**Review** This year I’ve discovered a love for multigenerational family sagas. I’ve always loved historical fiction, but I had no idea how much I loved stories about mothers and daughters that span generations. The vivid prose and moving story in The Glittering Hour did not disappoint. I cannot recommend this book enough. Seriously, go buy …
Y’all, I haven’t read a ghost story in years. Fear Street or another R.L. Stein book might have been the last one I read. So, I was very excited for The Forgotten Girl (plus @booksandbighair is one of my favorite bookish, planner-loving humans). And it did NOT disappoint. I could not put this book down …
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started this book. The first bit of the book felt too familiar, but it also left me curious to know more. Julia, though wealthy and privileged, was relatable in her desire to be seen and appreciated. I felt for her as her “friends” and Tatum started turning …

I present to you a decade of writing, give or take a manuscript or two. Not to mention the mountain of unfinished or not started manuscripts buried deep within my Google Drive. Here’s a fun insight into my writing chaos: I’m a fast writer. Once I get an idea fleshed, I’m gone. I could spend …
Christmas Shopaholic, Sophia Kinsella⭐️⭐️A decade ago, I adored Becky Bloomwood. I loved every single book. So, needless to say, I was ecstatic to read Christmas Shopaholic. Perhaps I built it up too much in my mind because it wasn’t at all what I’d hoped. I found Becky to be obnoxious. She trivialized so many important …
Get a Life, Chloe Brown, Talia Hibbert⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️There are few things I love more than books that feature real, flawed characters. Chloe is unapologetic in who she is. She’s fierce and fighting for control over her life and body. Redford is equally flawed and raw, making this a perfect enemy to lovers story. What made this …
The Lucky Ones, Liz Lawson⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Out 4.7.20 Thank you to the tagged publisher & NetGalley for the advance copy in exchange for an honest review.) This book completely blew me away. I’m not sure I have the words to adequately review it, but I’ll try. The Lucky Ones is raw and real and if I …
Tomorrow, I’ll wake up earlier. Before bed, I’ll set out my tennis shoes and sports bra. I’ll have the coffee accouterments set out on the counter. I won’t hit snooze. I won’t give in to the temptation of nine more minutes. I’ll dig deep down inside and find my willpower. And tomorrow, I will listen …
I picked up Meant to Be Yours a few nights ago and haven’t been able to put it down. It sucked me in immediately! Jasper and Renee are perfectly flawed, raw characters. Their chemistry leaps off the pages and boy is it steamy. Stay tuned for a full review in the next few days (once …
I’ve written close to half a million words this year. Three complete manuscripts. A dozen or so InstaShorties. A handful of false starts on novel ideas I lost interest in. I’ve pushed myself creatively and professionally, going well outside my comfort zone. When I started the year, I thought my path forward was self-publishing. I …
