I, like many other Americans, love anything that has to do with the royal family. It's such a foreign concept (pun intended) to us that I think we can't help but grasp on anything revolving around them. I think there's always been an interest in them but it wasn't until Princess Diana that people really... Continue Reading →
This is How it Always is by Laurie Frankel
I feel like I say this a lot but I just wanted to give this book a hug, which is an incredibly weird way to start this post I know. I literally texted a friend of mine at 30 pages in to the book on how much I loved this book and just wanted to... Continue Reading →
The Night Portrait: A Novel of World War II and da Vinci’s Italy by Laura Morelli
Art has never really been something that I've been super into. I mean I like to look at it, especially street art, but majority of the time I have no idea what I am even looking at or could tell you anything about the piece. In art class growing up I was definitely there just... Continue Reading →

Was it my best idea to read this book while house/dog sitting all by my lonesome. Definitely not. Yet here I... Continue Reading →

Before I get into the brief book plot, this book takes place in Spain during the reign of Francisco Franco in the 1950's. I recognized the name of Franco but had little to no knowledge of what transpired in the... Continue Reading →

The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot by Marianne Cronin
This is later then when I had hoped to right my first blog of 2022 but until recently I found myself almost in a reading funk. I have either completely finished or started 7 different books since the start of the new year and was just not loving any of them. None of them were... Continue Reading →
While Justice Sleeps by Stacey Abrams
You're probably thinking what I was thinking when I first picked up this book which was Stacey Abrams wrote a book? A political thriller style book. Definitely a head scratcher at first glance. I've recently started getting more into thrillers this last year but this was my first political thriller and I wasn't really sure... Continue Reading →
