Special Feature: Our Italian Summer by Jennifer Probst
I don’t know about anyone else, but the coronavirus and all the lockdowns have left me with major wanderlust! I literally have a list of places that I have researched throughout the lockdowns and it’s titled ‘places I’m traveling to when COVID f*cks off’. Italy is at the top of this. I have long dreamed of traveling to Italy, starting at Lake Como and traveling all the way down to Sicily. So when I saw this book was coming out I knew it would be perfect for all those people who are also struggling with wanderlust like me! Books are so great, they give us somewhere to go when we…

Special Feature: Better Luck Next Time by Julia Claiborne Johnson
This book had me at ‘do you want to read something funny?’. What kind of question is that even!? Yes of course I want to read something funny—especially right now I think we could all use a little humor. Which is exactly why I want to share this book with you guys today! This book is technically a historical fiction novel and it’s one that isn’t set during WWII. Shocking right? So many historical fiction novels are written in that time period that something set in Reno of all places in the 1930s sounds positively unique! Add in the humor and some women’s fiction elements and you have a novel…

Review: The Star-Crossed Sisters of Tuscany by Lori Nelson Spielman
Due to COVID this was a book whose release date got pushed back a couple of times so to be honest, I forgot about it for my fall reading! It was supposed to come out in September and I thought it would be a great book to close out of late summer reading with. But then it was pushed out until November and I simply forgot about it until I checked my reading calendar and saw it was time to start reading! Well….I take that back, I saw it was a Book of the Month pick for November and I was so excited because I knew it was coming up…

Special Feature: THE CUL-DE-SAC WAR by Melissa Ferguson
Anyone need a rom-com to get through the holidays this year? I know I do! I love rom-coms during the holidays even if they don’t really have a holiday element to them. This one has been getting a lot of attention all over social media which may or may not be a good thing, but for me this one sounds like a winner! I am going to read it a little later on this winter but for now, I am bringing you all the details here! If you love rom-coms and books that are getting a little buzzy then this might be one you should add to your TBR or…

Special Feature: The Wrong Kind of Woman by Sarah McCraw Crow
I love books about strong women and this book sounds like it’s going to be a big hit for fans of women’s fiction as well as strong female heroines that face their own personal struggles. I think the 1960s and 70s were such a pivotal time for women and it sounds like this book is going to capitalize on many of the issues of that time period which sounds exciting. While I could not fit this book on my review schedule for the fall, I am thrilled that I get to bring you guys a little excerpt. I hope you take a look and enjoy this little sneak peak as…

Special Feature: Millicent Glenn’s Last Wish by Tori Whitaker
Mother daughter relationships are always complicated which I think is one reason why I never tire of reading books about mothers and daughters. In this case the book is multigenerational with mothers, daughters, and grandmothers. I cannot wait to check this one out. It sounds like an engrossing and moving story that I think many women can relate to. Even if you have a wonderful relationship with your mother or the women in your family, I think there is something to be gleaned from reading about complicated mother daughter stories. I love duel timeline stories and this mix of historical fiction and contemporary from a new voice in women’s fiction…
