Darling Rose Gold – Review

BLURB: For the first eighteen years of her life, Rose Gold Watts believed she was seriously ill. She was allergic to everything, used a wheelchair and practically lived at the hospital. Neighbors did all they could, holding fundraisers and offering shoulders to cry on, but no matter how many doctors, tests, or surgeries, no one…

The Wives – Review

Many thanks to Harlequin/Graydon House & Netgalley for a review copy. It’s no secret I’m a huge Tarryn Fisher fan and The Wives was among my most highly anticipated releases for 2019. I could hardly contain my excitement when I saw I had the chance to read it early! I tossed my TBR to the…

Hi friends! I’m back from an exciting weekend in Richmond, Virginia for The Girls are Back in Town book signing. I tagged along with my dear friend, Christine Brae, to assist at her table and was able to meet up with many reader friends along the way. It was such a treat to meet fellow…

F*ck Marriage – Review

You guys have heard me gush about Tarryn Fisher’s books for quite a while now (that’s an understatement). She was one of the first authors I discovered when I started reading avidly again and quickly became my favorite. She has a way of injecting wisdom into every book in a unique way I’ve never experienced…

Running Barefoot – Review

When Josie Jensen, an awkward 13-year-old musical prodigy crashes headlong into new-comer Samuel Yazzie, an 18-year-old Navajo boy full of anger and confusion, an unlikely friendship blooms. Josie teaches Samuel about words, music and friendship, and along the way finds a kindred spirit. Upon graduation, Samuel abandons the sleepy, small town in search of a…

Verity – Review

I have read every single Colleen Hoover novel, some even multiple times because as Tarryn Fisher said, Colleen’s books have a pulse. Her characters are living, breathing people presenting readers with stories we cannot put down. They are the crack of the written word. Verity is no exception to this rule, but this rule only….

Top Ten Tuesday: Bookish Items/Merchandise I’d Like to Own

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. •This week we’re discussing 10 Bookish Items we’d like to own. Number one on my list is one of these adorable TBR carts. I receive books weekly in the mail to photograph and post to Instagram. At the moment, all of these…

Book Blogger Questionnaire

Hi everyone! It’s been so much fun to get this new blog up and running and I thank you all for being here with me. I’m eager to start reviewing books here and to begin writing a few other bits and bobs. 😉 Now for a fun bookish questionnaire to share a bit about my…

Lie Lay Lain – Review

As my fellow PLNs (Passionate Little Nutcases) know, when Tarryn Fisher recommends a Made by Charmingly Created: https://etsy.me/2PXA9Ii book, you have no choice but to get your hands on it too (hence the shirt). So, like everyone else, when Tarryn told the folks in her reader group to pick up Lie Lay Lain by Bryn Greenwood, I added…

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…

Folsom – Review

Tarryn Fisher and Willow Aster took gender stereotypes and kicked them in the balls. It’s no secret I love everything Tarryn Fisher writes, so when I saw she was pairing with Willow Aster, another author I love, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book. I’m grateful for the opportunity to read an…

The Night Child – Review

Thank you to Blackstone Publishing and Netgalley for the chance to read and review this novel. Just look at this cover! I’ll admit, I was totally judging this book by its gorgeous cover, hoping the story inside would be as exciting as it sounded from the blurb. I was not disappointed in the least. The Night…

Don’t Judge a Book by its Cover… or Title

We’ve all heard the age-old saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover,” more times than we can count. Obviously, we all know it means we could miss out on a beautiful story by judging a cover harshly. Yet, as the judgmental humans we are, this saying doesn’t deter us from skipping out on books…

Atheists Who Kneel and Pray – Review

“Gimme, Gimme more, Gimme, More, Gimme, Gimme, More..” Tarryn Fisher makes me sing Britney Spears after every book of hers I finish. I want more of her words. I want to live inside her mind. I want to be her friend, absorb some of her badassery. She’s my favorite author for a reason, but often…

God-Shaped Hole – Review

When Tarryn Fisher recommends a book, I read it, like a good little sheeple should. I’ve had God-Shaped Hole on my TBR for a while, but when I saw Tarryn and Tiffanie’s live Facebook video a couple of weeks ago I bought it, finally. Now let me start by saying, I cannot give this book a star-rating. It doesn’t feel right…

Bad Mommy – Review

There is a reason Tarryn … (wait, what’s her name again?) Fisher is my favorite writer of all-time, and it was further solidified with Bad Mommy.  I’ve read every single Tarryn book this year alone, and I’ve never read anything as deep and soul-stirring as her writing.  She gets to the darkest depths of humanity, slashes…

Holidays with the Belles & Meeting Tarryn Fisher!

Originally published 2/13/18. This weekend was what bookish dreams are made of, you guys! I bought a ticket to Holidays with the Belles for a few reasons, I wanted to meet Talon from Under the Cover Blog in person, I wanted to meet Molly E. Lee and Lauren Campbell, and I needed my favorite book of 2017, The Ghostwriter by…
