T.J. Klune has quickly become my comfort author. As some of you probably know or have noticed based on the other books I've written about, I tend to pick some heavier topic books and that really can take a toll on someone. Don't get me wrong, I will still keep reading them, but every once... Continue Reading →
It's not anything new when I talk about how much I loved Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan. It's one of my top books of 2022 and top books in general. So when I saw that Sullivan had released another historical fiction, I was kind of both excited and skeptical about reading it as... Continue Reading →

In all honesty, I had a really hard time trying to figure out where I stood with this book. I loved the sister relationship and seeing it evolve over time with the character developments, especially having two sisters myself, but some of the dialogue and other moments just made me very annoyed.

My dear friend Mary recommended this book to me and if you have met her or ever get to read some of her work you know that she has the gift of storytelling. She doesn't see the world like so many of us do. She see's a trampoline and instead it's a school for kids... Continue Reading →
I'm just going to start this post by saying this book could easily be my top read of 2022. I'm predicting that now. We've only just started March and that is how much I loved this book. It's a book that I believe everyone should read at some point in their life. An absolutely incredible... Continue Reading →
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 →
