**Review** Is There Still Sex in the City? Candace Bushnell ⭐️⭐️ I wanted to love this book. I was beyond excited to receive an ARC from Netgalley. But it left me disappointed and wanting. Is There Still Sex in the City reads like the narration to a TV show, but lacks the imagery and heart …

**Review** Fears and Facts, James Clapper ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Before I picked up this audiobook, I was familiar with James Clapper’s name. I had a vague understanding of his role in the Obama administration, but was more familiar with him post Inauguration Day 2017. In Facts and Fears, Clapper goes into great detail of his history of …
**Review** Ithaca’s Soldier, Kelly Utt ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A brilliant concept and unique idea! Reading the synopsis, I was intrigued, to say the least. George is a relatable, caring family man. He is surrounded my amazing and loving people. It was those characters that drew me and that I connected with. My only complaint was that it …
**Review** The Proposal, Jasmine Guillory ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I don’t know why I feel the need to caveat all my romance novel reviews with “I don’t normally like this genre,” but here we are … I don’t normally like this genre. But… I thoroughly enjoyed The Proposal. Nik is a strong, independent female character unafraid of embracing …
I started January with a lofty goal – to read 36 books in 2019. In 2018, I read or listened to 23 books. In 2017, 19. Prior to that, I would guess that number was closer to 0 for several years. As I mentioned in a previous post, somewhere along the way, I lost my …

Nine Authors. Fourteen Books. One Winner. Four years ago when I published my first book, I didn’t know what to call myself. Anytime I told someone about my book, it was with the caveat that I’d self published as if there was something inferior about it. But the more I looked into traditional publishing, the …
It’s been a hot minute or year since I read an actual, physical book that wasn’t nonfiction. Audio books have been a staple of my life for the last year and I found that I can only listen to nonfiction while driving … because I like to imagine the fiction and that doesn’t exactly bode …
As hard as I tried to avoid coming into this book with a bias, I definitely still had one. The problem? I wasn’t really sure what that bias was – did I love or loathe Jim Comey? The whole email BS with Secretary Clinton provided a roller coaster of emotions towards him, but I am …
It’s been a while since a book has affected me the way Matthew Desmond’s Evicted did. In fact, I’d wager that it affected me unlike anything else I have ever read. I had just finished Al Franken’s Giant of the Senate when I saw Senator Cory Booker’s post on a summer book club. I needed …
