Phy-changeling series

This series by Nalini Singh is amazing. I had read the first book a couple years ago and decided to read the rest of the series. Over the last two months I binge read 14 books in this series. It is amazing! I will write more about my favorite books in this series!

Re-reading books

I have always been a reader who loves re-read books. I have different reasons for re-reading books. Like many readers sometimes it is nice to go back to a Gandalf story you know you love. You get so much out of reading a book again, facts and tidbits you may have missed on the last read. I find it can help me get out of a reading slump. Sometimes you just can 't shake those reading slumped but picking up a book you know you will like is always helpful. I also don't remember every detail of a book, so sometimes if I haven't read a series in awhile and the next book is out I will take another crack at the series to refresh my memory. I find a lot of value out of looking at a text more than once. 

Review: Paris Street Style: A Coloring Book

Paris Street Style: A Coloring Book by Zoé de Las Cases
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a really interesting coloring book. The cover is gorgeous and has an elastic strap to keep it shut. The pictures have a variety of images. You have people, designs, objects and scenery. So everyone will find parts of this book they will enjoy if they are picky. I really enjoyed the pictures that showed different types of clothes. This is an interesting choice if you are looking for something a little different. The point of the book is to look at Paris Street Style, so you are looking at fashion and people. I love this coloring book!

I received this book for free from blogging for books in exchange for a review.

Review: Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness

Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness by Susannah Cahalan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a very interesting read. This goes into her own battle with a mysterious and hard to ID disease. The audio book had a really good narrator. I liked her writing style and how she is honest with how she pieced together her story. If you are interested in medical non-fiction or memoir this is a great read.

Review: The Rogue Not Taken

The Rogue Not Taken by Sarah MacLean
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book. I am a sucker for carriage scenes and most of this book revolves around a trip by carriage. I loved the main characters. MacLean's writing is always so humorous and touching. Her titles are also so cleaver and truly go with her books. If you are looking for a fun romance this is a great choice.

Review: Into the Wild

Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. I had heard such great things about this book and it has been on my shelf for awhile now. I liked how Krakauer also brought other examples in to help us understand the motivations of Chris and why he did what he did. The author makes comparisons to other people who met similar fates as well as himself. The interviews with his family and friends also help paint a picture of the young man and how he chose to live his life. I highly recommend this book. It is a really quick read.

Review: Spark Joy: An Illustrated Master Class on the Art of Organizing and Tidying Up

Spark Joy: An Illustrated Master Class on the Art of Organizing and Tidying Up by Marie Kondō
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I though this was a good companion book to her first book. It went into a little more detail about tidying and goes into more detail on what to do after you have tidied and now need to store your belongings. It has illustrations to help you with folding different clothing and that was a huge help. She also gives some great ideas on what to use for storage without buying a bunch of storage supplies.

Review: In the Spinster's Bed

In the Spinster's Bed by Sally MacKenzie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this novella. This is a prequel to her new series. I read the first book What to Do With a Duke last year and loved it. I felt reading that first, I got more out of this novella because I was familiar with the village and I already knew the premise from the other book. But it is a cute read if you haven't read the first book or would want to start there then move on. I loved the characters. I thought they were both great, since it is a novella there wasn't a ton of character development. It was a well paced novella as well. I highly recommend this book.
