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…

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!…

Book Review: The Heartbreak Hotel by Ellen O’Clover

Book Review: A Hundred Summers by Beatriz Williams
I keep turning to Beatriz Williams’ books for historical summer beach reads and I don’t know why. I love the concepts. At a glance, the synopses sound good, but then I open the books and I’m greeted with clichéd writing and confusing character dynamics…

Book Review: When We Left Cuba by Chanel Cleeton
Set during the Cuban Missile Crisis era, When We Left Cuba is a blend of espionage and romance. Beatriz, a Cuban exile, is pulled into CIA operations against Fidel Castro.

Book Review: The Lost Story by Meg Shaffer
I knew I was gambling with this book because I didn’t love The Wishing Game even though I really wanted to. I was hopeful when I saw that The Lost Story is supposedly inspired by The Chronicles of Narnia, but I didn’t see it aside from a second realm, and that’s a massive stretch if we’re looking for comparison…
