Review: “Through The Peephole”
I have to admit — this was a bit of a strange read for me. The author was looking for her reader tribe, and while that may not be me personally, I was happy to read and review. She classes it “sad, scary stories for...

Review: “When Robins Appear”
This book came to me via an ARC program, and I chose it because I was looking for a touching women’s fiction novel to read. This was an easy read that I devoured in two days and it certainly did not disappoint. The Premise “When...

Review: “Everything That Came Before Grace”
We don’t think twice about creating an entire genre for a broad-spectrum term “Women’s Fiction” but when it comes to fiction for men it’s assumed that there is no such specific thing. But though I labelled it “Family Life Fiction” which would be more understandable...

Your Significant Other & Your Book Babies: A Rant
I’ve seen it many times on writer groups, the wail: “My husband/wife has never even read my book!” And almost everyone responds: “Ah well, that’s for the best, probably not your target reader anyway.” …But is that even the point? I myself have some author...

Review: “Ellipsis”
As a fellow author, it’s one thing to review what draws my fancy at my own leisure, but it’s quite another when I open a book I’ve already promised to review (with no small amount of trepidation, I might add). You see, I’ve been burnt...

Review: “Honeymoon Alone”
I won’t lie — this book started off a bit rocky with me, because it felt like I’d been dumped into the mind of a crazy person! But I’m glad I stuck it out, because I wound up enjoying it quite a lot. *Disclaimer: as...

Review: “She: A Cautionary Tale”
There’s something disturbing and beautiful about this novel, despite the seemingly lacklustre rating. Bear in mind I’m a picky reader, and I know exactly what I loved and didn’t love about it, which I’m happy to share with you so that you can make up...

Happy Book Birthday! (and to me, too!)
Happy Birthday to my second book baby — oh, and to me too! 🙂 That’s right. Some crazy person, two years ago, put a book launch on her birthday! At the time, I thought: “Hey it’d be nice to get reviews streaming in to brighten...

Review: “One Hundred Excuses”
It was refreshing for me — after a litany of heavy-handed bad boy tropes and expletives in my recent reads — to dive into this sweet story. Disclaimer: I was looking for a sweet romance story, in an effort to improve my own writing. I...

Review: “No Reservations”
While I enjoyed this book for the most part, I must admit I’m a little disappointed because I really wanted to love it more. Again, I should share the disclaimer that I was looking for tropes, to widen my own horizon as a writer of...
