The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan
5.0
Amazing first book for the series. It Definitely starts out slow but you get a better understanding of all the characters and can compare it to the tv show series on Amazon Prime with a different perspective.
We Are All the Same in the Dark by Julia Heaberlin
5.0
I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!! This was a sit down and read in one day type of thriller, with so much use age of flashbacks and mystery other you’re on the edge of your seat the whole time. Heaberlin truly gives a new perspective in the thriller work, including romance and the possibility and effects of the past on the future. If you’re a fan of a “who done it” type of book and need something that leaves you guessing until the end- this is it!
Subliminal: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior by Leonard Mlodinow
5.0
I’ve had this book since I was about 13 years old and i finally read it at the beginning of the year. I highly recommend for someone who wants to reset their mindset about themselves and the world around them. This book is thought provoking and easy to read as the author uses amazing maritime style to combine research and humor into a fantastic book about our unconscious mind.
I'm Waiting for You: And Other Stories by Kim Bo-young
4.0
I read this for book club and while I loved the love story and thinking about the concept of space and time being relative I wasn’t a fan of the whole other world god etc portion. I think I got hooked on the book due to the love story and wish that has been expanded on. It’s still a decent read though!
Black-Eyed Susans by Julia Heaberlin
5.0
This book gave me the creeps in the most amazing BFF way possible. All I can say is if you love true crime and thrillers this is a must read. Julia heaberlin has an amazing and refreshing twist on classic thrillers.
Girl One by Sara Flannery Murphy
4.0
This was a pretty calm supposed sci-fi novel. It was almost like the prequel to some epic show that would be coming on. I wish they had discussed parthenogenesis in more detail and provided more answers to some of the questions that arose when they found the doctor and figured out they have additional powers when together. I love the medical mystery aspect of this book and appreciate the commentary on the oppression of women and the constant need for men to regulate them.
Lie Still by Julia Heaberlin
4.0
Hard to follow at first but a decent thriller. I can tell this is one of the authors earlier works because the place is much slower. I wanted to read because I do love Adobe of jet new books and wanted to see her journey as an author. If you’re patient unlike me, take a read
