Book Review: Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller
I’m normally not drawn to YA Fantasy, but the cover of this one caught my eye at the bookstore. Outside of One Piece and Frenchman’s Creek, I’ve never ventured into pirate stories. I thought this one might be a fun read…

Book Review: The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez
It was interesting experiencing Abby Jimenez’s earlier work after reading her more recent books. Even though a lot didn’t sit well with me in this story, it’s nice to see that there’s a quality in her writing that has remained the same even as she’s grown as an author…

Book Review: Twice in a Lifetime by Melissa Baron
I’ve had this sitting on my bookshelf for a couple of years now and I figured I’d pick it up when I was in need of a lighthearted book… This is why we shouldn’t judge books by their covers. Although I didn’t get the fluffy romcom I assumed it would be, it wound up being…

Book Review: Good Spirits by B.K. Borrison
I will never grow tired of A Christmas Carol retellings. I don’t know if I would necessarily consider Good Spirits a complete retelling given the major shift in dynamics, but the concept is there, and it feels fresh…

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: Lovelight Farms by B.K. Borrison
This has been one of my most anticipated reads of 2025. For the past couple of years, I’ve gone back and forth about wanting to pick it up because I loved the cover, but I had other Christmas-themed books I’d been saving to read. After reading my first B.K. Borrison book earlier this year, I…

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…
