Book Review: Writing Mr. Wrong

29th Sep 202526th Sep 2025Leave a comment

I know it feels like I basically only read Kelley Armstrong these days...and you wouldn't be wrong. I'm not sure how she churns out so many books in a year, but I love it, and I hope she keeps the books coming at this breakneck pace. Heck, I even just finished the first book in … Continue reading Book Review: Writing Mr. Wrong

Book Review: You Between The Lines

12th May 2025Leave a comment

Another very late review, but it's up nonetheless. You Between The Lines is from debut author Katie Naymon and I was drawn to read it because I was drawn to the fact that the main character seems to be a bit of a fish out of water when it comes to her MFA program—which is … Continue reading Book Review: You Between The Lines

Book Review: Finding Mr. Write

17th Jun 202413th Jun 20242 Comments

If you've been following me at all, you know I'm a big fan of Kelley Armstrong's. In fact, she's usually the writer I read to change it up and not read a light, funny romantic comedy (which is what I tend to pick up more than anything). When I saw that she was writing a … Continue reading Book Review: Finding Mr. Write

Book Review: A Lady for a Duke

2nd May 202216th Apr 20221 Comment

Historical romance is not one of my favourite genres to read. I like a good historical fiction from time to time, sure (generally centered around the world wars) but I don't read a lot of mass-market romances because they aren't usually my thing. Despite this, when I read what Alexis Hall, writer of one of … Continue reading Book Review: A Lady for a Duke

Book Review: As Seen on TV

7th Mar 20221st Mar 2022Leave a comment

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

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
