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…

Special Feature/Excerpt: Rocky Mountain Journey (Sisters of the Rockies #3) by Misty M Beller
When I saw this book was coming out, my mind immediately loved the idea of a wilderness/frontier romance but this was a new to me author with a couple of other books in the series under her belt so I was hesitant to dive in since I wasn’t sure if this was a book that I could read as a stand alone or not! I decided to do an except instead but now that I have read it I am sad I didn’t opt for a review! It sounds like it’s going to be do good and I love the writing style! After reading a few other reviews it sounds…

Special Feature and Excerpt: Every Time We Say Goodbye (Jane Austen Society #3) by Natalie Jenner
Reading the Jane Austen Society books has been a fun little way to revisit some of my favorite Austen novels but in a new way with a more modern-ish twist. I read the first book in the series a few years ago and for me it was just ok, but then I read the second book and it started to grow on me as a series! I love that each book, while part of a larger series, can be read on their own. And the book are not necessarily Austen retellings but rather their own unique story with Austen being more of a backdrop for the larger story. This book…

Review: The Tuscan Daughter by Tessa Harris
I have been a long time Tessa Harris fan! I read a few of her standalone books over the years and always feel like it was time well spent! I have also enjoyed her mystery series! It’s rare when an author can seamlessly cross over between different genres! She writes with knowledge on several topics and I have been looking forward to this one since I was first approached about it! I couldn’t wait to check it out! This book takes us to Italy during WWII and gives us interesting insight into the resistance movement in Italy during that time. I don’t really have much background knowledge about the politics…

Review: What the Mountains Remember by Joy Callaway
I love the Edwardian era. I love the hats, the dresses, and the history! There aren’t that many books set during that time period so when I see one come up for review, I usually jump on it! This particular author is a new to me author and while I have heard of some of her books, I haven’t read any of them yet! So when I saw this book up for review, I was eager for the time period/setting and because I love discovering new to me authors! To be honest though, this setting didn’t really appeal to me—a new hotel, the Grove Park Inn in the North Carolina…
