New Review: Rising Out of Hatred

April 3, 2019April 3, 2019 ~ lutheranjulia ~ Leave a comment

Book: Rising Out of Hatred Author: Eli Saslow Format: Net Galley (free ARC), audio via Audible I really struggled to read this book. I have read many other reviews in which people complain that the author does directly note when he is quoting Derek or Don. In the author's note at the back of the book, … Continue reading New Review: Rising Out of Hatred

New Review: The Great Alone

September 18, 2018September 18, 2018 ~ lutheranjulia ~ 1 Comment

This review may contain SPOILERS!! You've been warned.  I kicked this book down the road for quite a while because it's just not in my usual genres.

Review: I’m Judging You

November 18, 2016November 18, 2016 ~ lutheranjulia ~ Leave a comment

In the past week, I’ve struggled to finish a book, any book. I have half-read books all over the place, but they have too much plot or not enough, or I need more attention to learn from them, or I just can’t bring myself to care about the people or characters in the book. This … Continue reading Review: I’m Judging You

Review: Underground Airlines

August 30, 2016November 5, 2016 ~ lutheranjulia ~ Leave a comment

This book has stayed with me for over a month now. I checked out from the library and then I kept it, long after I had finished reading, because I just wasn't done with it. Or more, it wasn't done with me.
