The reason why I picked up this book was without a doubt the comparison to Alexa from Schitt’s Creek. The novel and plot itself has nothing to do with Schitt’s Creek, but Piper does certainly have some similarities with Alexa - and I loved it!!... Read More
Any Way the Wind Blows by Rainbow Rowell | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW | Simon Snow #3
What can I say I’m in love with this series. I listened to the audiobook of Carry On in February of 2018 and was immediately in love with Simon and Baz, and also Penelope. Loved the narration, the voices, and the friendships.... Read More
A Million Things by Emily Spurr | BOOK REVIEW | FIVE STARS
I realised very early on that A MILLION THINGS would be one of my rare 5 star books of the year. From the blurb to the execution, this book was amazing. The writing was brilliant from beginning to end. And although my heart was hurting for Rae, it was also bursting from all the love I had for this book.... Read More
Not My Problem by Ciara Smyth | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW

Mary Jane by Jessica Anya Blau | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW

The Second Blind Son by Amy Harmon | BOOK REVIEW | The Chronicles of Saylok
Two of my most favourite genres are URBAN FANTASY and FANTASY ROMANCE. Unfortunately there aren't many authors who write it well. But one incredible author, dabbles in both contemporary, and fantasy and she does both really well!!... Read More
Last Guard by Nalini Singh | BOOK REVIEW | Psy-Changeling Trinity #5
I love this series, and have been reading it for many years now, but must admit that my heart belongs to the characters of the first group of Psy-Changeling books. I remember them the most, the SnowDancer and the DarkRiver pack. But with this new arc of books, the author is taking the story into a different direction, out of Northern California and into the world. And as always I compare these new books to the old ones and they don't often measure up.... Read More
The Secret Bridesmaid by Katy Birchall | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
I LOVE British novels; romances, literature, it all works for me. And it's even better if I can listen to the audiobook. A British narrations always makes me smile and this one did just that with its easy and entertaining story.... Read More

When Stars Collide by Susan Elizabeth Phillips | BOOK REVIEW | Chicago Stars #9
I think I must have read my first Susan Elizabeth Phillips book 20 years ago. IT HAD TO BE YOU, was one of my very first sports romances. And ever since her light hearted and funny rom-coms have been part of my tbr.... Read More
Luck of the Titanic by Stacey Lee | YA AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
I read my first book by this author, The Downstairs Girl at the end of 2019, and really enjoyed it. The author has a wonderful way of telling historic tales with a focus on Asian characters. And when I saw the author was coming out with a new book I knew I wanted to read it. Even with Titanic in the title.... Read More
House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
I love reading outside my comfort zone, and anything that even sounds like horror is usually on my no-go list. BUT I made exceptions in the past. Earlier this year I read RING SHOUT, and last year I picked up The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires. Both books had some really creepy moments but mostly they were really original stories with a smidgen of horror. I also love it when a novel is atmospheric, eery, and has a darker vibe. Both Simone St. James novels, The Sundown Motel and Broken Girls fit that bill.... Read More
For Lucy by Jewel E Ann | BOOK REVIEW
This second chance romance is highly emotional, deep, and even heavy at times. The love story between Emmett and Tatum is beautiful, but also tragic. Tragic in a very human way. One that will touch your hearts, make you think, and even shed a tear or two.... Read More
Fat Chance, Charlie Vega by Crystal Maldonado | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
The cover made me pick it up, but the blurb easily convinced me that this was a book I wanted to read. Over the last couple years I have been reading more and more coming of age novels and although not everyone hits the spot, but I'm always glad I read them... Read More
State of Affairs by Marie Force | BOOK REVIEW | First Family #1
I have only read one other book where the hero is becoming president, Mr President by Katy Evans. But I must say that I really enjoy this kind of story arc. It makes for an interesting spin. Especially in the case of Sam Holland. Because she will buck at the restraints and push buttons to be the first fictional First Lady to still perform her job. She is such a strong and kick ass woman. This change will be a real challenge for her, and I'm here for it.... Read More
The Guncle by Steven Rowley | BOOK REVIEW
This book was much more, but also exactly what I hoped it would be. Ever since I saw the cover and read the blurb I knew I wanted to read it, and I also hoped it would be amazing. And it was just that.... Read More
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
My most favorite romance movie of all times is the 2005 version of Pride & Prejudice. I can't put in words how much this movie moved me the first time I watched it and how often I watched it since 2005. I'm in love with the music, the performances and especially with Mr Darcy. My infatuation went so far that I bought myself a Mr Darcy statue, proof photo above.... Read More
Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake by Alexis Hall | BOOK REVIEW
If you loved and maybe binge watched The Great British Bake Off like myself you MUST read this book!!! It gave me all the feels of the show, and reminded me that I have not watched all the seasons yet - shame on me! Also the British humour and the inspiring baking puns take the cake.... Read More

The Road Trip Beth O’Leary | BOOK REVIEW
After loving The Flatshare and The Switch Beth O'Leary has become an auto-buy author for me. Her books are just so well written, and her humour right up my alley. When I received an ARC for The Road Trip, I couldn't wait to read it. And I'm not kidding when I say that I dropped EVERYTHING to read this book. And I was not disappointed.... Read More
