Book Review: The Shadow Glass by Josh Winning | A Love Letter to 80s Fantasy Nostalgia
Josh Winning’s The Shadow Glass wasn’t on my radar until a bookish friend of mine, Ven of Ven’s_Corner posted a review about it. He mentioned how the book had an 80s nostalgic feel to it because of the characters and storyline. ‘80s nostalgia’ seems to be a buzz phrase for me, so I took a chance and borrowed The Shadow Glass from my local library.

Book Review: Empty Vows by Mary Monroe | Tell the Truth, Lies Are Hard to Keep Track Of
Empty Vows is a continuation of the Lexington, Alabama series by Mary Monroe and immediately picks up after the events from the ending of Mrs. Wiggins.

I will, however, tell you how I felt about the characters, writing style, and pacing because the setting was the same.

Book Review: How to Be a Better Adult by Jacque Aye | This is Not a How To Guide, It’s a Journey
How to Be a Better Adult is a book that expresses most, if not all feelings that many people experience while navigating their work and personal lives. It’s a quick read with a relatable main character trying to make sense of adulthood. Truthfully, most of us reside in a similar headspace (lol).
