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
When I saw the picks for December's Amazon First Reads, there was an ad for a free holiday short story on Kindle Unlimited, so I thought it would be the perfect addition to my lineup since I knew I was cutting it close for reading another whole Christmas book this year. Resting Scrooge Face (um, … Continue reading Book Review: Resting Scrooge Face
It's the holidays, which means it's time to dig into the winter and Christmas-themed books I've been holding onto all year. I started with We Met in December by Rosie Curtis...only to realize that what I meant to read was A Day in December by Josie Silver—whoops! I guess that one will have to wait … Continue reading Book Review: We Met in December
If you know me at all, you know I love a good friends-to-lovers trope (not as much as enemies-to-lovers, but we need to change it up every so often). When two people aren't looking for love and are so drawn to each other that they can't stay apart...those are the kinds of stories I want … Continue reading Book Review: A Guide to Being Just Friends
I've been trying to read more books this year from voices and points of view that are different from my own. There's still a lot of work to be done, but when I saw that Mindy Kaling was throwing her weight behind The Vibrant Years by Sonali Dev *and* that it was an Amazon First … Continue reading Book Review: The Vibrant Years
I have been counting down the days until I could get my hands on Julia Whelan's sophomore novel. My Oxford Year is one of my favourite books and I couldn't wait to see what Whelan was going to come out with next. When I read the synopsis and saw that it was a book about … Continue reading Book Review: Thank You For Listening
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
Though I have only ever read one other of her novels, Sophie Gonzales has become one of those writers that I purposely follow to see if they have anything new coming out. I find her voice so refreshing and humourous—and she brings a different point of view to the typical young adult romance experience. When … Continue reading Book Review: Never Ever Getting Back Together
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
