Dead Witch Walking Book Review


Last month I read Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison. The book follows Rachel Morgan, a witch who works for the IS (the FBI for the supernatural). Rachel quits her job and teams up with a vampire, Ivy, and a pixie, Jenks. If you'd like a more in depth summary of the book, I will link the book's Amazon page here.

Book Review: Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert

Hello!

I have been sick for the past week, but I wanted to get a post up today, regardless of how I am personally feeling. I read Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert last month and absolutely loved it. Big Magic is essentially about why everyone should live his or her life creatively and gives the encouragement he or she needs to make time for living such a life.

Book Review: The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin

Today's post is a book review of Gretchen Rubin's The Happiness Project. If you have read some of my previous posts you will know that I have been interested in starting my own happiness project for quite some time now. I decided to read this book to see if a happiness project was something that would be worth doing as opposed to making a group of resolutions at the beginning of the year that I never succeed at completing.

To give a brief summary, Rubin came up with the idea of a happiness project while on the subway. She saw her life passing by and wasn't sure if she was as happy as she could be. She came up with eleven categories and resolutions to go in each category. One category would be the highlight of each month, and she would add January's category with February, and then January and February with March, and so forth until she had to keep up all of her resolutions in December.

If you would like more of a summary of this book, I will link the book's Amazon page here.

Do not keep reading unless you have read the book or spoilers excite you.

Book Review: Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

I recently finished reading Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat Pray Love. I had been wanting to read this book ever since the movie came out and my mom couldn't stop talking about it. I decided to buy the book when I saw it on the clearance rack at Books-A-Million a couple of months ago. I went to Books-A-Million because I had a giftcard from last Christmas to use. I have never been so grateful for a giftcard in my life.

Book Review: Paper Towns by John Green

Recently, I finished reading Paper Towns by John Green. This is the third book I have read by him, after Looking for Alaska and The Fault in Our Stars. I'm a fan of John Green's characters. They are always dynamic and witty, and keep the reader on their toes. You never know what they're going to say or do next, which I quite enjoy.
