I don’t usually review new-new releases. As someone who gets most of her books from the library, it’s rare that I get a book in the first week after release. This one, though, I was so excited about that I requested that at least three of my libraries purchase it, getting myself in on a… Continue reading Week Thirty-Four: Hook, Line, and Sinker

Week Thirty-Two: The Match
***This is a review of an upcoming release. This title is scheduled to be released on March 15, 2022.*** I picked up a Harlan Coben book on a whim sometime in the summer of 2005.

Week Thirty-One: By Any Other Name
I like books. I like writing. I like books about writing, and books about books. So, I was predisposed to really like this book. What she doesn't know about love could fill a book. With a successful career as a romance editor, and an engagement to a man who checks off all ninety-nine boxes on… Continue reading Week Thirty-One: By Any Other Name
Week Thirty: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
Do you know that feeling when you wake up in the middle of the night, and you are in the middle of a great dream?

And for a panicked thirty seconds, you grasp… Continue reading Week Thirty: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
Week Twenty-Nine: All The Feels
I wanted to love this book. Hot Actor/Plus-Size Girl is just the sort of representation that THIS curvy girl wants to see. So when this one came in at the library, I was pretty excited to see what Olivia Dade did with it. Alexander Woodroe has it all. Charm. Sex appeal. Wealth. Fame. A starring… Continue reading Week Twenty-Nine: All The Feels
Week Twenty-Eight: Things We Never Got Over

I found Riley Thorne and the Dead Guy Next Door, which is everything that the Stephanie Plum books could have been if Stephanie were less of a selfish,… Continue reading Week Twenty-Eight: Things We Never Got Over
Week Twenty Seven: Eight Perfect Hours
Have you ever had eight perfect hours with someone you didn’t know? A first date, a train trip, an airport in a storm? I have. His name was Dante, and he was a friend of my brother’s who was invited to an end-of-summer cookout at my parents’ house. We were in our twenties, both in… Continue reading Week Twenty Seven: Eight Perfect Hours
Week Twenty—Six: Duke, Actually
I had planned another book for this week’s review, but I got sick instead. The symptoms were similar enough to Omicron symptoms that I did get tested; results aren’t back till Sunday but a rapid test today was negative, so I’m going to stay isolated till Sunday, but I’m pretty sure that it’s just a… Continue reading Week Twenty—Six: Duke, Actually
Week Twenty-Five: The Matzah Ball
This one is late, y’all. I have always posted new reviews on Wednesday, largely because that was the day when I didn’t have any other memes going on. But the travel to my parents’ last week, followed by a long-overdue vet visit on the day we got back (more trouble than it should be, but…it… Continue reading Week Twenty-Five: The Matzah Ball
