Book Review: Perfect On Paper

23rd Feb 202130th Mar 20212 Comments

I wonder if I'll ever hit an age where I'm "too old" to enjoy reading YA. When I was younger, I thought it might be when I became a parent, but now that that ship's sailed, I'm hoping the answer is never (though maybe by the time my son's a teenager, my opinion will change). … Continue reading Book Review: Perfect On Paper

My hiatus ended up being a little more extended than originally planned, but I'm back and ready to tackle some great books that I've missed and that are coming out early next year, the first of which being The Guest List by Lucy Foley.

Book Review: Field Notes on Love

I remember hearing a story a few years back about a guy—from Toronto!—who was supposed to travel with is girlfriend, but they had broken up, so he was looking for someone with the same name to travel with him, since the tickets were non-transferable. I found someone, and they were going to document their trip … Continue reading Book Review: Field Notes on Love

Happy New Year! And welcome to the first book I completed in 2020.

Thank you for reading! The book cover to … Continue reading Book Review: Every Other Weekend

Book Review: Things You Save in a Fire

19th Aug 201918th Aug 20193 Comments

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

Book Review: Surprise Me

For a person who's read as many books as I have, and for someone who loves this genre, I really haven't read that many books by Sophie Kinsella. I haven't touched the Shopaholic series, and I think I've maybe read two of her other books, but I really do enjoy her writing. When my friend … Continue reading Book Review: Surprise Me
