Review: The Girl from Widow Hills by Megan Miranda (Audible Edition)
For the month of December, my book club decided to read this book and I had seen a lot of reviews about this one and was super excited to check it out. I have never read anything by this author before but I have seen a number of her books and often thought about picking them up to see what all the buzz was about, but then for some reason fell back to other authors that I knew or had read before. Well after reading this one, Megan Miranda will be an author I read more often. This was a great read and I was often sitting there wondering what…

Review: In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren
This book was my December Book of the Month and I couldn’t wait to read it. I cleared my December reading calendar so I could enjoy all the holiday books this year and this one was top on my list! I have never read anything by Christina Lauren but I am about to buy all her books! Holiday rom-coms are my one of my weaknesses. I mean, I used to mock my friends who watch all the Hallmark holiday movies, but then I watched one and now I secretly stayed up late to sneak in a couple during the holiday season…..plus I may or may not have watched Love Actually…

Review: The Garden of Promises and Lies (Found Things #3) by Paula Brackston
It’s been a hot minute since I read one of Paula Brackston’s novels. I have read almost all of her books though and I have loved many many many of the stories. This novel is the third in her Found Things series which I have really enjoyed thus far. I was so excited to see that this one was coming out this month and while I tried to keep my calendar open for all the Christmas books this month, I made an exception for this one and added it to my December calendar because I simply love her books! If you love historical fiction with some time travel and paranormal/magic…

Take Two Review: Christmas in Vermont by Anita Hughes
Sometimes I accidentally pick up a book I have already read and don’t realize it until I am part way through. I picked this one up again because I adored the cover and I am all about the holiday romances right now and I know that I love Anita Hughes so I grabbed this one and about a third of the way through I was like wait, this sounds familiar? I checked my Goodreads and sure enough there it was….I read it last year! But I was enjoying it just as much this second time around so I just kept right on reading! I am so glad I got to…

Special Feature: Truth, Lies, and Second Dates by MaryJanice Davidson
Who doesn’t love a rom-com, especially during the holiday season?! While this book might not be holiday specific, it’s being released during the holidays and I for one love rom-coms all the more during the holiday season! I am so excited to share a bit about this book with you all today. It’s out today. At first glance it doesn’t sounds like a typical rom-com—-I mean the main love interest is a medical examiner and the plot centers around a cold case murder, but I have high hopes for this one being a rom-com. Many reviewers have noted that the characters are witty and bring humor to what would normally…

Review: A Heartfelt Christmas Promise by Nancy Naigle
Just about every holiday season, I read one of Nancy Naigle’s holiday romances and I have never been disappointed. It’s like reading a Hallmark Movie, you just know without a doubt that you are going to read something sweet, fun, romantic, and full of holiday cheer! When this book was released in October, I just didn’t have room on my calendar to review it. But this year I did something I never do. I left my December calendar really open so that I could read a bunch of holiday romances! And this one was at the top of my list to read! I could easily have finished it in a…

Take Two Review: The Art of Theft (Lady Sherlock #4) by Sherry Thomas
I read this book last October and at that time, I was not really into the Lady Sherlock series. I just couldn’t get into the first book but then this one came up and I was intrigued and wanted to give it another go. When I read it, I really enjoyed it much more than the first book. While I hadn’t read the other books in the series, I didn’t feel overly lost and thought it was a fun diverting mystery. I ultimately decided to go back and re-read the series, but it wasn’t too high up on my reading priority list but then I read the fifth book this…

Review: The Hollow of Fear (Lady Sherlock #3) by Sherry Thomas
I am 100% a mood reader and when I started this series I just wasn’t feeling it at all, which bothered me. By all accounts this should have been a series that I would love and I just didn’t when I read the first book the first time. But I decided after reading one of the later books in the series, that I maybe hadn’t given this series the chance that it deserved. So I went back and re-read the first book and for whatever reason, found it much more enjoyable this time around. So here I am on the third book in the series and I am 100% hooked…

Review: Poppy Redfern and the Fatal Flyers (A Woman of WWII Mystery #2) by Tessa Arlen
It’s been a while since I have read anything by Tessa Arlen but I have loved her Lady Montford mystery series and I was excited to start her latest series featuring new heroine, Poppy Redfern. I started reading the first book when it first came out but then something happened to my copy and I couldn’t locate it for months. I have a feeling mom or sister took it off my nightstand but I have yet to discover incriminating evidence. Sadly I picked up something else and got distracted and never went back to Poppy Redfern but with this one coming out, I was really excited to dive back into…
