I wanted to like this book much more than I did, partly because I think the cover is extremely cute. :) It’s a romance between a young woman who inherited a bookstore, but doesn’t read and a romance author. The story is basically what you’d expect it to
I picked up this book off a sale rack in a bookstore in Chicago a few years ago. It caught my eye because I considered myself to have one foot in the fashion world (albeit hand-made fashion). While I am less in that world now, I did finally pick it
I made an error of judgment and only brought one novel on our Nova Scotia trip, which I finished before the trip was over. So, I looked through my wish list for books that were available to read in the Kindle app, which is how this one was added to
I am a morning person, and as a morning person, I begin most days excited about the day ahead and what I might be able to accomplish in it. Morning me writes blog posts in my head while I drive to work. Morning me thinks about how I will totally
I was intrigued by this book, but honestly didn’t know much about it when I started it. It did not disappoint. It is set in a sci-fi world with enough bits of imagined history, culture, and technology woven in to make it feel complete. The political intrigue touches on
Assuming I recorded all of them in my StoryGraph account, I read 17 books last year. It’s not a lot, but it was just over the goal I had set for myself. According to StoryGraph my top mood was “emotional,” with 10 books fitting that category. This was followed
I have realized that I would absolutely read way more books in a year if I decided to devote my reading time solely to romance. These are quick reads for me, the ones I am most likely to stay up way too late reading, or pick up on a weekend
This book begins with a stillbirth, a tragic loss, yet the woman who had just left the tiny body behind in the wilderness seemed somehow cold and distant to me. When I first started reading this book, I didn’t make it very far before setting it aside. But eventually
I saw a moose who wasn’t there and thought of you. Yesterday, he had been there—standing tall and majestic. My breath caught in my throat as I came up over the rise where the trees give way to the blueberry barren and caught sight of him walking towards
Before I dove back into the darkness of the other book I am still trying to make my way through, I took a break to enjoy something light and happy. Romance novels are a favorite of mine, even though I’ve had to reach my middle adulthood to feel like
On Sunday, October 20, 2024, I sat on a rock listening to the waves rush against the rocky point of Western Head in Cutler. I couldn’t help but be grateful to be in this wild and beautiful place. The waves rushed back and forth in their never-ending dance with
Oddly, I set aside a book I had started that felt too dark and then somehow managed to read two other fairly dark books. This is the second of those. While it is definitely dark, it is also one of the most engaging books I have ever picked up. The
