In addition to the 12 Days of Indie Giveaway on Instagram, I am so excited to announce a new Book Club initiative! Indie Authors are the hidden gems of Bookstagram. There are so many amazing books by incredibly talented writers and storytellers. Unfortunately, they often get lost in the sea of Trade publishing releases. The …
I did it! I finished the whole series, and I LOVED it. I’m going to attempt to review these without spoilers. I adored the Quinn family. I first met Margaret in the final book of the Paradise series and was immediately drawn to her. I’d already had the Winter Street books on my shelf (I …
(out 3/23/21) Thank you to @stmartinspress and @netgalley for the free copy) This book as a deep, emotional journey. Both Sela and Caroline felt so vulnerable, real, and raw. I’m still processing that twist and everything that happened, but this was a fantastic book. I literally just sent of my AncestryDNA kit, and the whole time I read this, …
Written in the Stars, Alexandria Bellefleur (thank you to the publisher for the gifted copy) Ugh. Y’all. This book. Perfection. Steamy. Sweet. Full of hope and quirkiness. Please get it and read it and devour it like I did. The Peculiar Fate of Holly Banks, Julie Valerie (Thank you to the author for the gifted …
Sometimes, when you read a series the books start to falter midway through and then disappoint. Winter in Paradise is NOT that kind of series. I loved how seamlessly these books flowed. As soon as I picked up Troubles in Paradise, I was sucked right back into the story. I love how well everything was …

Y’all this book. Wow. I’m not sure any review I write will do it justice. Dear Martin was heartbreaking, inspiring, and important. The questions and situations Justyce faces are a direct reflection of our country right now. Dear Martin should be required reading in our schools.
This was the perfect book to pull me out of my reading hiccup (I don’t call them slumps). Sometimes I get a little crazy and pick up a book without reading the synopsis. I had a general idea of what this one was about, but I came in a little blind. I’m glad I did …

Have you ever read a work of fiction that you wished were nonfiction? Reading Red, White, and Royal Blue had me wishing with every ounce of my life that it was real. Especially the ending … that BIG blue ending. I’ll admit this one was a bit of a slow start for me, but I’m …
Review: Red, White & Royal Blue, Casey McQuiston Read More »
Wow. This book exceeded every single one of my expectations. Jackson’s writing pulled me right into Enchanted’s world and held me hostage. I could not put this book down. The topics weren’t light and were absolutely gut wrenching at times. I highly recommend this book, but go into it knowing your heart will break and …
