Back at work for a week and already running on fumes—but here I am, trying to keep the review train going, so let's see how this goes. I picked up While You Were Seething by Charlotte Stein partly because of the title (if you know me at all, you know that While You Were Sleeping … Continue reading Book Review: While You Were Seething
I read this entire book in one day. One day. That hasn't happened in a long time—and honestly, it felt like a sign that maybe I'm finding my reading groove again. Kelley Armstrong is my favourite author, full stop, and by now you probably know that from the sheer volume of her work I've covered … Continue reading Book Review: A Deadly Inheritance
Back to work in two weeks. I keep saying it out loud like that'll make it feel more real—and also like it'll motivate me to get my reading life back in order before the chaos officially resumes. With a second baby ruling my schedule, carving out time to sit down with a book has felt … Continue reading Book Review: Maybe This Once
It has felt like the longest winter imaginable. The kind where it’s perpetually grey, aggressively cold, and somehow darker at 4 p.m. than feels reasonable. For whatever reason, this stretch has also put me in a bit of a reading slump—which is unusual for me, but here we are. Clare Gilmore’s Never Over felt like … Continue reading Book Review: Never Over
This was one of the holiday reads I was especially looking forward to. Sophie Sullivan has become an author I reliably reach for when I want something cozy and romantic, and You Make It Feel Like Christmas felt perfectly timed for the season. I started reading it over the holidays, though things moved a little … Continue reading Book Review: You Make It Feel Like Christmas
Sarah Chamberlain’s debut, The Slowest Burn, was a book I really enjoyed, so her second novel, Love Walked In was always going to be on my radar. Between the enemies-to-lovers setup, forced proximity and a bookstore setting, this one checked a lot of boxes before I even opened it. Chamberlain’s writing remains intimate and character-focused, … Continue reading Book Review: Love Walked In
It’s been a couple of months since my last review—which wasn’t intentional, but felt oddly fitting as I worked my way through this one. Emma Lord is usually a big win for me, particularly when it comes to her YA novels, which I’ve consistently liked a lot. That said, her step outside of YA with … Continue reading Book Review: For The Record
At this point, Mazey Eddings is basically an auto-read for me. I’ve worked my way through Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake, The Plus One, and Late Bloomer, and while some landed better than others, I’ve come to expect a certain blend of big-hearted chaos, neurodivergent rep, and banter that somehow feels like therapy and foreplay at … Continue reading Book Review: Well, Actually
I know it feels like I basically only read Kelley Armstrong these days...and you wouldn't be wrong. I'm not sure how she churns out so many books in a year, but I love it, and I hope she keeps the books coming at this breakneck pace. Heck, I even just finished the first book in … Continue reading Book Review: Writing Mr. Wrong
I didn't realize I had so much YA on my ARC list. The next (and I think final, for now) story is another book by Sophie Gonzales, who has written many novels—and who I have found to both love and not love as much. The synopsis for Nobody In Particular gave me Red, White and … Continue reading Book Review: Nobody In Particular
