Review: What the Mountains Remember by Joy Callaway
I love the Edwardian era. I love the hats, the dresses, and the history! There aren’t that many books set during that time period so when I see one come up for review, I usually jump on it! This particular author is a new to me author and while I have heard of some of her books, I haven’t read any of them yet! So when I saw this book up for review, I was eager for the time period/setting and because I love discovering new to me authors! To be honest though, this setting didn’t really appeal to me—a new hotel, the Grove Park Inn in the North Carolina…

Special Feature and Excerpt: These Tangled Threads by Sarah Loudin Thomas
This author is a new to me author which is one of the reasons why I wanted to check this book out! I love discovering new to me authors! Often I have authors that I already know and love or maybe a good friend or family member recommends someone to me, but overall I have kind of my ‘set go to’ authors. Which is all well and good but one of the reasons I started book reviewing is because I wanted to find new authors. This author has written quite a new books so she is not new to the writing world but new on my radar! This book is…

Review: The Love Remedy (The Damsels of Discovery #1) by Elizabeth Everett
I always love a good historical romance novel especially when it’s part of a new series! I was super excited to read this one and knowing it was by an established author made me even more excited to read it. But I have to admit—I have been having a really hard time getting into Everett’s other series The Secret Scientists of London. By all accounts, the Secret Scientists of London should be a series that is 100% up my alley but I have tried reading the books and they just haven’t held my interest. Now I know I am in the minority with readers of that series. But just because…

Mastering the Art of Analyzing Literature for Captivating Book Reviews
The art of analyzing literature is akin to unraveling a tapestry of thoughts, themes, and theories woven by an author. It requires a keen eye for detail, a deep understanding of linguistic nuances, and an appreciation for the cultural context in which the literature was produced. For those who take on the mantle of writing book reviews, it becomes imperative to master this art in order to convey the essence of a work to potential readers. It is not merely about liking or disliking a book; it is about dissecting its anatomy and understanding its heartbeat. Embarking on a journey through the pages of a novel or the stanzas of…

Review: A Noble Scheme (The Imposters #2) by Rosanna M White
This author is a new to me author but I am already looking into the other books in this series! From the review pitch, I could see this was part of a series but that it could be read as a standalone which I completely agree with—it can easily be a standalone. But it was so fun and I quickly got sucked in and started looking into the series as a whole! While I know this book is only the second one, I see a third book is planned for November which I am excited to check out! While this is a new to my author, I could see that…

Review: Murder Road by Simone St James
Simone St James is an auto buy author for me. I have read all her books, some multiple times and she is one of my most recommended authors when people are looking for a thriller. Even if you aren’t a fan of ghost stories, her books have a strong thriller/murder mystery component that generally off set the paranormal in the book. This book has been on pre-order for me for MONTHS and I couldn’t wait to read this book. I did read it in one day which is pretty standard for me with her books. This book had a lot of 1990s nostalgia which was a big draw for me.…

Review: A Grave Robbery (Veronica Speedwell #9) by Deanna Raybourn
I discovered author Deanna Raybourn many years ago. I love all her books. She has written some wonderful historical mystery series that I will forever cherish, this series being at the top of that list. Veronica is such a wonderful character and I have loved watching her and Stoker grow together as a couple and in their friendship throughout the course of the series. Naturally this was on the TOP of my TBR list for this year. There have been times though where I have felt like maybe this series could have wrapped up but it is hard to say good bye to characters that you have become attached to.…

Special Feature/Excerpt: Finding Jane Fairfax by Robbin J Peterson
If you have been around my blog for a while, you will know that I am a big Jane Austen fan. I love reading books that are ‘Austen Spin-offs’ if you will. Not necessarily retellings, but books that take characters from her beloved books and give them either an entirely new story or in some cases an actual story. In this case, Jane Fairfax is a character we meet in Emma and she’s mostly a blip in the larger story and the audience rarely thinks of her again. However, author Robbin Peterson gives us something to think about when it comes to Jane Fairfax in her latest book! I haven’t…
