Ever since I started on this book journey, I've been hearing about so much buzz about Katherine Center's How to Walk Away (and her much-anticipated summer release, Things You Save in a Fire—which I will be reviewing in coming weeks), that I knew I had to get my hands on a copy. I honestly went … Continue reading Book Review: How to Walk Away
In a weird turn of events, this is the second week in a row that I'm reviewing a Christina Lauren novel, but this is the book I actually read first, so this is my first experience with their writing. (Yes, I say their because I didn't realize it was a duo penning these stories.) Though … Continue reading Book Review: Roomies
With summer quickly approaching, I'm really into fun, lighter reads these days, and I knew I wouldn't be disappointed with anything by Christina Lauren. From the cover and the title (I find it really clever!) to the premise, I was hooked right from the beginning. The Unhoneymooners just came out on May 14, and if … Continue reading Book Review: The Unhoneymooners
I've heard about Jennifer Weiner since Good In Bed in 2001, but at the time I was too young to read her, and I strangely haven't gotten around to reading anything of hers since. I was drawn to Mrs. Everything (in stores June 11) because of the beautiful cover—and because I saw who the author … Continue reading Book Review: Mrs. Everything
Is it just me or when the title of a book mirrors the lyrics of a song, do you get the song stuck in your head in a loop? Ever since I picked up Maybe This Time by Jill Mansell (in stores June 4), I have Liza Minnelli's voice in my head—not that I ever … Continue reading Book Review: Maybe This Time
I'm a sucker for stories where the protagonist has to follow a series of tasks to get to a big reveal. And when it's after someone's death (à la P.S. I Love You or 13 Little Blue Envelopes), I usually know I'm going to get a thrill out of it. When There's A Will by … Continue reading Book Review: Where There’s a Will
We're told never to judge a book by its cover, and yet it was the cover of The Farm by Joanne Ramos (in stores May 7) that drew me toward it. I've never read (or seen) A Handmaid's Tale, and dystopian fiction is something I usually reserve for YA titles, but the juxtaposition of those … Continue reading Book Review: The Farm
When I saw this book on NetGalley, and I knew I needed to read it. It was about a girl who travelled abroad to London for a semester in order to try and break out of her shell...which I can relate to on a deep level, having done something similar myself. The publisher was done … Continue reading Book Review: Again, but Better
I've been quietly anticipating the next installment of Sally Thorne's work ever since I read The Hating Game last year. I know I was a little late on picking it up (a friend recommended it to me when I asked about light beach-read-type books), but it was definitely one of my favourite reads from last … Continue reading Book Review: 99 Percent Mine
When I was poking around NetGalley, I was drawn to Starworld by Audrey Coulthurst and Paula Garner (in stores April 16) mostly because of the beautiful cover art. I know you're not supposed to judge, as the saying goes, but as a person who has always been fascinated by space (I always wanted to be … Continue reading Book Review: Starworld
