Book Review | The Geographer’s Map to Romance

Book Review | The Geographer’s Map to Romance

Oh, the pining! Such perfection that it’s pretty closely tied for my favorite India Holton novel The League of Gentlewomen Witches. Having geography be the study of magic and magical disasters was such a fun twist to the academic profession. The characters were all such wonderfully written, from the two main characters to even the […]

Book Review | The Ornithologist’s Field Guide to Love

India Holton’s books are always such a romp of a good time! They’re lighthearted, adventurous, and absurdist while also having a realness to them at the same time. With The Ornithologist’s Field Guide to Love, there’s Beth and Devon who are both so wonderful as characters and as a couple. I always love a good […]

Book Review | A Natural History of Dragons

It’s not a gross exaggeration to say I loved every bit of this book! From learning about Isabella as a young girl to her debut to society to the adventure to Vystrana, every page was delightful and at times even funny. I was definitely expecting to come in to a book about a fake/real person. […]

Book Review | A Winter’s Promise

Wow! I’m shocked I hadn’t heard of this or read it before today because it’s right up my alley. I was pulled into all of this as soon as I read the “Fragment” prologue about god writing when he was happy and furious and then when he was really in a bad mood, he smashed […]

Book Review | Make the Season Bright

I definitely expected this to be a 4 or 5 star read as I usually rate Ashley Herring Blake’s books that high. But this one was a miss for me. I’m unsure what it was, whether it was the second-chance romance aspect or the holiday setting, but something was just not clicking. For the story […]

Book Review | An Academy for Liars

I really thought this was going to be a five star read. It started out so well, Lennon’s life falling apart, the mysterious phone call, this mysterious campus that is hidden from all of Savannah. It had such potential! For starters, I did not like the Lennon and Dante relationship. Even before they got together, […]

Book Review | Whenever You’re Ready

Okay, so this novel was a lot! The novel itself has many themes and ideas in it for only 300 pages from friendship to death to how to handle grief. It was also a lot because I wasn’t expecting my own past trauma with cancer to come rearing it’s ugly head. For starters, I absolutely […]

Book Review | Ten Ways to be Adored When Landing a Lord

I definitely enjoyed this one more than Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake! I absolutely loved Isabel as a character. I thought she was so strong and independent, and her story was just so heart wrenching. Her character arc of learning to trust and love someone was so lovely to read. Isabel’s creation […]

I was so excited to get my hands on You’re the Problem, It’s You! I absolutely loved Don’t Want You Like a Best Friend and couldn’t wait for this one. The story itself was lovely and played so well. James Demeroven was a young man who never wanted a title and just wanted to stay […]

Book Review | Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake

Another book I read for a book club! I have actually never read or heard of Sarah MacLean, but I’m definitely interested in reading the other two books in this series. First off, I want to acknowledge the elephant in the room. I’m so tired of publishers not fitting the book covers with the actual […]
