The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins
Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins
Either of these books could count for the Justice square, but I'm putting Ballad on "Justice," and Sunrise on "And," because it's the second of the prequels. I didn't read these books when they were first released because The Hunger Games was the perfect trilogy, and it shattered me so hard I … [Read more]
How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying by Django Wexler

Courageous Cowgirls: Women Who Rode the Trails, Ran Ranches, and Raced in Rodeos by Sue Young and Katie Howerton

In Courageous Cowgirls: Women Who Rode the Trails, Ran … [Read more]

It dragged painfully throughout the book. The body horror didn't bother me that much, I thought that I had read other books … [Read more]
Just the Nicest Couple by Mary Kubica
Going to keep this one short and sweet. This was not a great mystery. I found myself realizing what was going on and who probably did it a good 15 percent into the book. I hoped I was wrong, was not, and felt aggravated by that and the lackluster characters too. I soothed myself by re-reading A … [Read more]
Tell No One by Harlan Coben
Bingo: You, as in me, who is desultorily dragging her way through yet another mediocre thriller. As I mentioned in my last review, I decided to break up my more mind chewy reads and go on a streak of thrillers and mysteries. So far, the mysteries are panning out fine. Unfortunately, my eyes grow … [Read more]
