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…

Book Review: In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren
Normally with group reads I try really, really hard to find something to convince myself to bump up my rating for a book I didn’t enjoy, but I can’t with this one. To everyone I read this with who enjoyed this, I apologize!…

Book Review: I’m Engaged to Mothman by Paige Lavoie
I don’t know if my reading tastes are in the process of changing or if I just have a strange soft spot for Mothman, but I am having so much fun with this series. I read I’m in Love with Mothman a couple of months ago and I’m so happy I didn’t have to wait too long…

I’ve come across a number of historical fiction books centered around names in the entertainment industry. Diva has been the first I’ve read about an opera singer.

Book Review: Practice Makes Perfect by Sarah Adams
For some reason, I’m a person who tends to prefer the sequels over the first installments. I read this book back to back with When in Rome and found myself much more attached to Annie and Will than Amelia and Noah…

Book Review: When in Rome by Sarah Adams
It’s summer! There’s something about the warmer weather that draws me into romcoms though it’s not my go-to genre. When in Rome has been catching my eye for a couple of months now. Admittedly, I was very disappointed the book wasn’t actually set in Rome, Italy, but it grew on me…

Book Review: Fortunes of War by Gordon Zuckerman
I’ve read a few espionage novels and though it’s not my go-to genre, the descriptions always seem to draw me in. Fortunes of War stood out in particular in this instance as I’m always looking for a new perspective on the times surrounding World War II…
