The Cellar has been on my radar for a while, since one of my coworkers told me about it. She let me borrow her copy and I finally got around to reading it. It was one of those books that kept me interested, wanting to know what happened next, but in a calm sort of … Continue reading Review: The Cellar
Favorite authors. That's always a fun topic. We all have them, and for our own reasons. Usually it's because we always like their books, but sometimes it can be because we like them as human beings or their writing style. It could also be that we know them on a personal level too, though that's … Continue reading 7 Authors That I Love
Though I hadn't read The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde before reading this book, I knew I had to right away after reading the author's note that she wanted to stick as close to the original story as she could. Ross takes this classic tale and spins it with her own flair … Continue reading Review: Jek/Hyde
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

Then something … Continue reading Review: The Dark Deception (Daphne & Velma #2)
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

This is something I've had for a few years, and I've been meaning to share it with everyone. I finally got around to it now that I decided to update my jar because not only did I read a lot of the titles that were in there from the past few years, but I also … Continue reading The TBR Jar

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
