The Four Winds – Review

I hate to say, one of my most anticipated reads for the year by one of my favorite authors was a gigantic disappointment. Within most modern books (and movies) lately, the political messages saturating the pages are about as subtle as a gun to the head. Kristin Hannah, unfortunately, decided to venture deep into the…

You Are Not Alone – Review

Many thanks to St. Martin’s Press and Netgalley for a chance to read this book. The third book by the writing duo Sarah Pekannen and Greer Hendricks was a huge win for me and actually happened to be my favorite of their trio. This book hooked me from the very first page and I eagerly…

September Recap + October TBR

Hi friends! I’m not sure about you, but September flew by for me! I’m happy with the serious progress toward my Beat the Backlist Challenge this month, helping my Gryffindor team remain in the lead! Yay! I was bummed to have to DNF two books I was extremely excited about reading. I stuck it out…

I Ain’t Doin’ It – Review

Thank you to Simon & Schuster/Howard Books and Netgalley for the chance to read I Ain’t Doin’ It: Unfiltered Thoughts from a Sarcastic Southern Sweetheart by Heather Land. Humor is 100% subjective and I often have a hard time finding “funny books” humorous, but luckily Heather Land’s wit is right up my alley. I tend…

The Escape Room – Review

I’m normally not drawn to the synopsis of a book, I’m more of a cover gal, but when I read the blurb for The Escape Room I had to have it. I was instantly drawn to this book and wanted to read it immediately. I’m thankful to my friends at St. Martin’s Press allowed me…

Top Ten Tuesday: Thanksgiving

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Happy Tuesday, everyone!! Today is a Thanksgiving-themed freebie for Top Ten Tuesday, so I thought it would be a perfect day to practice a little gratitude and list ten things I’m thankful for! 1. God. At all times, I’m thankful for a…

November TBR

My plan for November consists of finally using my Kindle Unlimited Trial and reading as many Indie books as I can fit in before the trial expires. Many of the books have been on my TBR for years, including all of R.S. Grey’s early works I haven’t had a chance to read yet and Loving…

Introvert Power – Review

After reading Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking by Susan Cain earlier this year, I have been on a mission to accept my introversion and help other introverts learn about this quality in themselves.  I was worried this book may be redundant and would not be able to teach me more about…

A Man Called Ove – Review

I knew I’d love A Man Called Ove because I love cranky old men, perhaps that’s why I married one. 😉 I wish there were more people like Ove in the world. Maybe that sounds strange if you’ve read this book, but I firmly believe things would be better than they are today with more characters like him. This…
