Exit Interview: The Life and Death of My Ambitious Career by Kristi Coulter

Exit Interview: The Life and Death of My Ambitious Career by Kristi Coulter

Posted on September 17, 2023 by Rachel • 2 Comments

I don’t even think I realized Exit Interview was about Amazon until I checked it out of the library, it was a “coming soon” title and the author seemed familiar so I put it on hold. The cover should have been a little clue but I think I thought it was just about office work. … Continue reading →

Dear Fran, Love Dulcie: Life and Death in the Hills and Hollows of Bygone Australia published by Victoria Twead

Posted on August 17, 2022 by Rachel • 1 Comment

This was a wild ride. Someone on a message board had said they read it and I was intrigued because I watch and read a lot of Australian content but it’s all fictional. I thought it would be interesting to see what life was really like back in rural Australia 70 or so years ago. … Continue reading →

This Is Not a Pity Memoir by Abi Morgan

Posted on July 22, 2022 by Rachel • 1 Comment

This Is Not a Pity Memoir was, instead, a slightly meandering but interesting memoir. I truly don’t know how she managed to produce and write a tv show during all this. I can’t imagine what it would be like to have your partner come out of a coma and insist that you are an imposter. … Continue reading →

Unmask Alice LSD, Satanic Panic, and the Imposter Behind the World’s Most Notorious Diaries by Rick Emerson

Unmask Alice LSD, Satanic Panic, and the Imposter Behind the World’s Most Notorious Diaries by Rick Emerson

Posted on July 8, 2022 by Rachel • 1 Comment

What kind of person writes a debunking only to admit that he cannot and will not provide any sources to his work at all? This guy! Rick Emerson! This book is such a mess I can barely think straight. This was of the hackiest pieces of nonfiction writing I’ve ever read. For the first quarter … Continue reading →

Mean Baby: A Memoir of Growing Up by Selma Blair

Posted on May 20, 2022 by Rachel • 2 Comments

Sometimes it’s hard to review a book without feeling like a mean baby yourself. Unfortunately, Mean Baby is a book that left me with a lot of questions. It’s difficult to write about someone who is ostensibly being honest about their life especially when that person is apparently struggling with a major illness and who … Continue reading →

Everything I Have Is Yours: A Marriage by Eleanor Henderson

Oh my. I have so many thoughts on this book. I must have requested it a while back because it popped up on publication day in the Libby app to download. I didn’t really remember what it was about but it had a cool cover, it said the woman’s novel was a NYT bestseller and … Continue reading →

Nowhere Girl: A Memoir of a Fugitive Childhood by Cheryl Diamond

Posted on June 21, 2021 by Rachel • 5 Comments

Eep! This is a tricky review to write. I was so excited to read this book and was overjoyed when I was contacted to see if I wanted to be part of a book tour. A memoir about a woman who lived her childhood on the lam with her parents crisscrossing the globe? Yes, please! … Continue reading →
