Basically, since the beginning of the pandemic, I don't often seek out books that aren't going to be super light, super fun and something easy to breeze through. Still, when I read about Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin (author of The Storied Like of A.J. Firky, which I have not read yet, but of which … Continue reading Book Review: Tomorrow, And Tomorrow, And Tomorrow
I have an exciting giveaway coming up on my Instagram this week for Sara Downing's latest book (that comes out today!) called I Let You Fall. It's a British story about a girl who finds herself in a coma and has an out-of-body experience while she tries to recover in the hospital. Sara is best … Continue reading Book Review: I Let You Fall
Summer's basically in full swing, which means it's time to bring on the beach reads—and what a better way than with a book that takes place at a hotel that is specifically for people who want to hit the beach for the summer on Nantucket. The Hotel Nantucket is written by Nantucket's queen bee, Elin … Continue reading Book Review: The Hotel Nantucket
If you read this blog regularly, you'll think I'm in a million book clubs based on how I start these intros, but I promise you that I'm only in two. The Night Shift was one group's pick for March, and though I couldn't get my hands on a copy until now, I still wanted to … Continue reading Book Review: The Night Shift
My mom group started a book club this month and Lucky by Marissa Stapley is the first one on the docket. With Marissa being from Toronto, this book has been on my radar since before it was even an official ARC, and then when it became a Reese's Book Club pick, I knew I would … Continue reading Book Review: Lucky

Though I haven't had a chance to delve into this book (yet!), early reviews are saying anyone who has any … Continue reading Book Excerpt: Once in a Lifetime
Pulled from the archives of 2020 is The Right Swipe by Alisha Rai. I was never on any dating apps (I literally joined Tinder for a day and was both overwhelmed and terrified so deleted it right away), and luckily I found my husband (online, ironically) before all the variations became more popular, but I'm … Continue reading Book Review: The Right Swipe
There's something great about going into a book with no plot details and seeing where it takes you. The publicist reached out to me about this one, comparing it to My Oxford Year and Head Over Heels, both books that I absolutely loved, so I agreed to read it without even reading the synopsis. The … Continue reading Book Review: The Treehouse on Dog River Road
Historical romance is not one of my favourite genres to read. I like a good historical fiction from time to time, sure (generally centered around the world wars) but I don't read a lot of mass-market romances because they aren't usually my thing. Despite this, when I read what Alexis Hall, writer of one of … Continue reading Book Review: A Lady for a Duke
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
