Review: “Not Another Manwhore”

I chose this book from an ARC program because I enjoyed two other books by this author duo — My Favourite Mistake and My Cover Model. The Premise Bree has had her heart broken after multiple men cheated on her, so she’s now sworn off...

Review: “Raising, And Losing, My Remarkable Teenage Mother”

A heartwarming and heartbreaking memoir of a mother/daughter love that knows no limits This was my seventeenth book I chose via the Reedsy Discovery program, for which I am the single approved reviewer for this new book. Although memoirs are not my usual genre, the...

“Amalgamated Darkness” – a Short Story Collection

So… remember when I recently lamented that short-story writers are the best secret-keepers? Well, I got tired of keeping that secret… for a few of my stories, at least! I’m thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of my very first SHORT STORY COLLECTION! I’ve partnered with...

Review: “The Wave”

A powerful and heart-wrenching tale of motherhood, grief, illness, self-discovery and redemption This was my sixteenth book I chose via the Reedsy Discovery program, for which I am the single approved reviewer for this new book. I chose it because the synopsis and preview drew...

Review: “Rue”

For this book, the author reached out to request a review via my website. I liked the sound of it, so I was happy to read and review. The Premise Rue is working as a singer at a bar when she is swept off her...

Review: “This Is Your Life”

After reading another book “Everywhere, Always” by the same author, and later on “The Stillness Before The Start“, I grabbed this one right away when I saw it on an ARC program. The Premise History nerd “commoner” Julianna is working in New York City as...

Review: “The Bend in Redwood Road”

I snapped this book up from a free promotion via a newsletter, as I was in the mood for a good women’s fiction. The Premise Gwen has had the perfect upbringing with her adoptive family, and has no reason to look for her biological parents...

Review: “How To Get Planning Permission: An Insider’s Secret”

A must-read reference guide for UK homeowners who want to build their dream home This was my fifteenth book I chose via the Reedsy Discovery program, for which I am the single approved reviewer for this new book. While far from my usual genre, I...
