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
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

Second Nature by Nora Roberts Genre: Contemporary RomancePublisher: Silhouette Special ReleasesBook Release Date: Reissue Edition January 14, 2019My Review: ★★★★ This was a cute, enjoyable story – short and sweet. Even though it was originally published in 1985, it didn’t feel dated, other than the guy smoking indoors. 🙂 I felt everything was still relevant… Read More
