Happy New Year! And welcome to the first book I completed in 2020. I've been doing this for a year now, and although I still have a long way to go—and will definitely have some growing pains with the baby coming soon—I'm excited to continue this journey. Thank you for reading! The book cover to … Continue reading Book Review: Every Other Weekend
Ah! I've officially fallen behind in my reviews. I'm going to try to make it my 2020 resolution to stay on top of it, but with the baby coming in 6-ish weeks, I can't promise I'll be great at it at the beginning. I will do my best! That being said, I was drawn to … Continue reading Book Review: Make Your Move
I will admit I've been a little slower at the posting lately—sorry, everyone!—but as I write this I'm almost 32 weeks pregnant, and I'm finding it takes a very specific kind of story to keep me from falling asleep...and I'm having a harder and harder time finding the right plot. I was hoping The Dating … Continue reading Book Review: The Dating Charade
As much as I'm not the type of person who reads my horoscope religiously, I am someone who is married to the type of person who reads his horoscope every day. As far as I can tell, he doesn't base any major life decisions on what the stars are telling him, but I've learned a … Continue reading Book Review: Star-Crossed
When I saw the cover for Mercy Road by Ann Howard Creely on NetGalley, from the same publishing house that published one of my favourite books of this year, The Beantown Girls, I knew I had to read it. Instead of being about women helping during World War II, this one was about women ambulance … Continue reading Book Review: Mercy Road
I have never read anything by Colleen Hoover. I know. You should be shocked. I had actually never even heard of her until I started poking around the bookstagram community... and I don't know how I managed it. When I asked where a good place to start was, I was told It Ends With Us. … Continue reading Book Review: It Ends With Us
I have so many books in my To Be Read pile that I didn't even know where to start, so I made a little poll and asked my bookclub which book I should tackle next (thank you, Spivesters!). Although it wasn't a unanimous decision, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid won … Continue reading Book Review: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
By some weird coincidence, this is the third book in a row I've read by a Lauren, though this one is much more familiar to me, since I seem to devour anything Christina Lauren have written in a day or two. And their latest, Twice in a Blue Moon (out tomorrow, October 22), is no … Continue reading Book Review: Twice in a Blue Moon
It had been a while since I read a good-old dystopian YA fiction. Books like The Hunger Games series and Kiera Cass's The Selection series are some of my favourite examples of stories that I will keep coming back to, even as I continue into my 30s. I've mentioned before that YA doesn't really only … Continue reading Book Review: The Memory Thief
When I saw that there was a romance novel about Cupid that was doing so well on Wattpad that they were publishing it, I was definitely intrigued. I mean, when that many people already love it, it has to be a good read! So I took a read of Lauren Palphreyman's novel (in stores October … Continue reading Book Review: Cupid’s Match
