Thank you to Tyndale Publishing for their kindness in allowing me to read and review an advanced copy of The Masterpiece by Francine Rivers. Francine Rivers is a legend in Women’s Christian Fiction. Her book Redeeming Love is among my favorite reads of all-time. She has an exquisite way of writing unconditional love and making readers feel her…

The Beau & The Belle – Review
I don’t know how R.S. Grey manages to write hit after hit. She’s has nailed her niche and I doubt she could write a bad book. Her stories never fail to make me laugh out loud, read through the entire day or night, and fall in love along with her characters. While I’m reading, I…
The Smallest Part – Review
Many thanks to Amy Harmon for my very first ARC copy of one of her novels! Authors like Amy Harmon are the reason I read. Her beautiful heart bleeds onto the pages of every book she writes. After I finish reading each book I’m left in awe of her writing, the soul of her books,…
Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating – Review
Many thanks to BookSparks for the chance to read and review this novel! I have a bit of an unspoken rule — if I’m able to finish a book in a day with my crazy family and near-constant interruptions, the book is almost always going to receive a five-star rating from me. Josh and Hazel’s…
To All the Boys I Loved Before – Book Review / Movie Comparison
One of the hardest things for me as a book blogger is reviewing an immensely popular novel because it feels like there is nothing new to be said. However, I have been asked by readers to give my thoughts on To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, a book I planned on taking the easy way…
More of You – Review
With twenty books under her belt, it’s a little surprising More of You was my first A.L. Jackson read. Though I have many of her books waiting on my Kindle, apparently receiving the paperback of this book was the push I needed to make time for this author. I really appreciated the chance to participate in the…
The Little Shop of Found Things – Review
Many thanks to St. Martin’s Press and Netgalley for the chance to read and review this novel early. I have only good things to say about The Little Shop of Found Things and I’m delighted this book lived up to and even surpassed my expectations! I didn’t read the entire blurb when I decided to request this…
I Like You, I Love Her – Review
I Like You, I Love Her is the type of book I don’t have words for, instead, I’m full to the brim with feelings and nostalgia. I have never read a book before that mirrored my high school existence quite so clearly. This book transported me back to one of the most tumultuous times in my…
Not So Nice Guy – Review
I don’t know what I can say about R.S. Grey’s books that I haven’t already said a million and one times. I will read every book this woman writes because each one is so much FUN! To date, I think Not So Nice Guy is Grey’s most hilarious book – I was laughing at something on practically…
One Day in December – Review
Many thanks to Crown Publishing and Netgalley for the chance to read and review this novel! My Anglophile heart beats for British books every now and again, and I must admit to being drawn to this book by its stereotypical cute British cover. Once I read the blurb, I just had to have it. It…
The Brightest – Review
Readers, if you’re looking for a quick, feel-good story, look no further! This is an incredibly short novella, meant to be read in one sitting, telling a love story about love stories. Robyn is waiting for her “bright” moment in life, a small spark of serendipity to move her life along on the course she…
How to Kill a Rockstar – Review
Is it just me, or are the books with the biggest hype the hardest to read? I’ve been holding off on How to Kill a Rockstar for months because I simply wasn’t ready after having my heart stomped on by God-Shaped Hole. Tiffanie DeBartolo can write heartache like nobody’s business. I wish I could borrow her brain for…
Ten Tiny Breaths – Review
Checking another “oldie” but goodie off the TBR list with Ten Tiny Breaths. After enjoying The Simple Wild immensely, I was excited to read more by K.A. Tucker. I decided to poll our friends on Instagram to ask which book of hers I should read, and this was the product! Thanks, everyone! I loved the story of these…
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society – Review
Watching the Netflix trailer for the movie adaption of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society gave me the kick in the pants I needed to finally get this book off of my TBR. I had a feeling once the movie is out, the book will be gone from the library for months. The trailer for the movie makes…
Disgrace – Review
Brittainy C. Cherry is one of my go-to authors for a reason. I adore her storytelling and the emotion she pours into her books. I never fail to feel everything her characters experience, as if I’m living it with them. After reading the first page, I knew this would be another novel to rip my…
Jackal – Review
Tarryn Fisher and Willow Aster have started a movement, a rise of women, that is absolutely astounding with the End of Men Series. I’ll admit to being slightly more critical of Folsom, the first book in the series, than many of my blogging counterparts. However, as the story of Folsom sat with me, the more I found myself…
The Light We Lost – Review
If there ever was a novel to describe the growing pains we feel as we transition into adulthood, it would be this one. This story had one of the most nostalgic, melancholy, and at times, philosophical feels I’ve ever experienced from a Romance novel. I really enjoyed those aspects and was interested in the story…
The Simple Wild – Review
I think the Texas heat has made my obsession with Alaska come to a head this summer. I have been religiously watching Alaska State Troopers and have been eager to read or watch anything Alaskan-related lately. Thanks to Atria Publishing, my obsession was able to continue when I received the ARC of The Simple Wild by K.A. Tucker through…
The Sweet Gum Tree – Review
Thank you so much to Talon from Under the Cover blog for helping me break the horrendous book slump I was in. At the time, I couldn’t make up my mind on what to read and nothing sounded appealing after several two-star books and a couple DNFs. I posed the question of what to read next to…
Tell Me Lies – Review
Thank you to Atria and Netgalley for the chance to read and review this novel. I will rarely be recorded saying this, and I know I will be in a very small majority, but I absolutely hated this book. It hurts me to say something so negative about a debut novel, but I just could…
