It's hard to describe how much I loved this book. The FEELINGS in this story blew me away. The friendship and the growing love between the teens, was all consuming and made my heart overflow with LOVE. This book is by far the authors' BEST work yet! Just in a different stratosphere all together - AMAZING!!!... Read More
The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren | BOOK REVIEW
Almost with amazing regularity, this author couple writes some of THE BEST couples in contemporary romance. So far, I’ve adored all of them, and Olive and Ethan are one of their best to date. This is real talent. Creating characters that mesh so well with each other, that it feels effortless.... Read More
SHE SAID by Jodi Kantor, Megan Twohey | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
Ever since reading Bad Blood and watching Spotlight I have been in awe of great journalism. She Said was a wonderful addition, and a must read book, especially since, like Bad Blood, the article that started it all, was only recently published, October 5th 2017. Interestingly enough, there was another journalist that worked on the same topic, Ronan Farrow, who wrote for The New Yorker , and published his article a few days later, on October 10th. I haven't read his article yet, but I'm going to read his book Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators next. Both Jodi Kantor, Megan Twohey as well as Ronan Farrow won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for their journalism about Weinstein.... Read More
The Foxhole Court by Nora Sakavic | BOOK SERIES REVIEW | book hangover ALERT!!!!
I’m OBSESSED with this series. There is really no other way to describe my state of mind. I started googling characters when I was just 30% into the book. That’s when I found fan art by @llstarcasterll, and was a GONER! I even commissioned this piece for myself.... Read More

Netgalley Readathon
I just came across this NetGalley challenge by The Library Looter & Anniek's Library and I thought it couldn't have come at a better moment in time. Here in California we are still having a mandatory Shelter in Place, that means I actually have time to read.... Read More
My take on the 2020 POPSUGAR Reading Challenge
I'm going to try to complete the Popsugar Reading challenge this year - I've always wanted to participate in one, but it has never been the right time. Since it's only the beginning of February, and I still have most of the year in front of me, I should have plenty of time to read them all.... Read More
MARIANA ZAPATA | A LIST OF HER BEST BOOKS | AND ALL THE REASONS WHY I LOVE HER WRITING
I thought I'll introduce one of my most favorite authors, Mariana Zapata. Thanks to Amazon I was able to find out when I actually ordered my first MZ books, it was on June 15, 2015 - Kulti, and Under Locke. And since then, once a year I'm looking forward to a new Mariana Zapata. Over the years I read some amazing books by her, and yes of course I have favorites.... Read More
Undercover Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams | BOOK REVIEW
This was a lot of fun, adorable, a bit cheesy and predictable, but overall a LOT of fun!! I actually enjoyed it even more than Bromance Book Club. And that’s thanks to the main couple, Liv and Mack, and an entertaining story with some amazing LOL moments.... Read More
A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
I knew going in, that the audiobook would have a full cast, but I didn’t realize just how many interviews and phone calls as well as emails were part of this book, and this kind of format always works well with a full cast.... Read More
The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
Honestly, I had the easiest time giving this book the 5 stars it deserves, and I rarely give them out, but the combination of writing, the many strong female characters and the historical background made this book one of the most amazing books I read this year.... Read More
Wild at Heart by KA Tucker | BOOK REVIEW
This is probably one of my most anticipated novel of 2020! The Simple Wild was my first book by KA Tucker in 2018, and since then I read a couple more books by her, but The Simple Wild is still my most favorite, not just because of the YETI and Alaska – lol. Either way, I reread The Simple Wild earlier this year, and I’m glad I did, because this book pretty much picks up exactly where TSW ended.... Read More
This Won’t End Well By Camille Pagán | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
What I enjoyed the most about This Wont End Well by Camille Pagán was the feel good story about Annie finding herself. The novel was written in journal entries, in which Annie chronicles her life, primarily from the point when her fiancée leaves for Paris without her. Suddenly she is forced to reevaluate her life, relationship, and future.... Read More
Oona out of Order By Margarita Montimore | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
The plot for Oona Out of Order was incredibly unique. Ever since I read the blurb I was fascinated by the time jumps and couldn’t wait to read more about it. The idea of spending each year in a different time period. Not having control over which year the next one will be. Being catapulted through life. It all points towards a very different kind of book.... Read More
The Big Finish by Brooke Fossey | BOOK REVIEW
Wow, this debut novel caught me entirely by surprise and even now, half a day later, I still have a hard time putting my thoughts into cohesive sentences, much less a review. If you loved A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman you'll enjoy this book. It had all the emotions and a cast that was incredibly witty, cantankerous, grumpy, endearing and just charming.... Read More
