Up And Coming: Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman

Well now. I can't help but feel like Mr. Gaiman is capitalizing on the success of Marvel's Avengers, but at the same time... this is NEIL GAIMAN, PEOPLE. Norse Mythology is going to be so accurate and detailed that I can't wait. 
Interestingly enough, I've never actually read a Gaiman book, but his reputation (and work on Doctor Who) precedes him. I'm a fan without ever having cracked a novel. His rep is THAT incredible. I bought American Gods and plan to read it this month so I can stop sounding so silly raving about a book that's not even out yet, by an author I've never read. I know it's cliche to pick American Gods as your first Gaiman, but it just looks so good!
I swear, there's no paid advertising in this post...

    My personal favourite Neil Gaiman is The Graveyard Book.
    I look forward to this one.

One With You by Sylvia Day

One With You by Sylvia Day 4/5 This post contains mild spoilers. I have finally completed Sylvia Day’s Crossfire series, which ended with One With You . It took years. I think when I first got my hands on them it was right in the middle of the Fifty Shades of Grey phenomenon and only the first two or three books were out. So, this is quite literally years in the making. One With You has been out for quite a while but I hadn’t picked it up off of my book shelf. It was a mix of having other stuff to read and having no interest in continuing Gideon and Eva’s story. Anyways. I finally decided to commit to finishing the series but it had been so long since I’d read the other ones that I had to go read a synopsis of the novels and then it all just came rushing back. I remembered the books in detail. As far as conclusions go, it was pretty satisfying. Eva and Gideon had made massive strides with their mental health and really bloomed as a couple. I still find it absurd that al...

It's gonna be everything - Mia Lansford

  It’s Gonna Be Everything – Mia Lansford Released November 24, 2020 2.5/5 I was contacted by Mia Lansford and asked to review her book – how exciting!! I was very pumped and reading the blurb it was right up my happy, can read it in a couple of hours, aisle. The premise is basically that Amber is trying to heal from an abusive relationship and Noah is trying to keep his autistic son’s teacher in his life when Amber is suddenly let go due to budget cuts. They’ve been in the same circle since college and Amber will hang out with Tyler after school a few times a week to make the transition to not having her as a teacher easier. In exchange, Noah has to help Amber regain her confidence in herself and get some tips on how to flirt with men. It’s a cute premise, and I was here for it.                 Overall, I enjoyed the story. Mia Lansford writes characters that are full of personality and wildly relatab...

We are unprepared - Meg Little Reilley

This was a harder one. Dense, difficult to maneuver, and fraught with mirrors for our society, W e Are Unprepared forces the reader to take a deep look at the unsustainable way we live, and the fragility of human relationships when faced with forces greater than humanity. Like I said, this book is dense and took a lot longer to read than 400 pages normally would. There is a lot of emoption, and it is entirely from the perspective of Ash, in the face of an incoming storm that will forever change the face of the planet and the face of his relationship with his wife Pia.  The book is hard to get through, because it makes you examine your own life and the unsustainable way we are living as a species. It takes place in a small Vermont town called Isole which brings the idea of a world-changing Superstorm home. It is what would happen when people need to come together, but lines are drawn because humans love to fight and tend to be disagreeable at their very core. By not setting it in...
