It’s been a couple of months since my last review—which wasn’t intentional, but felt oddly fitting as I worked my way through this one. Emma Lord is usually a big win for me, particularly when it comes to her YA novels, which I’ve consistently liked a lot. That said, her step outside of YA with … Continue reading Book Review: For The Record
At this point, Mazey Eddings is basically an auto-read for me. I’ve worked my way through Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake, The Plus One, and Late Bloomer, and while some landed better than others, I’ve come to expect a certain blend of big-hearted chaos, neurodivergent rep, and banter that somehow feels like therapy and foreplay at … Continue reading Book Review: Well, Actually
I didn't realize I had so much YA on my ARC list. The next (and I think final, for now) story is another book by Sophie Gonzales, who has written many novels—and who I have found to both love and not love as much. The synopsis for Nobody In Particular gave me Red, White and … Continue reading Book Review: Nobody In Particular
Dahlia Adler is a writer that I've been coming back to for a few years now. Her books are by no means my favourite, but she usually writes strong, well-developed characters with great dialogue that I really enjoy. She also usually writes queer characters, which isn't the case here with Come As You Are, her … Continue reading Book Review: Come As You Are
We are now on book four of Kelley Armstrong's "Rip Through Time" series—and if we include the fact that there are least two novellas, I have visited these characters many times over the past few years. I feel deeply immersed in the world and am excited to see where Mallory, Duncan, Isla and Hugh take … Continue reading Book Review: Death At A Highland Wedding
I am by no means a Katherine Center expert, but I have read half a dozen of her books and have usually found them enjoyable. Something I love about her process is that she usually chooses a career for one of the main characters that we get to learn a lot about, whether it's a … Continue reading Book Review: The Love Haters
Okay, so I am still very late in getting my reviews up. Get Lost With You by Sophie Sullivan came out before Valentine's Day, and I'm only getting to it now, around Easter weekend, but we have a new member of our family, and he's been waking me up every two hours to eat, so...hopefully I'm … Continue reading Book Review: Get Lost With You
I really apologize for being so late with my reviews. I'm almost through with my pregnancy and I'm hoping I'll have more time to actually write my thoughts down about what I'm reading when I have a bit of a slower time during maternity leave—but let's see! I did read this back in January, so … Continue reading Book Review: The Rival
I have been very bad at, well, lots of things lately. I'm in the third trimester of this pregnancy (surprise?), and I basically just want to sleep, which is impossible when you have a four-year-old. So I haven't read anything other than a few short holiday-themed novellas in a long time. Even this book I … Continue reading Book Review: Let’s Call A Truce
I'm not going to lie; I read this book almost two months ago and just haven't had the time to put together this review. I think it was a bit because I wasn't totally sure what to say about it—and I wanted to think about it. But then time just kept dragging on and the … Continue reading Book Review: How To Get A Life In Ten Dates
