It's been a long time since I've read a series—at least one that intentionally picks up where the previous book left off. So when I received the ARC for Kelley Armstrong's A Rip Through Time last year, I was actually a little disappointed that there wasn't a conclusion to the big mystery and that I was going … Continue reading Book Review: The Poisoner’s Ring
Every time I come across the enemies-to-lovers trope I'm on board to read the book. My husband would tell you it's probably because I show my love through teasing, so I come by it honestly...but this isn't about me. I read The Wedding Season by Katy Birchall exactly a year ago today and I thought … Continue reading Book Review: The Last Word
Though she's been writing for a long time, I only came across Kelley Armstrong when I received an ARC for A Rip Through Time last year—and though I don't usually read mysteries, I powered through it and loved it. I told myself I wanted to read more of her stuff, especially standalones, so when I … Continue reading Book Review: Someone Is Always Watching
I was contacted by St. Martin's Press to read the final book in the "A Brush with Love" series, though I had only read the second one, Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake, at that point. Though I wasn't blown away by it, I did like the writing and there were some spicy scenes that I enjoyed … Continue reading Book Review: The Plus One
Renaissance festivals have always been so intriguing to me. Though I've never been, I love the idea of the middle ages and even Medieval Times is a throwback that I can definitely get behind. A Knight's Tale with Heath Ledger? One of my faves. It's the corniness and the way people just get so on … Continue reading Book Review: The Renaissance of Gwen Hathaway
I have been enjoying the Amazon First Reads that feature Asian and Indian culture—I’ve been learning a lot. When I saw that The Direction of the Wind by Mansi Shah was about a pair of Indian women being transported to Paris, a city I am a little familiar with (and with a bit of a … Continue reading Book Review: The Direction of the Wind
I'm not going to lie, the Amazon First Reads haven't been doing that well for me lately, but I had two left to read so I figured I'd just power through them and give it a shot. The plot for The Chemistry of Love by Sariah Wilson sounded silly—fake dating is often so messy and … Continue reading Book Review: The Chemistry of Love
I didn't get to read as many holiday books as I wanted before Christmas came along, so when I noticed that Five Winters by Kitty Johnson was on the Amazon First reads list for December, I was hoping it could pull the holiday feeling into January for me without being strictly a Christmas storyline. It … Continue reading Book Review: Five Winters
Emma Lord's Tweet Cute is a book I recommend to anyone who is interested in YA or who wants to see if they could be into it, so when I saw Begin Again (hello, Taylor Swift reference!), I knew I had to get my hands on an ARC to review. Between the promise of pirate … Continue reading Book Review: Begin Again
Last year I rang in the new year reading Oona Out of Order, a loose New Year's–themed book that was one of my top reads of the year. I decided that from now on, I always want my first book of the year to be focused on New Year's Eve. This brought me to This … Continue reading Book Review: This Time Next Year
