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
I reviewed Dahlia Adler's Cool For The Summer last year—just before I went on my impromptu hiatus—and it was such a joy to read that when I saw Home Field Advantage on NetGalley (coming out June 7), I knew I had to try to get my hands on a copy. Adler's writing is fun and … Continue reading Book Review: Home Field Advantage
Wish You Were Here was the February read for my online book club and I won't lie: I wasn't super jazzed to read it. I'm not sure I've read anything from Jodi Picoult (maybe something when I was in high school but nothing is coming to mind) but what I do know is that usually … Continue reading Book Review: Wish You Were Here
I don't read a lot of mystery or detective stories—and after I read a good one I'm always wondering why that is because I generally enjoy them. The same goes for historical fiction. When I came across the description for A Rip Through Time (actually, let's face it, it was actually the beautiful cover that … Continue reading Book Review: A Rip Through Time
Jennifer Weiner has been in the publishing industry for as long as I've been choosing my own books. Her debut novel Good In Bed came out in 2001; I was twelve years old and remember thinking the title was scandalous. Twenty-one years later, I got my hands on an ARC of The Summer Place (in … Continue reading Book Review: The Summer Place
For 2022, I decided I was actually going to do my best to try to read the books my online book club was reading this year—as long as I could get my hands on a copy. This is the first time in a long time that I did not pick the book I was reading … Continue reading Book Review: Fiona and Jane
I've read enough Taylor Jenkins Reid to know two things: that I will be having a hard time putting the book down to go to sleep and that I will not be disappointed. I'm trying to spread out getting through her bibliography because I don't want to rush and have nothing left to reliably go … Continue reading Book Review: One True Loves
