  Precious Bane

  by Mary Webb

  • Rated 5 stars

  This book was an absolute pleasure to read, from start to finish. The depth and character development were stunning and you get such a glimpse at human nature - at it's best and worst. It's almost a spiritual journey - after reading you find yourself savoring different passages to find all the truth you know is within them. Precious Bane is AMAZING. I don't know what exactly it was about it struck me as exquisitely beautiful, but it touched me and I finished it feeling like a better person....

  Ready Player One

  by Ernest Cline

  • Rated 4 stars

  Surprisingly fun and engrossing. Relies heavily on pop culture references so if you weren't a kid growing up on 80's pop culture, most of the fun of the story will be lost on you. I admit there were a few references to things I did not recognize and I was a little bored during those parts....
