Review: “Falling For My Fling”

I chose this book from an ARC program because I was looking for a quick romance read, and was hoping to find a full story despite the short length of a “prequel”. The Premise Smart, plucky Lori is working at a summer camp for children...

Review: “What Pretty Gets You”

This was my second book that found me via the Reedsy Discovery program, for which I am the single approved reviewer for this new book. I chose it because I was looking for a women’s fiction, and the preview drew me in. This review also...

Review: “My Favourite Mistake”

I chose this book from an ARC program because I had recently read a book by the same author duo, “My Cover Model” which I enjoyed, so I was hoping for something similar. The Premise Long-time besties Griffin and Madeline have grown up together and...

Review: “Moments Like This”

This book found me via an ARC program, and I chose it because I was in need of something light and sweet — and this ticked those boxes for me! The Premise Andrea — “Andie” — sees her life slipping out from under her, after...

Review: “A Perfect Likeness”

I chose this book from an ARC program because it sounded interesting, and I was looking for a “whodunnit” type of novel. The Premise After a long absence, Isobel returns home to the small coastal town Cape Cross where she grew up. Out for a...

Review: “6393 miles”

I chose this book out of hundreds in a book club’s library, because I hadn’t read a YA book in quite awhile, and I was feeling for something sweet and suitable for younger readers. The Premise 14-year-old Chloe’s budding romance with long-term friend and crush...

Review: “My Cover Model”

This book found its way to me via an ARC program, and I chose it because I needed a romantic comedy, after some heavy reads! This surely fit the bill. The Premise Romance author and average-looking 30-something Sydney falls hard and fast for the gorgeous...

P.S.A. to Bookstagram Reviewers: A Rant

Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5… but at least 20 – that’s right: TWENTY — “Bookstagram Reviewers” have reached out to me on Instagram since the year began (and we’ve barely made it to February!)… Them: “I’ll read and review your...
