Way earlier this year, I recommended a YA romance, The Do-Over by Lynn Painter to my daughter. I thought she might enjoy it. She said ok (she has a ginormous TBR of her own) and nothing else was said. Fast forward to the new school year (middle school, omg), she comes home with a book […]
Y’all. I didn’t even have this on my TBR. It was on the new books cart for my department at work and once I read the synopsis, I was IN. It took me a minute to get into this second chance romance, but about chapter three or so, I was so hooked. The banter was […]
This was really interesting to me to read. As a bonus mom to a bonus daughter, my heart really ached for both Charlie and for Bailey. Their bio parents did an absolute shit job communicating with them and helping them transition into these new living situations. We emphasize communication immensely with aforementioned daughter. We communicate […]
This was an amazing read! I waited for months to get it from Libby and it was so worth the wait. Adventure, strong female main character, magic, and Dragons! A great read, no matter the age of the reader. This is a YA book, aka, there is one kiss, very innocent. I devoured it in […]
One of the funnier memoirs I’ve read this year. I loved the callouts to just how damn white he is (I also glow in the dark) and hearing more about SNL behind the scenes is always fun. I agree with his mom though, maybe he should stop going to Central America on vacation, something always […]
This is a cute book. Set around a teenage girl and her idea of perfect love, so there’s obviously no spicy, but it is so sweet. There is also a playlist available from Spotify and I also pulled it into YouTube Music for people like me who don’t have Spotify. There is much T. Swift on it! […]
Continuing down my Full House memoir lane, and as with Jodie’s, a book that’s been out for awhile, Bob Saget’s memoir is my latest memoir read. It was interesting reading this a few years after his death. Knowing he did find love again, and also being able to hear his side of some of the […]
This was an incredible and incredibly difficult book to read. I didn’t know about this memoir until recently, but it has been out for fifteen years. I mean, wow. I knew she had struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, but reading her struggles was a whole other level. I appreciate how candid she was in […]
This was a really hard read to listen to. Billy Dee is showing his age, and I really didn’t think he’d be narrating his own memoir when I learned of it at Motor City Comic Con last fall. But he did. At MCCC he was very slow, and his handler? manager? guy who does talking […]
I devoured several of Olivia Dade’s romances last summer, and I was super excited to see that she had another book coming out earlier this year. Olivia often has plus size women in the FMC roles in her novels, this was no different. I really like how she lovingly describes larger women, their beauty and […]
