This book is a little rusty in my memory, since I read it back in 2020, but I wanted to make sure I got the review in since it was a translated book and I know I certainly have not read enough of those in my lifetime. Your Perfect Year was originally written in German, … Continue reading Book Review: Your Perfect Year
I'd been trying to get my hands on a copy of Every Summer After since the moment I saw it become available on NetGalley. Though I don't know the author, Carley Fortune, personally, we actually both worked at the same company at the same time and I would see her in the kitchenette from time … Continue reading Book Review: Every Summer After
This is another book I read back in 2020, but this one has stuck with me a little bit more than the last. Opposite of Always by Justin A. Reynolds gave me time-travelling Groundhog Day vibes (but with YA stakes) that I've enjoyed before—and it didn't get past me that the characters' names were Jack … Continue reading Book Review: Opposite of Always
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
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
I have been hearing about Such A Fun Age by Kiley Reid basically since the beginning of the pandemic. I knew the basic premise of the story and I suspected the subject matter was going to be quite heavy—especially with the importance and the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement and the (necessary) push … Continue reading Book Review: Such A Fun Age
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
I reviewed Dahlia Adler's Cool For The Summer last year—just before I went on my impromptu hiatus—and it was such a joy to read that when I saw Home Field Advantage on NetGalley (coming out June 7), I knew I had to try to get my hands on a copy. Adler's writing is fun and … Continue reading Book Review: Home Field Advantage
Wish You Were Here was the February read for my online book club and I won't lie: I wasn't super jazzed to read it. I'm not sure I've read anything from Jodi Picoult (maybe something when I was in high school but nothing is coming to mind) but what I do know is that usually … Continue reading Book Review: Wish You Were Here
I don't read a lot of mystery or detective stories—and after I read a good one I'm always wondering why that is because I generally enjoy them. The same goes for historical fiction. When I came across the description for A Rip Through Time (actually, let's face it, it was actually the beautiful cover that … Continue reading Book Review: A Rip Through Time
