Is "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" Worth The Hype?
I’ve seen The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo everywhere from social media to bookstore endcaps to book-related emails promoting buzzworthy reads. Although I don’t seek out historical fiction, Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel intrigued me. Along with the high ratings, the premise of an enigmatic movie star reminded me of one of my favorite novels, The Life and Death of Sophie Stark, featuring a troubled filmmaker, so I hoped Evelyn Hugo would be similarly enjoyable.

Rachel Reviews: The Heart's Invisible Furies by John Boyne
Ah, John Boyne. I know that I will never be disappointed picking up one of his books. He is a great storyteller and his books, the ones which are specifically focused on Ireland, seem to have the most depth and the most feeling. Is this just coincidence? I don't think so. I think Ireland is important, because out of the four books by Boyne I've read, the most intense for me as a reader have both been set in Ireland: this one and A History of Loneliness.

"Stone Blind" by Natalie Haynes: My Full Review, Summary & Notes
Browsing through the shelves of WH Smith on a wet Saturday afternoon, I was carrying far too many books. Like a kid in a sweet shop, I rushed around, enamoured by beautiful covers and crisp pages. My attention was being pulled from one title to the next, anxiously jotting down how much this would all cost and then trying to justify my purchases. £100 on books isn't so bad if I learn things from them, is it?
