I love Kelley Armstrong. Her A Rip Through Time series is one of my favourites and her latest rom-com (yes, she wrote a rom-com) Finding Mr. Write is one of my best reads of the year so far. I know she writes a lot of dark stories (sometimes clearly in the realm of horror, sometimes … Continue reading Book Review: I’ll Be Waiting
The past few months have been a little rough around here, so I've been looking for books that will make me smile. I'd heard The Guncle by Steven Rowley mentioned a few times in conversation, and the premise sounded fun, so I thought I'd give it a shot. The synopsis read a bit like a … Continue reading Book Review: The Guncle
This is the second book that I chose for the October Amazon First Reads. I rarely read books that I haven't had on my TBR list for years, that weren't recommended to me or that I haven't scrutinized through NetGalley before deciding whether I wanted to read them. I thought a good twisty murder mystery-type … Continue reading Book Review: Over Her Dead Body
When I'm thinking back to books that I enjoyed that take place at certain events over a long period of time, I immediately think of One Day by David Nicholls, which was really well done (and turned into a pretty good movie, too), so when I saw Ten Years by Pernille Hughes, I was definitely … Continue reading Book Review: Ten Years
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
Another day, another YA story with a beautiful cover that sucked me in. I really appreciate the fact that Wednesday Books are so great to me in giving me advanced copies of their books—though I did miss the release date on You've Reached Sam because of this crazy year. I was drawn to this book … Continue reading Book Review: You’ve Reached Sam
No matter how much older I get or how much more I seem to need to "adult," YA always has my heart. The characters are well developed, the world-building is usually very well done, and young people tend to emote and feel things in a way that adults just aren't allowed to do (or feel … Continue reading Book Review: Where It All Lands
I didn't even know there was a sequel to Cecelia Ahern's P.S. I Love You until I was looking to stream the movie somewhere and went into a deep dive when I couldn't find it. I remember reading the first one just before the movie had come out, and it stuck with me, despite me … Continue reading Book Review: Postscript
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
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
