Book Review: Say You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez
Thankfully, I was warned that this book treads into darker topics/depictions than what you would normally find in a romcom. Even with this warning, I was surprised by just how sad it became. I don’t mind reading sad books, but for someone looking for a pick-me-up, this isn’t going to be it…

Book Review: Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid
This was one of my most anticipated releases of 2025. Taylor Jenkins Reid has written a couple of my favorite books. When I saw that Atmosphere was going to be set in the 1980s space program, I was ecstatic. With this excitement, I forgot that this would likely be a romance. I was still keen…

Book Review: Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez
I accidentally read this series out of order, beginning with Just for the Summer. Although the books can be read as standalones, I realized while reading Part of Your World that I was definitely missing some nuance and backstory/context…

Book Review: Beautiful World, Where Are You by Sally Rooney
I knew going into this book that the style of writing was going to be different than what I am used to, so I actually started this as an audiobook to avoid the whole ‘no quotation marks’ issue. I have read books written in this style in the past and enjoyed them, so I wasn’t…

Book Review: The Lamplighter’s Bookshop by Sophie Austin
It’s not often that I read books set at the turn of the 20th Century. I forget what a cozy era this can be in books. Add a bookshop and you’ve got the makings of a perfect rainy day read…

Book Review: Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry
Going into this book, I’d read and heard a lot of mixed reviews saying that this book deviates from Emily Henry’s typical style. I wasn’t too concerned about this because the style of this book actually aligns more with my typical reading preferences, so I feel I was lucky in this regard…

Book Review: Emily Wilde’s Compendium of Lost Tales by Heather Fawcett
I must say, I’m impressed with myself for starting and finishing this series without a major gap in between the books. I read Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries this past November and I finished Compendium in March…

Book Review: Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherlands by Heather Fawcett
Picking up where Encyclopaedia of Faeries ends, Emily Wilde is beginning another project: mapping the faerie realms. Her research, along with the interest of Wendell Bambleby, brings her to map and study the various portals to these realms…

Book Review: First-Time Caller by B.K. Borison
I’ve been curious about B.K. Borison’s books, but First-Time Caller is the first I’ve picked up. Not being a spice reader, I admit to skipping those scenes, but the story surrounding those moments made for an enjoyable read…
