Is it just me or when the title of a book mirrors the lyrics of a song, do you get the song stuck in your head in a loop? Ever since I picked up Maybe This Time by Jill Mansell (in stores June 4), I have Liza Minnelli's voice in my head—not that I ever … Continue reading Book Review: Maybe This Time
I've been quietly anticipating the next installment of Sally Thorne's work ever since I read The Hating Game last year. I know I was a little late on picking it up (a friend recommended it to me when I asked about light beach-read-type books), but it was definitely one of my favourite reads from last … Continue reading Book Review: 99 Percent Mine

My second book of the year brings me to England, a place that I was lucky enough to call home for eight months back when I was in university. Though I was living an hour and a half outside of London, I got up to the capital a few times a month and truly fell … Continue reading Book Review: The Light Over London
I will admit that I came across this book knowing absolutely nothing about it other than the description on the book jacket. (And that beautiful cover—it's breathtaking!). The book was recommended to me by a number of people in my book club, and it happened to be on sale in the Kindle store over the … Continue reading Book Review: The Summer Wives
