To be upfront, I thought there would be a lot more action in this story. I never read it in school, so coming at it as an adult was intriguing. That being said, I was not let down. Verne is very versed in sea life (this book is chock full of jargon) and as a science nerd, it was fascinating. And somehow, through all the science and tech, he was able to create a story that is often exhilarating.
4/5 stars
When working your way through classic horror, you will always come to Peter Straub and Ghost Story. This being my first foray into his writing, I was surprised by his eeriness, character building, and the haunting disconnect of what's real and what isn't. I am looking forward to reading more by him.
4/5 stars
CONCLUSION: WE KNOW BASICALLY NOTHING ABOUT ANYTHING. Peter Wohlleben has been working close to trees for most of his life, and is an excellent source for how trees speak. The Hidden Life is a treasure trove of anthropomorphic leanings, ones that make us look deeper at our world, and how we respond and live in it. bookreview beardedreviews beardedreading reviews book novel reading readersoftumblr

Alone on the Beach was a shockingly good read. The SS Palo Alto, shipwrecked now at Seacliff Beach, is the perfect spot for a ghost story, and Grant weaves a story with intriguing prose and spooky visuals. Looking forward to reading the other two books of the series.
4/5 stars
George Saunders' short stories are some of the most engaging and enjoyable that I have ever read. Pastoralia includes Sea Oak, which is possibly my favorite short of all time: macabre and with humor that only Saunders can produce.
5/5 stars
Paula Saunders' debut novel The Distance Home shows a hell of a lot of promise: beautiful prose, fleshed out characters. But the story felt rehashed somehow and I found it hard to connect with it. That being said, there were enough enjoyable moments in this family drama to recommend.
3/5 stars
How Blakeslee can write a book this fascinating about wolves is astonishing. You find yourself rooting for wild animals as each chapter unfolds. Also, Rick McIntyre is a fascinating character study.
