Review: Hello Stranger by Katherine Center
When you are a voracious reader, it sometimes feels like you have read it all. Hello Stranger gets kudos for being the most original, unique book I’ve read this year. I couldn’t put it down.

Review: Bookshop Cinderella by Laura Lee Guhrke
Historical romance meets Pretty Woman in Bookshop Cinderella. The fact that it centers around a strong-minded bookstore owner did my bookish heart good.
Review: A Love Catastrophe by Helena Hunting
A Love Catastrophe is billed as an opposites attract, grumpy/sunshine romantic comedy, which ordinarily is right up my alley. However, the execution falls flat.
Audiobook Review: King of Wrath by Ana Huang
I enjoyed King of Wrath. Two warring gangster families, a little blackmail, an arranged marriage, and tons of enemies-turned-lovers chemistry. What’s not to like?
Audiobook Review: Good as Gold by Sarina Bowen
Good as Gold features a single woman with a planned pregnancy premise—my personal catnip. As an added bonus, it’s part of the True North universe. This series has long held a soft spot in my heart, and I’m always excited to reunite with the Shipley and Rossi families in their small Vermont town.
Top Ten Tuesday: Things That Make Me Instantly Not Want to Read a Book
Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic is Things that make me instantly NOT want to read a book (immediate turn-offs or deal breakers).

Review: Happy Place by Emily Henry
I have liked Emily Henry’s previous books, despite their tendency to be overhyped. I was pleasantly surprised that Happy Place exceeded my expectations. I thoroughly enjoyed this heartfelt tale.
Review: Brutal Prince by Sophie Lark
Brutal Prince has one fatal flaw. Remember kindergarten, when you couldn’t wait for Show and Tell Day to show off your favorite collectible and see what your classmates brought? The telling part was ok, but it was the showing that really captured my attention. Brutal Prince suffers from too much telling and not nearly enough showing.
When Real Life Gets in the Way of Blogging
I’m going to be honest with you. I have been riding the struggle bus lately, and blogging has taken a seat way in the back. I hate it when real life gets in the way of blogging.
Audiobook Review: By a Thread by Lucy Score
Lucy Score flaunts her dirty birdy side in By a Thread, a grumpy/sunshine, enemies-to-lovers office rom com. It’s warm, funny, hotter than Hades, and I was glued to every entertaining moment.
