I really enjoyed this memoir. I never knew that Kelly Bishop had such an illustrious Broadway career. Entertaining, captivating, and nostalgic.

4.5 Stars

I love any little bit of Nick and Charlie's story that I can get! A sweet little novella about the importance of communication and honesty in relationships.

4 Stars

I absolutely loved this book! So cute, and such a good mystery. I didn't figure it out until the big reveal. I cannot wait to continue this series with these delightful ‘creatures'!

5 Stars

This was a delightful look at what could have befallen the various characters from Pride and Prejudice after that final chapter. Funny and wickedly clever.

So good! I loved this story, and I loved Scarlett and Lukas. Ali Hazelwood is quickly becoming one of my favorite romance authors.

Lovely, as usual with MHN ❤️ I really resonated with the theme of renewal and tackling new things.

Fantastic memoir with a great narration by the author. I learned so much about disability representation and visibility in our country. Important, but easy to understand.

5 Stars

I enjoyed the story of this book much more than the last in the series. There was some suspense, and history, and fantastical elements which made for a fun story!

Such a hard read, but such an important one. This is the first WWII book I've read that focused on the aftermath of the war. How they dealt with such tragedy, and yet carried so much hope. Beautiful and heartbreaking.

5 Stars

This was a sweet little romance! I liked the grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity romance. I liked Georgie's self-discovery journey. I liked her friendship with Bel. Cute and fun and sweet!

My daughter (8 years old) seemed to enjoy this one. I wished it had been less fraught with peril, and that they had gotten to see more of the castle itself.

What a fun and unique world! I loved getting to dive into this tale (pun fully intended, I'm sorry haha). I loved the sea dragons, and the markings (the bat, the spider, the sharks), and the very beautiful world that Lucier created. My only complaint is that I wish I had gotten to see more of Hanalei and Sam's relationship blossom.

4 Stars

I enjoyed this book, just as I have enjoyed all of Hazelwood's other books. I liked getting to see Rue's shell slowly break down, bit by bit. I do wish we had gotten more of the friends' stories, but there is always the next book.

4 Stars

Gorgeous book about a nuanced and complicated family. I loved this book so much. The storytelling was beautifully done. I really loved the magical realism mixed with historical fiction.

5 Stars

Molly was just as charming as in the first book of this delightful series. This had some very fun flashbacks to Molly as a child, which I thoroughly enjoyed. So fun!

4 Stars

I always enjoy the spirit of a retelling, and I thought Peter Pan would be a fun one. I wish this was more fantastical, and less rooted in reality and science. I also found Holly to be kind of hard to root for. But, the ending was riveting!

3.5 Stars

I am so inspired to become a front yard person! I have long wished that I actually knew my neighbors, and this book has given me some tools to actually make that happen.

4.5 Stars

Gorgeous, brilliant and moving

I love this series so much! It was like snuggling up in a warm blanket. I loved getting to see a softer side of Dex and getting to know Lulu. Seeing Stacey and the rest of the characters from the first three books was delightful.

5 Stars

After loving the first book in this series, I had high hopes for this one. Such a slow start, and I was honestly just bored through the first half of this book. I do want to see how the story ends, but I think I need to wait before diving into book 3.

3 Stars

This was a fascinating look at Hollywood in the 1950's and 60's, and how it was for black women who were passing as white. The family drama and mystery were well done as well.

4 Stars

This was a fun dive into the past! I really enjoyed getting to read Saint and Isolde's love story. I felt that the beginning was pretty slow, but it picked up steam towards the middle.

4 Stars

An unsettling read, for sure. Parts were confusing, but I believe intentionally so. Not my fave, but I'm glad I read it.

3.5 Stars

I've always been a fan of Francine Rivers. This is the first contemporary novel I've read by her, and I really enjoyed it. Great story and great relationships.
