I'm going to admit right now that the main reason I picked this book up the first time is because of it's setting - Paris, France. Also known as one of my dream destinations, but I'll take reading about it until I actually do get to visit. This story is about a Georgia girl, Anna, … Continue reading Review: Anna and the French Kiss

Growing up I was the only real reader among my friends (though they at least read the Harry Potter books).

How to Eat a Cupcake is a light read that I'd recommend for anyone who likes stories about estranged friends coming back together for a cause. Of course, in this case, the cause is a cupcakery, which is honestly the part that really drew me in. Though the story is slow to get to it, … Continue reading Review: How to Eat a Cupcake
Reading is something that I've loved for, well, as long as I can remember.
