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'm a bit of a cliché. I have always wanted to be an astronaut. Ever since I went to the Ontario Science Centre in grade 5 and did a mission to Mars simulation with my class, I've been fascinated by it. Not only is space itself so incomprehensible to my brain, but the possibility that … Continue reading Book Review: The Gravity of Us
From the synopsis of The Little Bookshop on the Seine by Rebecca Raisin, I was sold. It sounds a lot like The Holiday (one of my favourite Christmas movies with Kate Winslet and Cameron Dias), but with bookstores, which is so much more interesting! Who wouldn't want to run off to Paris to run a … Continue reading Book Review: The Little Bookshop on the Seine
This is the first time I ever had someone from a publishing house get in touch with me about reviewing a book that I had actually already heard about and was excited to read. Obviously, I jumped at the chance. From the synopsis to the beautiful cover for Tweet Cute by Emma Lord (which hits … Continue reading Book Review: Tweet Cute
Happy New Year! And welcome to the first book I completed in 2020. I've been doing this for a year now, and although I still have a long way to go—and will definitely have some growing pains with the baby coming soon—I'm excited to continue this journey. Thank you for reading! The book cover to … Continue reading Book Review: Every Other Weekend
Ah! I've officially fallen behind in my reviews. I'm going to try to make it my 2020 resolution to stay on top of it, but with the baby coming in 6-ish weeks, I can't promise I'll be great at it at the beginning. I will do my best! That being said, I was drawn to … Continue reading Book Review: Make Your Move
I will admit I've been a little slower at the posting lately—sorry, everyone!—but as I write this I'm almost 32 weeks pregnant, and I'm finding it takes a very specific kind of story to keep me from falling asleep...and I'm having a harder and harder time finding the right plot. I was hoping The Dating … Continue reading Book Review: The Dating Charade
As much as I'm not the type of person who reads my horoscope religiously, I am someone who is married to the type of person who reads his horoscope every day. As far as I can tell, he doesn't base any major life decisions on what the stars are telling him, but I've learned a … Continue reading Book Review: Star-Crossed
When I saw the cover for Mercy Road by Ann Howard Creely on NetGalley, from the same publishing house that published one of my favourite books of this year, The Beantown Girls, I knew I had to read it. Instead of being about women helping during World War II, this one was about women ambulance … Continue reading Book Review: Mercy Road
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
