Review: Hex by Rebecca Dinerstein Knight
When this book first popped up on my radar I was screaming inside YES! I was drawn in by the cover and description and when I started reading it, I felt like it was going to be a solid and different writing style. I love science and botany and this book promised that as well as some dark academia which I thought sounded like a unique mix so obviously I went into this book with some pretty high expectations. While I don’t know that I loved this one, I did enjoy some aspects and would gladly read something else by the author in the future and let me tell you…

Re-Share Review: Someone We Know by Shari Lapena
Last year I read Someone We Know when it first came out and today it’s out in paperback! So to celebrate, I am re-sharing my review today! If you love suspense and thriller novels, Lapena is a great choice. I have only read a couple of her books but I have enjoyed each of them. I am looking forward to her upcoming novels as well! Be sure to pop pick up a copy of the paperback release today and see what I thought of this book when I originally read it! It held my interest and kept me guessing for sure!

Review: The Library of Legends by Janie Chang
This book was on my radar well before it was a Book of the Month pick for April. In fact I have been looking forward to reading this book for months! This cover is absolutely stunning and this book sounded like a new and exciting piece of a little known time in history. I haven’t read a lot of Asian historical fiction beyond some of the more well known titles like Memoirs of Geisha and Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. Memoirs of a Geisha was one of my favorite reads when I read it years ago and for a while I bought a ton of historical fiction set in…

Review: Love Poems for Anxious People by John Kenney
I absolutely loved John Kenney’s book of poems, Love Poems for Married People. There was so much truth in those poems and I laughed several times. His follow up book of poems, Love Poems for People with Children was also funny, but the Married People book is still my absolute favorite. I have gifted his books of poems multiple times and I am sure I will be gifting this one to friends in the future. When I saw that this book was coming out, I knew it would be a great read. He writes with such raw realism and during this crazy uncertain time, what could possibly be better than…

Review: The Lost Boys of London (Bianca Goddard Mysteries #5) by Mary Lawrence
Bianca Goddard is a completely new to me sleuth, last year was the first time I discovered her and it was the fourth book that I picked up. I was told that each book in the series could be read as a standalone, so I was excited to dive in, even if I was skeptical. I was thrilled that the book was indeed possible to read as a standalone and thought it was a very interesting and enjoyable series so I was excited to read the next book, even if I haven’t gone back and read the other books in the series. This book sounded exceptionally good as it is…

Review: Promised by Leah Garriott (Audible Edition)
A few months back I did a special feature on this book and I just couldn’t get the cover and description out of my mind! I knew my review schedule was packed, so I downloaded it to listen to when I had errands to run. That’s the thing I love most about audiobooks, there are plenty of days that I have to run errands or just need to get out of the house and go for a drive during the quarantine or days where I have house work to do, rather than sit and read, I multitask with audiobooks. I rarely accept audiobooks for review because I want to pick…

Review: Stories We Never Told by Sonja Yoerg
Sonja Yoerg is another author that I have been a long time fan of, though I have to admit I was a little worried about this one. Yoerg usually writes more women’s fiction, but this one was marketed as more of a thriller. But I did keep an open mind. I hate how some authors get pigeon holed into writing a certain genre, just because an author is known for writing women’s fiction doesn’t mean she can’t write anything else right? While Yoerg might be known for a certain genre, I would argue that she should be known for her ability to write complex characters that truly stand out rather…

Review: Feels Like Falling by Kristy Woodson Harvey
When Kristy Woodson Harvey’s Peachtree Bluff series ended last year, I was so sad but at the same time looking forward to what she came up with next. Harvey has such a great writing style that is refreshing, charming, and heartfelt so I knew that whatever she had up her sleeve was going to be outstanding. When I saw that it was going to once again tap into the importance and power of friendships, I couldn’t have been more thrilled if I tried!

Review: Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston (Audible Edition)
This book has been all over my social media, especially my Instagram. I even ordered a Book of the Month that I didn’t really want just so I could get this book as an add on when I missed it in December when it was the selection. My sister also sent me a copy of this book for Valentine’s Day and as soon as I started reading, I downloaded the Audible Edition so I could keep reading even while I was in the car. The Audible narration is fantastic by the way. Sometimes I find it difficult to read and listen to the same book together but with this one…

Review: Duke Darcy’s Castle (Dare to Defy #3) by Syrie James
I have recently had a lot of luck with historical/Regency romances and when this book came along I was excited to see if my luck would hold! Admittedly though, this cover didn’t speak to me in any way. In fact it was a little confusing. The pose is a little awkward and a pose of that nature is usually reserved for more saucy romances but in this one, the characters are fully clothed and it made me think more clean romance. But either way, I thought the summary sounded fun and I especially liked the crumbling castle element so I was excited to check it out and see if it…
