The Woman in the Window is about a woman named Anna. Anna hasn’t left her home for over ten months. She suffers from agoraphobia. She spends her days watching her neighbors through the blinds and using her Nikon camera. Also, she spends her days watching old black and white movies, plays chess on her computer, talks to others online who suffer from anxiety and agoraphobia, and drinks a lot of wine. She tends to mix her medication with wine, which can cause side effects such as hallucinations. Anna gets new neighbors and one night she believes she witnesses a murder. However, no one believes her. Did someone actually die or is she actually hallucinating? What is actually reality and what isn’t?
The Woman in the Window is faced paced and gripping. I guessed some of the plot twists, but I was still very shocked and mind blown in the end. One of my gripes about the book is that I found Anna to be annoying at times. Overall I enjoyed the book.

DNF at yes, 4%. I know I didn’t get really into the book or give it a fair chance, but hear me out. The writing in my opinion is awful. Literally, the word “perfect” was used about 5-7 times in the first 4% of the novel. Then, the word “beautiful” was thrown a round a few times. Also, there are some historical inaccuracies with how the characters speak right away. I know it is just a book and just a romance book, but this book is not for me.

DNF @ 20%
This book has beautiful writing, however it is very slow to where I have to force myself to read it. I felt like there was more telling than showing in the book. I wanted to get through it. I wanted to like it. I could not connect with the characters.

Rating: 3.5/5
Two twins named Ava and Zelda. Ava has cut off her family and lives in Paris. Zelda is back home taking care of her sick mother on their vineyard. One day Ava gets a call that Zelda died in the barn on their property.
As Ava flies home to deal with her past, her sister’s death, and her dysfunctional family, two things happen. One, the police are ruling Zelda’s death as a homicide. Two, Ava gets mysterious emails from Zelda in forms of a letter for the alphabet. Zelda is playing games with Ava and trying to tell Ava a story. Is Zelda actually dead or is she alive by playing a cruel game?
The book does keep a reader gripped and it is well written. However, I was annoyed by the constant drinking in the book and the ending.

Cinder and the gang are trying to find ways to stop the evil Queen from taking over earth, marrying the emperor, find a cure for the plague, and basically save the galaxy.
I really enjoyed Cress and Cress as a new character. I found this one very enjoyable compared to Scarlet.

On a train a murder occurs late in the night. Who did? Poirot interviews 13 people who were in the area when the murder occurred? Who did it? And why was the man who died stabbed 12 times? Then, who does the evidence belong to?
The Murder on the Orient Express is a fast and easy read basically focusing on Poirot interviewing. I guessed the big piece of the ending of by page 25. Then, once the other big reveal was revealed I was not shocked because it was obvious and made sense.
3/5 Stars.

I really enjoyed reading the relationship that Miss Tizzy made with the children. She was able to make the children be like children with play as well as creating empathy and compassion for others. When Miss Tizzy gets sick, the children do everything Miss Tizzy did for them for her.

This book is delightful. I enjoyed the rhymes in the text as well the humor. It was fun to see what letters the postman delivered to each character. So, the interactive part was very enjoyable. The best part of this story was seeing all the loved fairytale characters in this book.

Alexander believes that he is having such a terrible day that he coins the day a terrible, bad, no good, very bad day. A bunch of things go wrong and Alexander has a negative outlook on everything and believes everything would be in Australia. However, his mom reminds him and the reader that we all will have very terrible, bad days.
