September Recap!

We had two weekends of back to back family weddings so this is coming out a little later! One more stride towards getting back to a more regular posting schedule. So many spooky reads this month! Some favorites: Pumpkin Spice & Poltergeist (ARC) by Ali K. Mulford and K. Elle Morrison I saw a comment […]

The Mayor of Maxwell Street

I liked this book quite a bit. Avery Cunningham is so incredibly talented, and I am shocked this is her debut novel. It almost had a feel to it of a story that has been spun over a decades long career. It was a very intriguing story, and though I ended up having the title […]

Fake It Till You Bake It

A super sweet read, even without the cupcakes! A fake dating, everyone catches feels romance that was light, and the third act disaster was amazing! No break ups because of communication bullshit! It was what they needed, and I really liked how it all came together. I also loved how Jada and Donovan learned from […]

The Wicked Sister

This was an intense book. I was not expecting to read it so fast, but I was absolutely riveted. It also gave me some weird dreams, but I suppose that’s what IĀ get for staying up until 12:30am reading it. The world building was amazing, I had no trouble envisioning the remoteness of the Upper Peninsula, […]

The Fairytale Life of Dorothy Gale

While I am very familiar with the Wizard of Oz and many of its world expansions and re-tellings, this book never really hooked me. Dorothy (Dee) was flat and didn’t really have a lot of growth or internal reflection. Much of the book was her complaining about Gray, which, he was awful, manipulative and terrible […]

Zodiac Academy: The Awakening

Another, but different book club read! I had two book clubs this weekend, and it was excellent! This is a solid 3/5. I am intrigued by the general plot, and want to know what the hell is going on between the different factions. However, I’m very meh about the characters. No one listens to the […]

Bride

The STEM romance queen Ali Hazelwood has turned her attention to fantasy, and I am not sure how we can survive! I was excited to read this because I have thoroughly enjoyed literally everything else Ali has written. I ended up reading this now because Stephanie and I finally both had physical copies, in our […]

Raiders of the Lost Heart

I straight up DEVOURED this book. I started reading Tuesday night and finished it Wednesday afternoon! Though, to be fair, this is a Once Upon a Book Club (OUAB) book, so I had gifties I was really looking forward to getting to! I am not a monthly subscriber, but I do pay attention to their […]

Wrong Place Wrong Time

Wow. I’m not even sure how to write this up without major spoilers! I started reading this for a book club at 2 Dandelions that I wasn’t actually able to attend. Our daughter was at her mom’s for the weekend of Mother’s Day, so I got a Bonus Mother’s Day on the Monday of the […]
