The Girl on the Train Review

Image
Title: The Girl on the Train Author: Paula Hawkins Pages: 323 Publisher: Riverhead Books Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ Synopsis:   Rachel catches the same commuter train every morning. She knows it will wait at the same signal each time, overlooking a row of back gardens. She's even started to feel like she knows the people who live in one of the houses. 'Jess and Jason', she calls them. Their life - as she sees it - is perfect. If only Rachel could be that happy. And then she sees something shocking. It's only a minute until the train moves on, but it's enough. Now everything's changed. Now Rachel has a chance to become a part of the lives she's only watched from afar. Now they'll see; she's much more than just the girl on the train... My Thoughts: I was not the biggest fan of this book. I had high hopes going into it because I had heard some good reviews for it and it was a Goodreads Choice Award winner a couple of years ago, but I ended up...

Fall Wrap Up

Image
Hi guys! I'm so sorry that I'm the worst and this is so late! School and finals always consume me, and i can't ever seem to make time for things I actually want to do. I hope to get better about that in the new year, but for now here is my super late fall wrap up! This season I: Read 3 books  Read a total of 1,150 pages  Had one 5 star book  Overall I thought this was a pretty good season for reading considering I was in school the whole time. I had two books that I really enjoyed, so I would consider this season a success!  The books I read this season were:  1. Cinder by Marissa Meyer  Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth’s fate hinges on one girl. Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and bla...

Summer TBR

Hi everyone! I can't believe that it is already July. Where has the year gone?? As far as my TBRs and Wrap Ups go, I am going to be making some changes. Because of my busy schedule, I don't have that much time to read much more than two or three books in a month if that. So, because I usually read so few books in a month, I feel like making a TBR and Wrap Up every month is pointless. Therefore, I'm going to start posting seasonal TBRs and Wrap Ups. I think that this will be easier on me and less redundant for you to read. I will still be posting each month as much as I can though, I'll just be posting book reviews and other content as I create and write it. So, I am going to go ahead and post my Summer TBR here even though one month of summer has already past. I will hold off on posting June's Wrap Up and include it in my Summer Wrap up at the end of August. Also, I will not be able to include pictures of the books in this TBR because I am moving on Sunday s...
