Just a quick post to say we’ve been evacuated from our home due to a nearby wildfire. The Pipeline fire in Flagstaff (not a pipeline on fire, but a forest fire named after the pipeline hiking trail) is close to our home. The winds are still in our favor, so we don’t think our home […]
Thank You, Next by Andie J. Christopher is an emotional look at one woman’s desire to find out more about herself by visiting her ex-boyfriends. I enjoyed this light and a somewhat steamy book about finding your strength. Alex Turner is a single divorce attorney. Her life and her job have made her a bit […]
Meant to Be by Emily Giffin is an emotional and somewhat nostalgic book that is very loosely based on the Kennedy family. I really enjoyed this well-written story with an inside look into the lives of the rich and famous. Joseph Kinglsey is the son and the grandson of famous, rich, and powerful men. He’s […]
Strangers in Paradise by Barbara Dunlop is her third book in her popular Paradise, Alaska Series, but can easily be read as a stand-alone novel, as I did. This is set in Paradise Alaska and is full of adventure and romance. Hailey Barosse is a bush pilot that flies out of Paradise, Alaska. She left […]
The Emma Project by Sonali Dev is the fourth book in her popular The Rajes Series and can be easily read as a stand-alone book. This Emma retelling is wonderful, and I enjoyed every second of reading. Vansh Raje is the youngest of the Raje’s siblings and has lived a charmed life. Doted on by […]
Every Summer After by Carley Fortune is an emotional and beautifully written coming-of-age story that I simply loved. The story is a dual timeline that covers six years in the past and one weekend in the present. The summer after Persephone Fraser (Percy) turns 13, her parents buy a cottage on a lake in a […]
It Started With a Kiss by Lisa Hobman is a lovely romance with opposites attract, all set in Edinburgh, Scotland. I said this is opposites attract, but as the book moves on, I realized they are not opposites at all, as they are very similar deep down. Star, an American living in Edinburgh, is […]
The Mad Girls of New York is a historical fiction novel based on real events. It is also the first book in Maya Rodale’s Nellie Bly series. And I’m excited that I’ll get to learn more about Nellie in her next book. Nellie moves to New York City to become a reporter after starting out […]
Reputation by Lex Croucher is an unusual, quirky, and snarky, young adult regency-era romance. It is Mean Girls, set in Regency England, with both the formal language of the time mixed with some modern language of today. As I said, it’s very unusual and highly entertaining. The book also deals with some heavy topics, that […]
A Family Affair by Robyn Carr is a stand-alone novel about one family who lost one of its own, and how they came together to help each other survive the loss and examine their past. I was riveted by this family drama and wanted each of the characters to find some happiness. Anna McNichol was […]
