A pregnant woman sits on a bed in a long tunic shirt with a pink sprinkle doughnut resting on her belly. She's holding a cup of coffee. We see her from above and only from the shoulders down.

Book Review: Lizzie Blake’s Best Mistake

5th Sep 202225th Aug 20223 Comments

I’m not going to lie, when I read this synopsis on NetGalley to see if I wanted to review Lizzie Blake’s Best Mistake by Mazey Eddings, I’m not sure I was fully paying attention, or maybe I got confused with another book because I don’t recall requesting it. As I started reading it, I kept … Continue reading Book Review: Lizzie Blake’s Best Mistake

Edison bulbs are hanging from the ceiling in a bookstore. The bulbs have books draped over them so they kind of look like butterflies or little houses.

Book Review: Booked on a Feeling

18th Jul 202217th Jul 2022Leave a comment

As a lover of books, no one would be surprised to learn that I'd love to open a bookstore (with a café) one day. It's one of those "if I were to win the lottery and were able to quit my day job" kind of dreams. I think that's why I was especially drawn to … Continue reading Book Review: Booked on a Feeling

Book Review: Bet On It

4th Jul 202224th Jun 20221 Comment

It's been a while since I've read my favourite summer genre—the cute, light, romantic rom-com—so when Bet On It by Jodie Slaughter (in stores July 12!) was next on my TBR list, I was so excited to into it. Not only could I relate to someone having a panic attack in the middle of the frozen foods … Continue reading Book Review: Bet On It

Book Review: The Wedding Season

4th Apr 202231st Mar 20221 Comment

I can't even remember the last time I went to a wedding—that's how far "wedding season" is in the rearview mirror for me, but that doesn't mean I don't love reading about them! When I came across The Wedding Season by Katy Birchall (in stores May 3, just in time for the wedding ramp up), … Continue reading Book Review: The Wedding Season

Book Review: The Idea of You

2nd Mar 202118th Feb 20212 Comments

I had heard a few months ago—heck it was probably a few years ago—that there was story out there about a mom hooking up with Harry Styles (or who was essentially Harry Styles), and it was getting a lot of buzz. At the time, I figured it was fan fiction and moved on. It wasn't … Continue reading Book Review: The Idea of You

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
