Review: Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty
While recovering from surgery on my foot, I had my TV and book lineup ready for six weeks of unadulterated reading and TV watching time. One of the TV shows on the top of my list was the HBO series BIG LITTLE LIES. My sister raved about how good the series was and I was intrigued by the description, that was until I saw that it was based on a book. I immediately changed up my reading lineup so I could read this book before watching the show. I have been reading a lot of historical fiction and historical mysteries lately and I actually got excited about reading something more…

Review: Still Me (Me Before You #3) by Jojo Moyes
As many of you know, I have been a huge fan of Jojo Moyes novels for quite some time. I loved the first book in this series, Me Before You, and many of her other books have indeed been my guilty pleasure over the years. So for me, Me Before You did not need a sequel or to be made into a series. For me it ended on a high note and I didn’t think that it needed to be followed up by any more books which is why I didn’t really want to read After You. In fact I didn’t read the second book in this series. Which begs…

Special Feature: PARIS FOR ONE by Jojo Moyes
I have been a huge fan of Jojo Moyes for years now. The first novel I read by her was ME BEFORE YOU and if you haven’t read it, you need to go read it like now! But make sure you have kleenex handy! Some novels are better than others but not the whole, Moyes has pretty solid writing skills and her novels satisfy even the pickiest readers. Many are tear jerkers so be prepared! Last year I had the pleasure of reading PARIS FOR ONE which was a delight, and now it’s out in paperback through Penguin Books. This book, even though it’s a novella, would be a great…

Review: Christmas in London by Anita Hughes
I feel like I gained 10 pounds just reading this novel. This is a great foodie lover novel if you are into that sort of thing. Foodie lit is a new phenomenon for me but one that my tastebuds love and my waistline doesn’t. I love how charming novels like this are and I am surprised how much I loved the food element….needless to say, I devoured a roll of Pillsbury cinnamon rolls while reading this book….#sorrynotsorry. It’s a week before Christmas and Louisa Graham is working twelve hour shifts at a bakery on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. When a young cooking show assistant comes in from the rain and…

Review: Pride and Prejudice and Mistletoe by Melissa de la Cruz
Let the Christmas reading commence! Some years I have a ton of holiday themed books (like this year) and other years I stretch my ‘scary reads’ from September to January. But this year I have had a lot of Christmas reading come my way and I can’t tell you how excited I am about that! While this book has a nod to the classic Jane Austen novel, Pride and Prejudice, it is a modern retelling rather than a Regency retelling. Darcy Fitzwilliam is 29, beautiful, successful, and brilliant. She dates hedge funders and basketball stars and is never without her three cellphones—one for work, one for play, and one to…

Review: The Betrayal of the Blood Lily (Pink Carnation #6) by Lauren Willig
After the fifth Pink Carnation book, I kind of felt like I needed a little break from the Pink Carnation series. And by little break I mean like five years….thats how long it’s been since I read one of the Pink Carnation books. I love the series as a whole but the last book in the series that I read, just left me a little wanting in the uniqueness category. So I abandoned it in favor of other books, though I always knew that someday I would come back to it because lets face it, I am in love with this series, but I needed little time to step away…

Review: Woman Enters Left by Jessica Brockmole
Letters From Skye by Jessica Brockmole is one of my favorite reads in recent years and of course At The Edge of Summer was also a stunning read, so I was exceptionally eager to read her latest book Woman Enters Left. Needless to say I had high expectations. I personally think that Brockmole is at her best when she is writing a romance, but this book sounded intriguing and was told in journal form (which I love) so I was eager to see how it unfolded. In the 1950s, movie star Louise Wilde is caught between an unfulfilling acting career and a shaky marriage when she receives an out-of-the-blue phone…

Cover Reveal: THE SECRET TO SOUTHERN CHARM (Peachtree Bluff #2) by Kristy Woodson Harvey
I have been a huge fan of Kristy Woodson Harvey for the last few years. I love her Southern charm and effortless ability to spin a tale. I love her novels and am anxiously awaiting the release of her next book, THE SECRET TO SOUTHERN CHARM. Today the cover for THE SECRET TO SOUTHERN CHARM is being revealed and nothing could make me more excited for this one! As in Woodson Harvey’s signature style, the cover says ‘beach’. I can’t wait to take this one with me on vacation in the spring! It makes me sad that it’s almost winter and I have to wait until April for this one!…
