That’s Not How Social Anxiety Works

Suddenly Single by Carol Wyer

March 25, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. This book will be released on April 8, 2019. So this book ended up being a disappointment. I was all ready to read about a woman that is dealing with a separation and finding herself single after many years as part of a couple. Instead there were a whole host of other things happening in this book that in the end didn’t work together for me. Most was […]

Not Needed for Series

Beach House Memories by Mary Alice Monroe

March 25, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Spoilers for those who have not read Beach House #1 and Swimming Lessons otherwise known as Beach House #2). I ultimately felt bored and slightly letdown by the third book in the series. I honestly considered just passing it up since I am not a fan of reading about affairs in romance novels. Between that and how Lovie honestly seemed to ignore her two kids for her “romance” I wasn’t feeling the plot at all. And when Monroe showed how and why Lovie ended up […]

IOU

I Owe You One by Sophie Kinsella

March 25, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

The main reason why I didn’t give this five stars is that Fixie bugged me up until almost the 50 percent mark of this book. She was a pushover and I noticed that both times she got swept up in a man, that’s all that mattered. I also thought the ending was a bit weak with the mother not being informed about all that went on. I think that would have been better going forward for the family. Maybe there should have been an epilogue […]

Too Many POVs that Added Nothing

What Happened to Us? by Faith Hogan

March 25, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

This looked interesting so I got it on my Kindle this past weekend. I think I may read more Faith Hogan in the future. She can definitely write and plot a story. I just think that adding two of the POVs did nothing for the book and actually caused it to drag. I started skipping over those POVs toward the end of the book since the POVs with Carrie and Kevin were more interesting to me. “What Happened to Us?” is about Carrie Nolan and […]

Romantic Comedies are my favorite genre, and these ones are good

Rule Breaker by Lily Morton

Risk Taker by Lily Morton

A couple of weeks ago I discovered a new contemporary LGBTQ romance writer, Roan Parrish, whose work I really enjoyed. Finding a new author is always exciting for me, as I have a tendency to read everything by the authors I like. I’ve been working my way through Roan Parrish’s work, but her books tend towards the heavy and serious, and I found myself looking for something light and romantic…enter this series. Lily Morton’s Mixed Messages series consists of three books: the first book is […]

The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang Finished Feb. 21, 2019, took 4days to read 4 Stars on Goodreads Genre: Romance Rating 4/9 for 2019 overall, 1/3 for Romance Well, this was a fun and fast read! I came across The Kiss Quotient from one of my favorite bloggers, Grace at The Stripe. She is an avid reader and I knew this would be a good fluffy romance read based on her recommendation. Stella is a very successful econometrician (whatever that is) in Palo Alto, California. […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
