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
By some weird coincidence, this is the third book in a row I've read by a Lauren, though this one is much more familiar to me, since I seem to devour anything Christina Lauren have written in a day or two. And their latest, Twice in a Blue Moon (out tomorrow, October 22), is no … Continue reading Book Review: Twice in a Blue Moon
It had been a while since I read a good-old dystopian YA fiction. Books like The Hunger Games series and Kiera Cass's The Selection series are some of my favourite examples of stories that I will keep coming back to, even as I continue into my 30s. I've mentioned before that YA doesn't really only … Continue reading Book Review: The Memory Thief
When I saw that there was a romance novel about Cupid that was doing so well on Wattpad that they were publishing it, I was definitely intrigued. I mean, when that many people already love it, it has to be a good read! So I took a read of Lauren Palphreyman's novel (in stores October … Continue reading Book Review: Cupid’s Match
I was a little worried going into Things You Save in a Fire (in stores now!), because I had heard nothing but amazing things about it, and I had high expectations after reading How To Walk Away a couple of weeks ago. I knew I needed something to break the reading slump I've been in … Continue reading Book Review: Things You Save in a Fire
I don't really too many thrilling or suspenseful novels anymore. I went through a phase around the time of Gone Girl (you know, with everyone else) where I read a lot of them, but I seem to prefer lighter reads these days, or things that are more heartwarming, which could just be because of the … Continue reading Book Review: Lost You
I love a good retelling of a classic novel, especially when it's part of a story that I really enjoyed. I had to read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll for a children's literature class I did in university, and though it dragged on a bit for me, I really liked the characters, the … Continue reading Book Review: Ever Alice
When I saw on NetGalley that there was a new Jill Mansell novel coming out, I didn't even read the synopsis before I requested it. And I was even more shocked when I got accepted. It is only then that I realized that Kiss is a new release, technically, but it is a reprint from … Continue reading Book Review: Kiss
With summer quickly approaching, I'm really into fun, lighter reads these days, and I knew I wouldn't be disappointed with anything by Christina Lauren. From the cover and the title (I find it really clever!) to the premise, I was hooked right from the beginning. The Unhoneymooners just came out on May 14, and if … Continue reading Book Review: The Unhoneymooners
I've heard about Jennifer Weiner since Good In Bed in 2001, but at the time I was too young to read her, and I strangely haven't gotten around to reading anything of hers since. I was drawn to Mrs. Everything (in stores June 11) because of the beautiful cover—and because I saw who the author … Continue reading Book Review: Mrs. Everything
