  • 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…

One of the books that is out now and catching my eye is this one! This book sounds like a wonderful read full of emotion and heart about family. This is a new to me author but one that has a large following of fans who rave about her books. If you are looking for something about families but that packs more of an emotional punch then this might be just the book you are looking for right now!

  • 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!

Today I have all the info for this book which is out tomorrow and even though I only have a feature up today, you better…
