Review: Next Year in Havana by Chanel Cleeton (Audible Edition)
This book has been everywhere since it first came out in 2018, but it wasn’t a book that I was dying to read. The time period and setting really isn’t my cup of tea so while it was being met with rave reviews, I wasn’t jumping at the change to read it. Then last year I read the book about the sister, WHEN WE LEFT CUBA, and loved it. I picked up that book on a whim and because everyone kept saying that I simply had to read these books so I read WHEN WE LEFT CUBA. After that I was eager to go back and read this book once…

Review: The Prisoner’s Wife by Maggie Brookes
The first thing that caught my eye about this book was that it was set in the Czech Republic. My husband and I visited that lovely country a few years ago and while we were there we visited a lot historic sights while we were there including the Holocaust museum and the Terezin camp. It was one of the most impactful experiences of my adult life and the rich history of that particularly dark time in history, was vast and humbling. So when I saw this book was set in that part of the world, it was an easy yes!

Review: The Jane Austen Society by Natalie Jenner
This book was an instant yes for me when it came across my desk for review. It looked so incredible and Jane Austen—need I say more? It was also marketed to fans of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society which was a huge favorite of mine last year and I was eager to read something in the same vein. When I started reading this one, it was with the expectation that it would be charming and heart warming just as one of Jane Austen’s novels.

Special Feature: The First Actress by C.W. Gortner
I have been a long time fan of C.W. Gortner. He always writes about such interesting women and with a practiced hand. Whenever I pick up one of his books, I always know I am going to be in for a well researched treat and an interesting story. This latest book sounds just as excellent as his many others and I can’t wait to read this one! If you love historical fiction or just stories about unique and often bold, lesser known women then this is an author you want on your radar!

Review: The Sun Sister (The Seven Sisters #6) by Lucinda Riley
This series is one of my absolute favorites. I adore the Seven Sisters and with each book I am always won over by the sister being featured. Some of the stories are better than others but it’s still an impressive series and never disappoints. When this book arrived, it was massive. The ARC came in at just under 900 pages so easily the longest Seven Sisters book by far and since this is Electra’s story, I didn’t find it surprising at all. I decided to start reading this one early to give myself a lot of time to finish it, but it turns out I only really needed about 6…

Review: Rakes and Roses (Mayfield Family #3) by Josi S. Kilpack
I have recently read two wonderful proper romances by this particular publisher and I was eager to read another. The cover is beautiful and I thought the premise sounded interesting. I haven’t read the other books in the series but from what other reviewers had said, they could each be read as standalone books and I would agree. I didn’t feel lost or anything picking up the third book. To say that I was looking forward to this one is an understatement, I love sweet or clean romances and have had a run of good luck lately.

I am thrilled to bring you guys all the details for this one today, and as it’s out now, if it’s a book that catches your eye then you can pop by and pick up a copy now!

Review: The Library of Legends by Janie Chang
This book was on my radar well before it was a Book of the Month pick for April. In fact I have been looking forward to reading this book for months! This cover is absolutely stunning and this book sounded like a new and exciting piece of a little known time in history. I haven’t read a lot of Asian historical fiction beyond some of the more well known titles like Memoirs of Geisha and Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. Memoirs of a Geisha was one of my favorite reads when I read it years ago and for a while I bought a ton of historical fiction set in…
