Book Review: A Torch Against the Night [audio]
Recently, I have been putting fairly popular audio books on hold from the library (through the Libby app), especially ones that are sequels to first books in series that I LOVED but I just haven’t had time to get to the rest of the series yet. The most recent like this that came through was…

Book Review: 99 Percent Mine
With spring in the air, I have been really craving some good new contemporary romances in my life. I was browsing books on Libby (amazing app that allows you to hook into ebooks and audio books through your local library) and remembered I had not read Sally Thorne’s latest, so it was an obvious choice…

Book Review: The Bookshop on the Corner [audio]
Book Title: The Bookshop on the Corner (Amazon, Goodreads) Author: Jenny Colgan Genre: Women’s Fiction, Contemporary Romance My Rating: 4 / 5 stars I will admit, I chose this book to listen to because it was set in the UK, and largely in Scotland, and I was really missing the green wide open spaces of Scotland and the beautiful…

Book Review: Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe [audio]
“Another secret of the universe: Sometimes pain was like a storm that came out of nowhere. The clearest summer could end in a downpour. Could end in lightning and thunder.” Okay, so if you listen to audio books like I do, then you know that not all audio books are created equal. A very good…

Book Review: Something Sweeter [audio]
Hello from the land of too many books and total mood reading! I have a ton of other things on my TBR that I have every intention of reading, but then I was perusing libro.fm (if you have not discovered the wonders of this site, I highly recommend it) and its monthly romance deals, and…
