I'm playing catch-up a bit on books that I read while I was on maternity leave in 2020 that I wrote a quick review for in Goodreads but didn't have a chance to put on the blog. First up is Head Over Heels by Hannah Orenstein and though I don't remember every detail at this … Continue reading Book Review: Head Over Heels
Jennifer Weiner has been in the publishing industry for as long as I've been choosing my own books. Her debut novel Good In Bed came out in 2001; I was twelve years old and remember thinking the title was scandalous. Twenty-one years later, I got my hands on an ARC of The Summer Place (in … Continue reading Book Review: The Summer Place
I've read enough Taylor Jenkins Reid to know two things: that I will be having a hard time putting the book down to go to sleep and that I will not be disappointed. I'm trying to spread out getting through her bibliography because I don't want to rush and have nothing left to reliably go … Continue reading Book Review: One True Loves
I’ve read a lot of Christina Lauren this year—sue me! This has been a year where my favourite writing duo have had exactly what I've wanted to read: light, funny contemporary romance that will help me get through this horrid year. Josh + Hazel's Guide to Not Dating is one of their older books, but … Continue reading Book Review: Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating
I've never had my life together enough around the holidays to remember that this time of the year is my chance to read something Christmassy and actually feel the magic around me as well. Pair that with my favourite writing duo, Christina Lauren, and I had some pretty high expectations for their latest, In A … Continue reading Book Review: In A Holidaze
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
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
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
