Review: A Work in Progress

"I refuse to live a life of regret. I refuse to hope things will get better in the future when I have complete control over making them the best possible right here and now.

Review: Taking Chances

July 25, 2020July 24, 2020Leave a comment

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

Review: Lola and the Boy Next Door

June 9, 20202 Comments

I actually read this book before its predecessor, Anna and the French Kiss.  Why?  I liked the plot and I hadn't realized it was a part of a series by Stephanie Perkins.  So, yes, I did read the first book knowing Anna and St. Clair's fate since they both appear in this book.  Oops. But … Continue reading Review: Lola and the Boy Next Door

Review: Anna and the French Kiss

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

Review: The Bookshop on the Corner

May 24, 2020May 24, 20201 Comment

First off, I just need to say how I relate to Nina with my love for books.  There really is nothing like suggesting a book to a patron and having them come back and tell me that they loved the book!  That is one of my favorite parts of my job - reader's advisory.  And … Continue reading Review: The Bookshop on the Corner

Review: How to Eat a Cupcake

May 18, 2020May 16, 20201 Comment

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
