Review: I love this series so much. When I picked up the first book in this series (Little Beach Street Bakery), I read it in one sitting and felt so completely happy when I was finished. I felt the exact same way when I finished with the second book (Summer at Little Beach Street Bakery). […]
Review: Pupcakes by Annie England Noblin is my latest seasonal read and it really is as cute as its cover. This is the story of recently-divorced Brydie Benson, who moves to Memphis to be closer to her friend and finds herself in need of an a low-cost place to live. When she happens upon Pauline Newmann’s […]
Review: I do not think that my thoughts on Thicker Than Blood by Madeline Sheehan and Claire C. Riley are in line with the majority here on Goodreads. I have to wonder if we all read the same book, with the same characters. Listen, it’s super fun to read zombie books during October, which is […]
Review: Kisscut by Karin Slaughter is the second book in the Grant County series, following Blindsighted. I thought that one was WHOA intense, but this one is intense in a different way entirely. Again, very gritty. And again, tough to read in several parts. But this one has crimes involving children and young people and I felt […]
Review: The Fire By Night by Teresa Messineo caught my eye mainly because it is the story of two American nurses that enlisted to serve during World War II: Jo was sent to The Western Front and Kay served at Pearl Harbor. I’m especially interested in these wartime, frontline nurses because I am a nurse […]
REVIEW: When I first saw the advanced copies for The Last Ballad by Wiley Cash being circulated months ago, I got so excited. His books are among my very-favorites. His stories are always so layered and his characters sometimes seem so straightforward but they’re actually really complex. And I love the way they’re set in […]
Review: I’ve been dying to read Accidentally On Purpose by Jill Shalvis since I started binge-reading the Heartbreaker Bay Series last week. I’ve read all of the books and novellas so far, in order, with the exception of this one because I’ve enjoyed Elle and Archer so much throughout the series. I have to say that while […]
Review: One Snowy Night by Jill Shalvis is a quick and super-cute novella that is part of her Heartbreaker Bay Series, featuring two characters in the secondary cast. Rory works for Willa at her pet shop. Max works for Archer. The two are on a road trip from the San Francisco area to Tahoe, up […]
Review: The Trouble with Mistletoe by Jill Shalvis is a quick read, very cute. I liked it more than the previous book, Sweet Little Lies, because there isn’t a huge “secret that can change destroy everything.” This book features Willa and Keane. While each of the books in this series are technically standalones, I love reading […]
Review: I almost don’t know where to begin with this one because I loved it so much. Last Christmas in Paris by Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb begins in 1968 with Thomas Harding traveling back to Paris for his last Christmas (no spoiler there, see title) with a bundle of letters, a nurse, and failing […]
