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
I generally don't like books that are "slow burns." I find that either you get so much of the characters pining after each other without telling each other how they feel like it's just like, come on already, or that there is no chemistry and then all of a sudden these characters are together just … Continue reading Book Review: The Slowest Burn
Emma Lord is one of those authors who has a couple of books that I actually think about every so often. Tweet Cute was really, well, cute and Begin Again captured my heart. Heck, even Getaway List has a good premise that I enjoyed. When I saw that she was venturing out of YA and … Continue reading Book Review: The Break-Up Pact
If you've been following me at all, you know I'm a big fan of Kelley Armstrong's. In fact, she's usually the writer I read to change it up and not read a light, funny romantic comedy (which is what I tend to pick up more than anything). When I saw that she was writing a … Continue reading Book Review: Finding Mr. Write
I have always loved the idea of being a screenwriter. I'm not really sure why because, contrary to writing this blog and my chosen career path, I don't really love writing all that much. I don't think I'm all that good at it. That being said, the thought of writing for TV fascinates me, and … Continue reading Book Review: The Rom-Commers
I watch a lot of reality television—almost a disgusting number of shows. And they're mostly competition shows, like The Amazing Race and Big Brother, or dating shows, like Love is Blind and The Ultimatum. So when I came across the premise for Christine Riccio's Attached at the Hip (Survivor mixed with The Bachelor?!), I was … Continue reading Book Review: Attached at the Hip
I love a series that doesn't start to lose steam once it's a few books in. So far, I've read Kelley Armstrong's A Rip Through Time as well as the second book in the series The Poisoner's Ring (and, actually, a novella that is book 2.5 in the series called Cocktails & Chloroform that I didn't review … Continue reading Book Review: Disturbing the Dead
Mazey Eddings is a writer that I've been following for a little while now. Though I didn't read her entire "A Brush with Love" series, Late Bloomer will be the third book of hers that I read. I couldn't connect with Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake, but I really liked Lizzie's friend Indira, so I read … Continue reading Book Review: Late Bloomer
Sophie Gonzales is a writer whom I've followed a little bit since 2021. I haven't gone back to read her back catalogue, but I've requested anything new since then. She writes YA, which is a genre that I'm not sure is quite for me anymore (except maybe in the fantasy realm), but I'm going to … Continue reading Book Review: The Perfect Guy Doesn’t Exist
It was not that long ago that I was reviewing Erin Hahn’s Friends Don't Fall In Love where I was praising the fact that I liked that the author's characters weren't straight out of college...and then she comes out with a YA book with characters right out of high school. Despite this, I was really … Continue reading Book Review: Even If It Breaks Your Heart
