We've almost made it to the end of another workweek, and I am so excited for the long weekend ahead. I'm hoping it will give me the chance to rest up that I didn't really get over Christmas, so I can pull myself together for the coming weeks. If this week hasn't been particularly great, … Continue reading Reading Roundup #50: In Search of Rest
Once in a blue moon, you open a book, begin to read, and get hit by that feeling — that warm glow in your heart that whispers "this one" — and you just know you're in for a treat.

That's when it's great to have a list of reliable favorites, authors you can turn to and know you'll get … Continue reading Reading Roundup #49: Bookheart
This winter, my favorite book club is celebrating our 2 year anniversary, and looking back on all we've been through together has been a blast.

Whether its the lost memories of a wanderer, princesses choosing between love and magic, or romantic heroes racing to … Continue reading Reading Roundup #47: Dangerous Desires
Sometimes I go on a NetGalley binge and request anything that looks even vaguely entertaining — which is how I ended up with an e-ARC of Lauren Forsythe's upcoming romcom, The Fixer Upper. I didn't know what to expect going in, but I was hooked immediately by the great characters, the high-speed plot, and the … Continue reading The Fixer Upper by Lauren Forsythe
Hello, friends and neighbors! It's been fairly quiet around here — in fact, I wondered if I would have enough to talk about for a Roundup this week, but I managed to squeeze in a few goodies. During a week with ups and downs, revisiting an old favorite and crossing off two more that have … Continue reading Reading Roundup #46: Timing is Everything
I'm playing catch-up this week because the past two weeks were so Much that I had no energy for blogging. But my brain seems to be recovering, so while I have its attention, let's review!
