Having been in isolation for more than 60 days now (weird timing with having a newborn), I'm wanting to get through some of the hundreds of books in my TBR pile that I own instead of getting ARCs off NetGalley. I'm still not reading as much as I could be because I'm so dang tired, … Continue reading Book Review: Red, White & Royal Blue
This is the first time I ever had someone from a publishing house get in touch with me about reviewing a book that I had actually already heard about and was excited to read. Obviously, I jumped at the chance. From the synopsis to the beautiful cover for Tweet Cute by Emma Lord (which hits … Continue reading Book Review: Tweet Cute
As much as I'm not the type of person who reads my horoscope religiously, I am someone who is married to the type of person who reads his horoscope every day. As far as I can tell, he doesn't base any major life decisions on what the stars are telling him, but I've learned a … Continue reading Book Review: Star-Crossed
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
I have never read anything by Colleen Hoover. I know. You should be shocked. I had actually never even heard of her until I started poking around the bookstagram community... and I don't know how I managed it. When I asked where a good place to start was, I was told It Ends With Us. … Continue reading Book Review: It Ends With Us
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'm always hesitant to read books that have a ton of hype behind them, especially when it's from an author that I am unfamiliar with. I worry that I will have such high expectations and that there is no way I can be anything but disappointed. I just kept hearing from people everywhere (including my … Continue reading Book Review: Daisy Jones and the Six
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
