Week Forty-Nine: Maggie Moves On

June 19, 2022 Lori3 Comments

***This is a review of an upcoming release. This title is scheduled to be released on June 21, 2022.*** Lucy Score is a bit of a conundrum for me. I have said in this space before that she OWNS me, and I stand by that. But earlier today, when I was talking about the books… Continue reading Week Forty-Nine: Maggie Moves On

Week Forty-Eight: An Island Summer

June 11, 2022June 12, 2022 Lori5 Comments

I wanted to love this book, y’all. It has a gorgeous cover, and the synopsis seemed right in my wheelhouse— All that Meghan Gray has left of her beloved Pappy is his cottage on the edge of the shimmering Atlantic Ocean. Longing to feel close to her grandfather, she returns to the golden sands of… Continue reading Week Forty-Eight: An Island Summer

Love Your Library: April/May 2022

June 2, 2022June 2, 2022 Lori2 Comments

I was out of town at my friend’s memorial at the end of April and didn’t realize that I completely forgot to do an April recap until I was halfway through May…and then it was time to get ready for my cruise so…I’m gonna just do two monster months together. Honestly, I would probably just… Continue reading Love Your Library: April/May 2022

Week Forty-Seven: The Secret Life Of Albert Entwistle

June 1, 2022 Lori2 Comments

ALBERT ENTWISTLE WAS A POSTMAN. It was one of the few things everyone knew about him. And it was one of the few things he was comfortable with people knowing.64-year-old Albert Entwistle has been a postie in a quiet town in Northern England for all his life, living alone since the death of his mam… Continue reading Week Forty-Seven: The Secret Life Of Albert Entwistle

Week Forty-Six: Book Lovers

May 28, 2022May 29, 2022 Lori5 Comments

I made a terrible mistake with this book. I started it on a cruise ship, a cruise I was on with friends, friends who had a reasonable expectation that I would pay attention to them. For an entire day, I did not. I read this book in the Japanese restaurant at lunch. I read it… Continue reading Week Forty-Six: Book Lovers

Gone Fishin’

May 21, 2022May 29, 2022 Lori5 Comments

So, I haven’t been around much—-ok, or at all—this week as I prepare for my first vacation since March of 2020. We leave in scant hours, and I am thrilled, exhausted, and anxious. But mostly thrilled. And exhausted. I may check-in with a Sunday Post if I have time, or I may just be back… Continue reading Gone Fishin’

Week Forty-Five: An Unlikely Match

May 21, 2022May 21, 2022 Lori5 Comments

***This is a review of an upcoming release. This title is scheduled to be released on May 26, 2022.*** I really enjoyed this book, but it was shockingly, unrepentantly dark, and that might mean that it’s not for everyone. The cover belies the seriousness with which the subject matter is treated, making this another book… Continue reading Week Forty-Five: An Unlikely Match

Hello, my lovelies. I’m going to share something that I shared on my Facebook earlier this week, so apologies to the two of you who I am Facebook friends with for the dupe. Also, if you want to be Facebook friends, hit me up at facebook.com/loripiper. I’m super liberal and rant as much about politics… Continue reading Sunday Post: May 15, 2022

Week Forty-Four: Something Wilder

May 14, 2022May 15, 2022 Lori1 Comment

***This is a review of an upcoming release. This title is scheduled to be released on May 17, 2022.*** I was pretty late to the bandwagon, but I’ve been a huge fan of Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings since I read The Unhoneymooners last summer. This is my fifth CLo book, and it had big… Continue reading Week Forty-Four: Something Wilder

LTB: Making friends through blogging

May 13, 2022May 13, 2022 Lori4 Comments

This week’s topic comes from Rachel @ A Bookworm in Paradise, who asks: Is blogging a good platform for making friends? Is it only new bloggers that are going to make friends with one another? Does blogging allow for connecting with people of different ages and different backgrounds? How easy or hard has it been… Continue reading LTB: Making friends through blogging

Welcome!

Hi. I’m Lori and this is…well, it’s a blog, and I am just a girl who loves books. Reading them, reading about them, shopping for them, talking about them, thinking about them. Oh, also ice cream, rice krispy treats, animals, and naps. Lots of naps.
