COVETOUSNESS: by Randi Cooley WilsonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars I received this ARC from Red Coat Publishing and the author in exchange for an honest review.That was a lovely treat. Elements of mystery, paranormal and romance all come together for a highly entertaining read.The characters were quirky, full of life and interesting to follow. The protagonist was a refreshing change from the all-too-well-known special snowflake that needs a fresh start. She was witty, awkward and realistic. I cannot express how refreshing it was to read a story about a young woman, who doesn’t expect a red-carpet reception wherever she goes.The plot was straight forward with some unexplained mysteries still…

Essex County by Jeff LemireMy rating: 4 of 5 stars I can’t really say that I grew up in Essex County per se, but I did spent a considerable time in my late teens and early twenties in that general area. The mood the author/artist creates captures the mood perfectly. It was little bit sad, a little bit nostalgic and shows a part of Canadian life in southwestern Ontario so perfectly.

Yes Please by Amy PoehlerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars I got the audiobook version from my library. The beginning was slightly slow, but her candid and honest way of talking about many topics and issues made up for any hesitation I had in the beginning. I appreciated how open Poehler wrote/spoke about all the obstacles and insecurities women experience and how it is ok to be our true selves.I am definitely considering getting the print version to read various chapters again in the future View all my reviews

LTB Ultimate 1 – Phantomias – Die Chronik eines Superhelden by Guido MartinaMy rating: 5 of 5 stars I was not aware of this series until recently and growing up, reading Donald comics I would always skip the Phantomias stories, since I never really understood his origin. Somehow I stumbled upon a Phantomias comic not too long ago and I was hooked and excited to read more. It’s been difficult finding and reading them in order, but I’m glad I finally got to read the beginning of Phantomias. View all my reviews

Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri ManiscalcoMy rating: 1 of 5 stars Originally, I gave this story a three-star rating, but after much consideration and mulling over my feelings during and after reading it, I have come to the conclusion that I should change it to a one-star rating. As a historical fiction piece, I felt disappointed by the execution of this potentially great new series that could have put a new spin on the young adult, historical fiction crime/mystery genre, sadly it fell flat due to the following reasons:The characters were inconsistent in their personalities and overall nature. As a reader, I felt torn between cheering on the female…
