Book Review: Storm and Fury [NetGalley]
Disclaimer: I received a free digital Advance Reader Copy (ARC) of Storm and Fury from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This book’s expected publication date is June 11, 2019. Okay, where to start with this book? It was pretty much my perfect YA paranormal fantasy/romance. Truly. I love Jennifer Armentrout but have not…

Book Review: A Study in Scarlet Women [audio]
I read an article a few months ago that was all about the various riffs on Sherlock Holmes that had come out over the past few years, and the series by Sherry Thomas stood out to me as seeming like one I would enjoy. I also thought my mom would enjoy it, and as Christmas…

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…

Book Review: Dear Martin [audio]
“You can’t change how other people think and act, but you’re in full control of you. When it comes down to it, the only question that matters is this: If nothing in the world ever changes, what type of man are you gonna be?” -Nic Stone, Dear Martin. Book Title: Dear Martin (Amazon, Goodreads) Author:…

Book Review: Illuminae
Hi there. I actually finished reading Illuminae weeks ago but it took me a while to get to the point where I was ready to write my review. It is such a unique book, and sci fi is not even usually my genre. But this. This is sheer genius, and I think everybody should give…
