Book Review: Make Your Move

2nd Jan 20203rd Jan 2020Leave a comment

Ah! I've officially fallen behind in my reviews. I'm going to try to make it my 2020 resolution to stay on top of it, but with the baby coming in 6-ish weeks, I can't promise I'll be great at it at the beginning. I will do my best! That being said, I was drawn to … Continue reading Book Review: Make Your Move

Book Review: The Dating Charade

16th Dec 2019Leave a comment

I will admit I've been a little slower at the posting lately—sorry, everyone!—but as I write this I'm almost 32 weeks pregnant, and I'm finding it takes a very specific kind of story to keep me from falling asleep...and I'm having a harder and harder time finding the right plot. I was hoping The Dating … Continue reading Book Review: The Dating Charade

Book Review: Star-Crossed

25th Nov 201913th Mar 2022Leave a comment

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

WWI Ambulances: Mercy Road by Ann Howard Creel (The Modest Reader)

Book Review: Mercy Road

12th Nov 201925th Feb 2022Leave a comment

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

Book Review: Twice in a Blue Moon

21st Oct 201921st Oct 20191 Comment

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

Cupid's Arrow by Mick C on Flickr: Cupid's Match by Lauren Palphreyman (The Modest Reader)

Book Review: Cupid’s Match

25th Sep 201925th Sep 2019Leave a comment

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

Book Review: Kiss

22nd Jul 201922nd Jul 2019Leave a comment

When I saw on NetGalley that there was a new Jill Mansell novel coming out, I didn't even read the synopsis before I requested it. And I was even more shocked when I got accepted. It is only then that I realized that Kiss is a new release, technically, but it is a reprint from … Continue reading Book Review: Kiss

Book Review: Meet Cute

1st Jul 201921st Jun 2019Leave a comment

Every time I heard the expression "meet cute," I think of the movie, The Holiday when Kate Winslet's character learns about the term from that adorable, old Hollywood writer she helps find his way home. There have been some great meet cutes that I've read lately (My Oxford Year, for example) and I was really … Continue reading Book Review: Meet Cute

Book Review: Roomies

17th Jun 20191 Comment

In a weird turn of events, this is the second week in a row that I'm reviewing a Christina Lauren novel, but this is the book I actually read first, so this is my first experience with their writing. (Yes, I say their because I didn't realize it was a duo penning these stories.) Though … Continue reading Book Review: Roomies

Book Review: The Unhoneymooners

10th Jun 201931st May 20191 Comment

With summer quickly approaching, I'm really into fun, lighter reads these days, and I knew I wouldn't be disappointed with anything by Christina Lauren. From the cover and the title (I find it really clever!) to the premise, I was hooked right from the beginning. The Unhoneymooners just came out on May 14, and if … Continue reading Book Review: The Unhoneymooners
