My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I'm reading and enjoying The Unhoneymooners. I'm finding echoes of the relationships between Beatrice and Benedict in Much Ado About Nothing and Elizabeth and Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, and would love to know whether they're intentional.
I just finished the highly addictive
- This one held me captive until I finished it in one sitting! My Review
I am starting a Laurie LeClair Once Upon a Romance marathon. My goal is to read all the books in the series. I am not going to set a time limit because she is always adding new books to the series. So far there are 15 books in the series. I have read two so far. I am on book 3
My main effort will be to get caught up to the most recent book with in the year (July 2019 to July 2020). I set a year because I might read a few self help books in between the marathon.
As a self proclaimed fairytale nerd, I love reinventions of the classics. I am also excited about the new live action Little Mermaid movie Disney is putting out. I think there is a Maleficent (Sleeping beauty) movie coming out this October as well...I am excited about that one too.
Yep one of the best Rogue to Hero books out there.

A Journey of the Heart
A Hero's Tale
Finding Elenore by P.W. Hazeldinehttps://amazon.com/dp/B07V4G51B4 or https://amazon.co.uk/dp/B07V4G51B4
I recently read Sophie Kinsella's latest publication: I Owe You One
and was pleasantly surprised. I say this because I was a big fan of Sophie Kinsella at one time. The first five or six books of her Shopaholic series and her standalones:
—Twenties Girl
—The Undomestic Goddess
—Can You Keep a Secret?
. . . are among my favourite romantic comedies. (Saving I've Got Your Number for later to read as a special treat. My friend assures me it's as good as the books I mentioned above :-)
But then her writing just seemed to have lost its spark. The later books of her Shopaholic series didn't appeal much, and her standalone: Wedding Night actually felt like it was written by someone else! I simply stopped reading her books altogether.
I'm glad I picked up I Owe You One, though. It wasn't a five-star read, but I could see some of her original spark in the book. Looks like I'm going to get my favourite romcom author back after all :-)
Just finished Locked In
