Hello! I'd like to start by thanking y'all for your patience between blog posts. Life's getting busier and posts are getting more infrequent, which is why I was so excited for Isabelle Kenyon to reach out to me about another blog tour! This time, we're taking a look at The Love Genes by Eleni Cay [...]

The *First* Wife
Oh my goodness, The Paris Wife by Paula McClain DEFINITELY kept me up past my bedtime. It’s been such a crazy week, I barely had time to read (sorry for the vlog lovers!) which was *a bummer* because this book was so emotionally evocative and compelling that I loved every minute. In case you didn’t [...]
Secrets Upstairs
I took The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins on my vacation and learned a couple things—1) I tend to pack my vacations with enough things it’s hard to read, 2) don’t get separated from your book on the plane… see point one, and 3) I think I’m a fan of reimaginings! For the classic lit [...]
Rose Gold
Y'all. Jessica Olson's upcoming book A Forgery of Roses (coming out next month) is DELIGHTFUL. It's funny, it's dramatic, it's romantic, it's magical... I cannot tell you how much I liked it! (and here's a link to my vlog so you can hear me fangirl too) This is a complex book--it's fantasy, it's romance, it's [...]
Beautifully Reimagined
Y'all. (and I get extra ability to say that in this post because like Daisy Fay, I'm [technically] from Kentucky.) So I've never actually read The Great Gatsby, I've seen the film adaptations of course, but now I simultaneously want to and feel like I don't have to after reading Jillian Cantor's novel Beautiful Little [...]
Hannah’s Secrets
I cannot begin to tell you how much I enjoyed Jan Eliasberg's WW2 historical fiction novel, Hannah's War! (Here's a link to the vlog review) Split between Germany, 1938, and New Mexico, 1945, readers learn of the work, and secrets, of Dr. Hannah Weiss. She's a brilliant Austrian-Jewish physicist who's been banished by her country, [...]
Soul Sisters
Wow, you guys, I didn't 100% know what I was getting into with Judithe Little's historical fiction novel The Chanel Sisters, but I am so glad that I picked it up and finally read it! (Real quick--here's the link to my vlog for this fantastic novel) Taking place between 1897 and 1921, Little takes readers [...]
Mob Boss
From the first moment I read KristiferAnn's mobster series, I knew I was hooked. The third book in the saga, Marchetti lived up to my expectations and I'm excited to see where the characters go next! (You can access the mini vlog here; the full length vlog can be accessed from there.) **Mild Spoiler**There's a [...]
Burn, Burn, Burn
Jason Horton, I've decided, is the king of quick action-packed, romance-packed stories... for this blog anyway. His first short story, Mine, reeled you in and his next book, Burn turns up the heat! Pun intended. (You can also access my mini-vlog here! Full length will be in the mini's description) Burn picks up where the [...]
Turning Points
Surprise! It's a double review week thanks to the lovely Isabelle Kenyon recruiting me for a blog tour. This time, I've got a riveting story for y'all, and I think you're really gonna love it. Let author Nikki Dudley take you on an adventure through London--and briefly abroad--on the trail of a potential murderer in [...]
