Book Review: Boyfriend Material

22nd Nov 202014th Sep 20233 Comments

I am so excited that I found the time to read Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall. When it first came out this summer, I heard nothing but praise for it, and I couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy. I knew nothing about the story other than what I read in the synopsis, … Continue reading Book Review: Boyfriend Material

Book Review: The Flatshare

20th Apr 202020th Apr 2020Leave a comment

The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary was getting a lot of buzz in my online bookclub when it first came out. At the time, I was drowning in ARCs that I was on deadline for, so I wasn't able to get to reading in right away. As I've mentioned, since being in the time of social … Continue reading Book Review: The Flatshare

Book Review: Field Notes on Love

15th Apr 202015th Apr 20201 Comment

I remember hearing a story a few years back about a guy—from Toronto!—who was supposed to travel with is girlfriend, but they had broken up, so he was looking for someone with the same name to travel with him, since the tickets were non-transferable. I found someone, and they were going to document their trip … Continue reading Book Review: Field Notes on Love

Book Review: Red, White & Royal Blue

9th Apr 20201 Comment

Having been in isolation for more than 60 days now (weird timing with having a newborn), I'm wanting to get through some of the hundreds of books in my TBR pile that I own instead of getting ARCs off NetGalley. I'm still not reading as much as I could be because I'm so dang tired, … Continue reading Book Review: Red, White & Royal Blue

Book Review: Meet Me at Midnight

24th Mar 2020Leave a comment

The world is a crazy place right now, and I'm so happy to have my husband, my dog and my baby boy in insolation with me...as well as books, of course. I highly recommend the whole world just hole up with a book as long as we possibly can to flatten the curve on this … Continue reading Book Review: Meet Me at Midnight

Book Review: The Honey-Don’t List

16th Mar 202022nd Mar 2020Leave a comment

Bookstagram's favourite writing duo, Christina Lauren, has another book coming out this month (March 24—yay!) and I was very lucky to receive yet another advanced copy to review before it was released to the masses. It was just a few months ago that they released Twice in a Blue Moon, which, admittedly, was not my … Continue reading Book Review: The Honey-Don’t List

Book Review: In Five Years

8th Mar 20208th Mar 2020Leave a comment

It's been over a month since I've posted any reviews. I haven't had much time to read since my son was born, so you know it had to take a really good book to tear me away from my newborn—or from getting some extra sleep, since I only seem to get two-hour stretches of it … Continue reading Book Review: In Five Years

Book Review: The Little Bookshop on the Seine

22nd Jan 202020th Jan 2020

From the synopsis of The Little Bookshop on the Seine by Rebecca Raisin, I was sold. It sounds a lot like The Holiday (one of my favourite Christmas movies with Kate Winslet and Cameron Dias), but with bookstores, which is so much more interesting! Who wouldn't want to run off to Paris to run a … Continue reading Book Review: The Little Bookshop on the Seine

Book Review: Make Your Move

2nd Jan 20203rd Jan 2020Leave a comment

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

Book Review: The Dating Charade

16th Dec 2019Leave a comment

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
