Like regular book news, book hauls, TV & movies I'm currently watching, what I'm reading or listening to, and anything else I would like to chat about. It's a way for me to catch you up on everything that happened - and anything goes.... 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
Author Spotlight: Why I love Mariana Zapata
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
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
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
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 K.A. TUCKER
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
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 / one of the most unique novels of 2020
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
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
