  • Re-Post Review: Coming Home for Christmas (Haven Point #10) by RaeAnne Thayne

    With the holidays right around the corner and I’ve been busy sharing all kinds of fun holiday themed reads with you guys and I wouldn’t feel right about not sharing this book again! I read this one way back in September when it first came out so it might not have been on your radar then but it should be now that the holidays are upon us! So today I thought I would re-share my review of this lovely holiday romance with you guys so you can take a quick peak about what I loved as well as to share a little sneak peak with you guys! Be sure to…

  • Review: The Clergyman’s Wife: A Pride and Prejudice Novel by Molly Greeley

    Charlotte Lucas always seemed like the least interesting character in Pride and Prejudice to me. We barely saw her in most of the story and though she was a good friend to Lizzy, the last we saw of her she was basically walking away with Elizabeth’s best hope of a husband (at that point any way). So when I saw that this one was coming out, I was eager to see how the author would portray Charlotte in this reimagining. It sounded so promising and after I read the pitch, I found myself wondering—what DID happen to Charlotte Lucas and Mr Collins?! Needless to say, I was eager to see…

  • Review: The Queen of Nothing (The Folk of the Air #3) by Holly Black

    Here we are, the last review for the last book in this horribly addicting series. As I mentioned in my review of The Cruel Prince, this was a series that I was sure that I wouldn’t like so thus I avoided it like the plague. But I couldn’t deny the hype for the final installment of the series, The Queen of Nothing. My IG feed was saturated with pics of this book and people re-reading the series again in preparation so I found it extra hard to resist reading the first book. After a couple of chapters of book one, I knew I was a hooked and ordered the remaining…

  • Review: The Wicked King (The Folk of the Air #2) by Holly Black

    So as soon as I finished the first book in this series, The Cruel Prince, I knew I immediately needed the next two books so I ordered them before I was done with the first book. I will say this, it’s been a long time since I have woken up early to read a book, let alone finishing a series of three books  in four days. But this series made me fall back in love with YA fantasy and made me love early morning reading sessions again! I’ll be honest, it’s hard for me to write this review because the three books all blurred together because I read them so…

  • Review: Christmas from the Heart by Sheila Roberts

    Sheila Roberts is another prolific writer with a huge fan base and a number of titles to her name. I have only read a couple of her books but found them to be enjoyable and light. I wanted something relaxing after coming off of a few fast pace reads as well as something to get me into the holiday spirit….this book totally fit the bill. I originally only did a special feature for this one as I wasn’t sure that I could fit it in to my review schedule, but I thought it sounded so fun that I decided to make some room and squeeze it in for the holidays.

  • REVIEW: The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell

    Lisa Jewell is a wonderful writer and when I saw this book come up for review, I needed little convincing. The cover is beautiful and the premise for the story sounds great as well. This is my first read by her but I am not a stranger to her books. I have a couple of friends who have read them all and are constantly thrusting the latest Jewell release into my hands. I decided that this was going to be my first read by her and I couldn’t be more excited. Plus it was all over IG and it was also the Book of the Month pick so I knew…

  • Review: The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air #1) by Holly Black

    I saw The Cruel Prince all over my IG feed for months. I see it on all the recommended reading lists and people are raving about it. But I was determined to not like this one. I love YA fantasy just as much as the next person, but I went through a long period where that was all I read and I frankly got burnt out on it so I took a lengthy break. Then this one started popping up all over and I was convinced that it was overrated and sure to disappoint….also I am not into fairies like not even at all so I was sure this on…

  • Review: Lady Takes the Case (Manor Cat Mystery #1) by Eliza Casey

    As soon as this book appeared on my desk I was eager to read it. I thought the cover was pretty and I love lady detective novels so basically this book was a must read for me. I was looking for something light and just fun since I had come off reading a few heaver read, it sounded perfect. This book boasts a well known romance writer writing under a pseudonym, though we are never told who the well known writer is. I was curious to see how that translated into a mystery novel, and I was admittedly even more curious about who said writer was.

  • Review: The Last Affair by Margot Hunt

    As many of us know, domestic thrillers are quite the rage right now. I’ve read some that were outstanding and others that were just ok, but I’ll be completely honest…..even the just ok ones fascinate me! There is something about taking a peak into the lives of your neighbors and coworkers that just never gets old. You know the whole, the grass is greener situation never ceases to disappoint me. This book of course is a domestic thriller, but I thought it sounded promising. Torrid affair, perfect suburban family, secrets, lies, and of course murder. I couldn’t wait to start turning the pages of this one!

  • Review: The Duke and I (Bridgertons #1) by Julia Quinn

    Do you ever have one of those days where you are just randomly searching Goodreads for ‘recommended’ reads and one just jumps out at you for no apparent reason? Well that’s what happened with this book. I saw it and normally would have kept scrolling but I liked the cover and saw that it was soon to be a Netflix show and I wanted to read something romantic so why not I thought! I had never read anything by Julia Quinn before but I have heard she is known for her snappy dialogue and charming romances so I downloaded the book and became instantly distracted by it and the characters.
