Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens Genre: Historical FictionPublisher: G.P. Putnam’s Sons (Penguin Group)Book Release Date: August 14, 2018My Review: ★★★★★ I couldn’t put this down. Amazing story, characters, setting. What a tragic and lonely life this child/girl/woman had. And my goodness, what a brilliant mind she had despite going to school one measly day of her life!… Read More
City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert Genre: Women’s FictionPublisher: Riverhead BooksBook Release Date: June 4, 2019My Review: ★★★★ First, let me save that I wavered between a 3-star and 4-star rating on this. On one hand, this story was slightly reminiscent of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” in the way that it was written autobiographical… Read More
My book box came in a few days ago from Book of the Month, and don’t you know, I had to jump straight into one of them. The main book I selected for this month was: Aside from being such a beautiful cover, I thought it sounded like a great story that spoke to my… Read More
Last month was a great reading month. This month is on target to be another one as well. So far, I’ve started a couple of books that I’m really getting into already. The first is a Book of the Month hardcover (Things You Save In A Fire) and the second is an audiobook (Where the… Read More
It was an interesting month. There were a couple of books I didn’t get to that I intended on reading, but there were several I ended up reading I hadn’t originally planned on, so overall, I was happy. Here’s what I read in June… In all honesty, I read the bulk of The Hypnotist’s Love… Read More
Last month, I did this thing where I didn’t really set a TBR list of books I intended to read for the month. The result: a whole list of awesome books I absolutely loved. Also the result: nearly all of them were Romance. I have no shame. But at the end of May, I read… Read More
This month I did things a little differently. There were a handful of books I knew I wanted to read this month because they were new releases I’ve been waiting on for a while, but as for the rest, I just kind of went with what I felt like at the time, which I have… Read More
I Have Never by Camilla Isley Genre: Contemporary RomancePublisher: Pink Bloom PressBook Release Date: July 13, 2017My Review: ★★★★ I feel like I had some mixed feelings throughout this book as I was reading it. I feel like it started out pretty strong. The very beginning was like a really good one-two-punch kind of thing, like it came… Read More
The Bride Test by Helen Hoang Genre: Contemporary RomancePublisher: Berkley Book Release Date: May 7, 2019My Review: ★★★★★ The Bride Test by Helen Hoang was just as awesome as The Kiss Quotient. It was fantastic. What I loved about this book were the highly relatable and quirky characters. Khai is autistic, very routine and almost mechanical but very highly… Read More
The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren Genre: Contemporary RomancePublisher: Gallery Books Book Release Date: May 14, 2019My Review: ★★★★★ Absolutely loved this book. I loved the characters. I love-love-loved the enemies to lovers tension and slow burn. I loved the sister-love between Olive and Ami, and the brother-love between Ethan and what’s his name. (Lol) There was this character/story arc… Read More
