Defiance by C.J. Redwine

December 7, 2018 Saralisa H.

Defiance by C. J. Redwine is a fast-paced book set in a post-apocalyptic world.  While I enjoyed the action-packed story, I wish we had gotten a bit more detail in places. While the other girls in the walled city-state of Baalboden learn to sew and dance, Rachel Adams learns to track and hunt. While they… Continue reading Defiance by C.J. Redwine

Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng

November 18, 2018 Saralisa H.

My book club chose to read Everything I Never Told You for our book club meeting in November.  The book follows the lives of the Lee family after the death of their daughter/sibling Lydia.  While it was well-written and thought-provoking, it wasn’t in my usual genre, so I didn’t enjoy it as much as others… Continue reading Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng

The Lord of Stariel by A.J. Lancaster

November 12, 2018 Saralisa H.

I received an advance copy of this book from NetGalley.  This in no way affects my opinions given in this review. The Lord of Stariel is the first in a steampunk fantasy quartet by AJ Lancaster.  It has magic and fairies and a great cast of characters. The Lord of Stariel is dead. Long live… Continue reading The Lord of Stariel by A.J. Lancaster

Unwind by Neal Shusterman

October 20, 2018 Saralisa H.

My book club chose this book for our October read.  While everyone enjoyed it for the most part, we all agreed that there were some world-building issues. Connor, Risa, and Lev are running for their lives. The Second Civil War was fought over reproductive rights. The chilling resolution: Life is inviolable from the moment of… Continue reading Unwind by Neal Shusterman

Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard

There's something strange and deadly loose in Philadelphia. . . . Eleanor Fitt has a lot to worry about. Her brother has gone missing, her family… Continue reading Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard

I recently finished reading this book, and really enjoyed it!  My friend recommended it to me and let me borrow his copy. I wasn’t sure at first if I would like this book, but I have to say, it grew on me! From the creators of the wildly popular Welcome to Night Vale podcast comes… Continue reading Welcome to Night Vale by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cronor

An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson

September 9, 2018September 9, 2018 Saralisa H.

An Enchantment of Ravens was a beautifully written book that kept my attention from start to finish! Isobel is a prodigy portrait artist with a dangerous set of clients: the sinister fair folk, immortal creatures who cannot bake bread, weave cloth, or put a pen to paper without crumbling to dust. They crave human Craft… Continue reading An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson

Far Far Away by Tom McNeal

September 1, 2018 Saralisa H.

  My book club chose to read Far Far Away by Tom McNeal last month.  It was a good book that reminded me of a fairy tale, but had some aspects that kept me from really loving it.  First, a synopsis: It says quite a lot about Jeremy Johnson Johnson that the strangest thing about him… Continue reading Far Far Away by Tom McNeal

About Me

Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Saralisa, and I am a 27-year-old bookaholic. I love animals of all shapes and sizes, the colors purple and blue, and I can crochet most anything, too. If there’s one thing I love more than reading books, it’s discussing books! That’s why I decided to start a book club in my home town in Nebraska. It’s been running successfully since 2015, so I must be doing something right!
