Book Review: Twice in a Blue Moon

21st Oct 201921st Oct 20191 Comment

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

Book Review: Cupid’s Match

25th Sep 201925th Sep 2019Leave a comment

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

Book Review: Meet Cute

1st Jul 201921st Jun 2019Leave a comment

Every time I heard the expression "meet cute," I think of the movie, The Holiday when Kate Winslet's character learns about the term from that adorable, old Hollywood writer she helps find his way home. There have been some great meet cutes that I've read lately (My Oxford Year, for example) and I was really … Continue reading Book Review: Meet Cute

Book Review: Roomies

17th Jun 20191 Comment

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

Book Review: The Unhoneymooners

10th Jun 201931st May 20191 Comment

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

Happily Ever After by Ben Rosett on Unsplash: 99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne (The Modest Reader)

Book Review: 99 Percent Mine

22nd Apr 201911th Apr 2019Leave a comment

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

Book Review: My Oxford Year

4th Mar 201919th Apr 20193 Comments

Since I heard about the release of My Oxford Year by Julia Whelan this past year, I knew I had to read it. I spent a year studying in England myself, and I remember the trip we took to Oxford... the campus took my breath away. If I had decided to continue my education and get my … Continue reading Book Review: My Oxford Year

Book Review: My Lady’s Choosing

11th Feb 201918th Mar 2019Leave a comment

I honestly don't ever remember reading Choose Your Own Adventure books as a child (though I'm sure I did), but the concept is so appealing to me. It's kind of like a video game for book lovers... which for this girl means pretty much an ideal situation. When I heard last year that there was … Continue reading Book Review: My Lady’s Choosing

Book Review: Matchmaking for Beginners

4th Feb 201918th Mar 20191 Comment

I had been hearing a lot of buzz about Matchmaking for Beginners by Maddie Dawson in my book club, so when it went on sale in the Kindle store over the holidays, I knew I had to get it and take a read for myself. I'm fascinated with the art of matchmaking (my mother-in-law actually worked for … Continue reading Book Review: Matchmaking for Beginners

Book Review: The Secret Ingredient

28th Jan 201918th Mar 2019Leave a comment

My book journey so far this year has covered a lot of heavy subjects (murder, abuse, and WII on multiple occasions), so I was looking for something light to change things up a bit. I love a good romance novel every once in a while, and when I saw that The Secret Ingredient was published by Harlequin, … Continue reading Book Review: The Secret Ingredient
