And 2020 is officially half over. I guess that’s something to be thankful for? Life is still weird and it’s almost like time has frozen since mid-March, except it hasn’t really. But I do love the beginning of the month, because I love to look ahead at the books I plan on reading. It’s also […]

Most Anticipated Books of 2020 – Third Quarter

Most Anticipated Books of 2020 – Third Quarter
Posted June 30, 2020 by Tammy in Lists, Top Ten Tuesday / 67 Comments

This year I’ve decided to do my “Most Anticipated” lists a little differently. In the past, I’ve followed the Top Ten Tuesday format of seasonal TBRs (winter, spring, summer, fall), but I like the idea of cleaner, more symmetrical quarterly lists, dividing the year into four neat segments. I’ve seen other bloggers use this format […]

WE RIDE THE STORM by Devin Madson – Review

MEXICAN GOTHIC by Silvia Moreno-Garcia – Review

MEXICAN GOTHIC by Silvia Moreno-Garcia – Review
Posted June 25, 2020 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 38 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A creeping dread infuses this atmospheric Gothic tale of diabolical family secrets. “The walls speak to me. They tell me secrets. Don’t listen to them, press your hands against your ears, Noemí. There are ghosts. They’re real. You’ll see them eventually.” One of Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s strengths is her ability to create an atmospheric […]
