Book Review: If It Makes You Happy by Julie Olivia
I simply could not pass this book by when I heard that it’s a romcom set in the 90s. Better yet, it’s set in the 90s at a New England bed and breakfast during the fall. I picked the book up around Thanksgiving, which is always the time of year I feel myself craving some…

Book Review: My First Noel by Danelle Harmon
Yet again, I am guilty of jumping into the middle of a series… but I was in the mood for a sweet and historical Christmas story and this novella delivered…

Book Review: Her Lost Words by Stephanie Marie Thornton
Following the lives of both Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley, Her Lost Words captures a transcendent bond between mother and daughter, even though they only had a few days together in their lifetimes…

Book Review: Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez
I didn’t know how I was going to like this book given how much I loved Just for the Summer, but also how indifferent I felt to Part of Your World. Happily, I ended up enjoying this one so much!…
