Book Review – The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah

By 11 Comments

The Great Alone: A Novel <— WHOA. OMG this book is amazing!! This just may end up being my favorite book of 2019… I think I highlighted the whole thing 😉

Simply stunning in its beauty and its darkness. The harsh Alaskan winters and way of life to survive them, and that of unconditional love… no matter how amazing or how horrible that love may be. Facts of real life. No matter how ugly.

I absolutely loved it from start to finish (even the whole build up and shock of moving to Alaska – I was riveted!!!!). read more

BREAKING NEWS UPDATE!! It looks like most of her books are ON SALE today!! I paid almost $13 for The Nightingale just a couple of weeks ago, and it’s on sale right now. :D!!!

I FELL HARD for this author’s latest release “The Nightingale” (<— my review). I’ve always known that she’s HUGE in our reading world, but I had never experienced her awesomeness for myself.

How could I possibly resist reading every single thing she’s ever written, after reading these adamant recommendations! read more

Book Review – The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah

By 14 Comments

The Nightingale
This was one of the most incredibly devastating, beautiful, tragic and eye opening stories that I have ever read. Absolutely unforgettable, utterly distressing yet uplifting in the hope that human compassion and fighting back in the face of adversity (any way you can… it all counts) will always prevail.

And this isn’t just a “tale”. This heinous period, this hate, this insanity… this evil… existed. Exists. And today is Holocaust Remembrance Day so I think I read this wonderful book just in time! read more

Currently Reading… The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah

The Nightingale <— I am totally reading one from my latest reader recommendations list and it is SO SOOOOO good. Considering it has over 3000 5-star reviews with barely any lower ones, I KNEW this would be awesome. Now I’m only nearing the halfway mark and so it may be premature to say this, but I’d say for those looking for a “Bronze Horseman” richness and feel (and era), THIS. IS. IT!!!!

Just check out what Athena had to say about it:

“So I just finished an EPIC of a story and I want to urge you all to read this AMAZING story!! ‘The Nightingale’ by Kristin Hannah’ was by far of one of the most beautiful stories even written!! It really was one of those book that took you in from page one and still has a hold on me even though it’s sadly over for me! I laughed, I cried (holy moly did I cry), I fell in love and I was angry (oh boy was I angry). And yet by the end I felt at peace and for that I must say Ms. Hannah is an absolutely brilliant writer!! 5++++++++“ read more
