Film Review: Wuthering Heights
Life has been lifeing lately on this blog! While I still find time for the occasional new book and book review, my life has largely been taken over by soccer and mom life things these last couple of years so posts about book reviews etc have been scarce. That doesn’t mean I have abandoned my blog or reading by any means…..it just means pressing pause for now on some things and focusing on this new soccer mom season of life. But that said, you know I couldn’t pass on the opportunity to do a quick review on the new Wuthering Heights film! If you have been around a while then…

Review: Murder in Season (Lady of Letters #3) by Mary Winters
I have loved this series since the first book! I thought it was such a cute series especially with the Lady Agony parts at the beginning of each chapter. It has been a solid, well written, fun series so far. So naturally when this book came up for review it was an easy yes for me! This is a great series for fans of other ‘Lady Detective’ mysteries such as Veronica Speedwell, Lady Darby, or Lady Sherlock. I know when the series came out, Bridgerton was super popular and I feel like every book that was historical fiction has the marketing pitch of ‘the next Bridgerton’, this book included! I…

Special Feature: Across the Ages (Timeless #4) by Gabrielle Meyer
If you know me, you know that I am always on the hunt for new historical fiction books and authors. Gabrielle Meyer is a new to me author, though I can see that she has written the Timeless series (which this book is number four in that series) which has a large following of fans! When I saw that this book was coming out, I was excited to learn more about it, though a little bummed that I was coming into it on book four. I haven’t read the other books so I didn’t want to start a series with the fourth book which is why I opted to do…

Special Feature: Christmas at Sugar Plum Manor by Roseanna M White
Every year I feel like the Christmas seasons gets earlier and earlier! Every time I go into Hobby Lobby, even in August, I always see all the Christmas decor and think ‘OMG is it really time for Christmas?!’. While I might not be ready for Christmas in August or even September, I am usually read for it in mid October! October is when I start my holiday reading and carry it through into the full holiday season! When this book came across my desk over the summer, I was super excited to get it on my mid fall holiday reading schedule! It has all the things I love in it……Christmas,…

The Winged Tiara by J’nell Ciesielski
I have been a HUGE fan of J’nell Ciesielski ever since I read her first book and I have since read just about everything she has put out! She always tells a great romance and provides excellent historical detail. When I saw this book was coming out, it was a no brainer read for me. I have been so busy with just life in general that I have had a hard time balancing book reviews, work, and family life however this is one author that I would clear my schedule for because her writing is THAT GOOD. For me personally, the 1920s isn’t really my era—-I know unpopular opinion! Anytime…

How Reading Books Can Improve Your Academic Writing Skills
How does reading improve writing? Well, Francine Prose, the famous American novelist and the former president of PEN American Center, once said that she was a huge, huge reader as a kid, and that made her realize how being a writer rests greatly on being a reader.
