Top 5: Books I read in 2023
This year has gone by both quickly and slowly and in a blur for some reason. I can’t say it was a year of my most cherished and memorable reads, but there have been some new favorites along the way…

Book Review: Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing by Matthew Perry
I hate myself for not reading this before Matthew Perry’s passing. Friends has been a part of my life since I was a little kid and I’ve always been fond of Matthew Perry’s humor, making Chandler my absolute favorite character on the show (and one of my favorite television characters in general). I was interested to know…

Book Review: Who Wants to Marry a Doctor? by Abigail Sharpe
Book Two of the Love Match series! Though not a direct continuation of the previous book, Who Wants to Marry a Cowboy?, there is a connection between the two between character relations and premise…

Book Review: Wendy, Darling by A.C. Wise
I’ve never actually read Peter Pan and have only seen the play and Disney versions a couple of times, however, I enjoy Peter Pan retellings for some reason.

Book Review: Who Wants to Marry A Cowboy? by Abigail Sharpe
Winding down my reading to finish out the year, I thought the Love Match series would be the perfect set of books to pick up. First up is Who Wants to Marry a Cowboy? I found the title intriguing…

Book Review: The Christmas Guest by Peter Swanson

Book Review: A Home for Christmas by Kerry Evelyn
I’ve been waiting since August to read this one! My physical copy is the most adorable little book I own and the content inside was equally as cute. Whole truth: I am completely unfamiliar with the series this novella is based off of (which I intend to change!), but already I love Daisy Mae (Meemaw)…

Book Review: Monarch by Emily Jon Tobias
I’m drawn to stories that rely heavily on the characters and the human condition in general. These themes written as short stories can make the impact even greater given their length. Less time is spent on the details and the focus remains on the emotions. With all of this on my mind when scoping out…

Book Review: Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys
I don’t think I will ever find a book Ruta Sepetys has written that I don’t adore. Her books have set my expectations for all historical fiction astronomically high that I’m at the point where I’m okay if she’s the only historical fiction author I ever read again…

Book Review: All I Want for Christmas by Maggie Knox
I’m always in the mood to pick up a romcom or two around Christmastime. I pick carefully as I’m finicky in the genre. Given I enjoyed The Holiday Swap, I figured another Maggie Knox book would be a safe bet. Sadly, I wasn’t invested this time around…
