The tale of Alex and Eliza is written so beautifully by Melissa de la Cruz, that it seems too good to be based on real people. Of course, I had to remind myself at times that this was not an exact account of Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler's early relationship, but if you told me … Continue reading Review: Alex & Eliza
As readers, we always prefer the books over the movie. However, that doesn't mean we don't like to see our favorite characters and stories come to life on the big screen (or our TVs/laptops). I have to say that I can't really complain about a lot of the movies I've seen that were based off … Continue reading Books I’d Love to See as Films
One thing that I know is that some parents want their kids/teens to read clean fiction. It's sometimes a request I get at work when parents are trying to find books for their teens. Some young adult books I've gone through in the past sometimes aren't that appropriate for teens... or at least I'd think … Continue reading Where To Find Clean Fiction for Your Teen
The Dark Deception picks up where we left Daphne and Velma, which is to solve a mystery that's going on with their friend Shaggy. He pretty much keeps to himself, but the warning they got from Marcy (the vanished girl in the previous book) has them a bit worried, so they tail him. Then something … Continue reading Review: The Dark Deception (Daphne & Velma #2)
First of all... I failed my book-buying ban for July. I made it so far into the month without buying books, then broke on the 25th. Though, doing the math, I did make it 28 days without buying a book, so that counts... right? I didn't read as much as I thought I would this … Continue reading July Wrap Up
Chloe Sanderson's life is a rom-com movie, sort of. Her best friend, Annie, wrote a movie based off of the supposed romantic tension between Chloe and her boss, Nick, that everyone but them seems to be aware of at Nick's coffee shop. Now that the movie is being hyped up, Chloe and Nick are getting … Continue reading Review: Not Like the Movies
I don't normally like to make monthly TBR lists because I am the moodiest reader that I know. However, there are some books that I know I really want to read sooner than later, so I thought maybe making a (tentative) short list of books I want to read this coming month and crossing them … Continue reading My Potential August TBR
Remy doesn't believe in love, and if she's learned anything from her mother's past five marriages, she's better off without it. It never works out, right? She even has a method for dating, which is to not keep a boyfriend for too long, and just so she doesn't string them along, she gives it to … Continue reading Review: This Lullaby
Warning before you read, this review contains major spoilers! I'm a sucker for love triangles, though I usually tend to dislike one of the people caught in said triangle, that wasn't the case for this book. I adored both Chase and Brandon from the start, even tough Chase is the type of guy I would … Continue reading Review: Taking Chances
We're almost a month past the halfway mark of the year, but I still think this is a good time to do this post because by December, the entire list could be different. It'll be interesting to see how it changes by then, if I ever get out of this reading slump I'm in. So … Continue reading Favorite Books of 2020 (so far)

As much as well all love our main characters in stories (after all, it's their story), I have to admit that sometimes the side characters steal the show. In fact, sometimes they really do what with some of the spin-off we get lately, such as Love & Luck, The Bookworm Crush, and Not Like the … Continue reading Favorite Side Characters
This was a fantastic book to read that left me with that empty feeling inside after finishing it because it was just that good! The book is set in Paris, in two different timelines. First we follow present-day Paris with Alice, who has recently lost her grandmother and inherited an apartment in Paris that her … Continue reading Review: The Paper Girl of Paris
