If you read this blog regularly, you'll think I'm in a million book clubs based on how I start these intros, but I promise you that I'm only in two. The Night Shift was one group's pick for March, and though I couldn't get my hands on a copy until now, I still wanted to … Continue reading Book Review: The Night Shift
My mom group started a book club this month and Lucky by Marissa Stapley is the first one on the docket. With Marissa being from Toronto, this book has been on my radar since before it was even an official ARC, and then when it became a Reese's Book Club pick, I knew I would … Continue reading Book Review: Lucky
Pulled from the archives of 2020 is The Right Swipe by Alisha Rai. I was never on any dating apps (I literally joined Tinder for a day and was both overwhelmed and terrified so deleted it right away), and luckily I found my husband (online, ironically) before all the variations became more popular, but I'm … Continue reading Book Review: The Right Swipe
There's something great about going into a book with no plot details and seeing where it takes you. The publicist reached out to me about this one, comparing it to My Oxford Year and Head Over Heels, both books that I absolutely loved, so I agreed to read it without even reading the synopsis. The … Continue reading Book Review: The Treehouse on Dog River Road
This book is a little rusty in my memory, since I read it back in 2020, but I wanted to make sure I got the review in since it was a translated book and I know I certainly have not read enough of those in my lifetime. Your Perfect Year was originally written in German, … Continue reading Book Review: Your Perfect Year
I'd been trying to get my hands on a copy of Every Summer After since the moment I saw it become available on NetGalley. Though I don't know the author, Carley Fortune, personally, we actually both worked at the same company at the same time and I would see her in the kitchenette from time … Continue reading Book Review: Every Summer After
I can't even remember the last time I went to a wedding—that's how far "wedding season" is in the rearview mirror for me, but that doesn't mean I don't love reading about them! When I came across The Wedding Season by Katy Birchall (in stores May 3, just in time for the wedding ramp up), … Continue reading Book Review: The Wedding Season
I'm playing catch-up a bit on books that I read while I was on maternity leave in 2020 that I wrote a quick review for in Goodreads but didn't have a chance to put on the blog. First up is Head Over Heels by Hannah Orenstein and though I don't remember every detail at this … Continue reading Book Review: Head Over Heels
I have been hearing about Such A Fun Age by Kiley Reid basically since the beginning of the pandemic. I knew the basic premise of the story and I suspected the subject matter was going to be quite heavy—especially with the importance and the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement and the (necessary) push … Continue reading Book Review: Such A Fun Age
I never really considered small-town love stories to be their own genre, but when As Seen on TV by Meredith Schorr (in stores June 7) came my way, it definitely made a case for it that I couldn't deny. Hallmark movies, after all, are money-making vehicles that are produced year-round (not just around the holidays!) … Continue reading Book Review: As Seen on TV
