressed way faster than on her end.

The Testing - Joelle Charbonneau

  The Testing - Joelle Charbonneau The front of the book has a review claiming that all fans of The Hunger Game will simply devour.  That review was pretty spot on, at least in my case.  I ate every word written until I found myself at the end.  I even bounced between the book and audio because I could not get enough.  Maybe because it was so much like The Hunger Games.  The transportation method  was very similar.  The testing students seeing the different cities and classes as they traveled.  Being sent to an unknown location to fight it out to the end.  They may have had more people coming out alive, versus The Hunger Games but it was pretty similar.   And don't even get me started on how badly I wanted Cia to react during the officials watching her be tested like Katniss did.  With all that I still loved it.  I rooted for Cia to cross that finish line.  I swooned when Michael was proud of her for finding the ...

  Sunday Supper by K. Sinko Pages : 321 It is December so I can officially call it, this was my favorite book I have read this year.  So much that I initially read this on Kindle, and then had to buy a physical copy because I needed it in my own library. For starters this book felt like I was reading a hallmark movie. It is also based in NY and I have a romanticized version of NY in my mind, which this book captured perfectly. Bella's family was very relatable and I kind of wanted her grandmother to adopt me into the family.  The story starts off with Bella. A girl who just lost everything, and learns that her family has a little secret of there own. A Uncle who owns a lot of restaurant's, she has not known about till now. In the hunt for a connection with her long lost Uncle, she meets a chef. That starts a flirtatious relationship over his deconstructed meatballs and her Nona's recipe.  This book is perfect for a cozy rainy day read. You will end up happy for the c...
