The Trouble with Hating You by Sajni Patel Special thanks to Read Forever for providing our copy in exchange for an honest & fair review. So I did I always do and I judge the book by the cover. I’m expecting a cute enemies to lover’s romp but got so much more. Let me back up. Definitely check out the author’s note at the beginning. Honestly, I wish this was more commonplace. It helps my expectations & gives me greater insight into what the author is trying to achieve with the book. I ALWAYS love these details & they enhance my reading experience tenfold. The main female character comes…
The Girl Next Door by Chelsea Cameron
The Girl Next Door by Chelsea Cameron Special thanks to Harlequin for providing our copy in exchange for an honest & fair review. I am so pumped for the Carina Adores line of stories focusing on LGBTQ titles. The Girl Next Door by Chelsea Cameron is an open door F/F romance & it is so sweet & heartwarming. I really like the way Cameron places both women back in their respective hometowns. From here, we have an over the fence type of attraction that is a bit slower & more natural. I read this one in one sitting & would even read it again. THE VERDICT I am Really Into…
Books About Sisters
Books About Sisters I love a story that centers around sisters. Luckily, so does my friend Amy Novelgossip. Here, we have a huge list of Books about Sisters! The Sunshine Sisters by Jane Green Despite some heavier topics it really does read like a light, summery read. At heart it’s a novel about family, forgiveness, acceptance, letting go of painful pasts, and the always complicated relationships between mothers and daughters and sisters. I read it on vacation and it was truly the perfect book to read on the beach. You can read Amy’s full review here. Sunrise on Half Moon Bay by Robyn Carr I started Sunrise on Half Moon Bay…

Stay Sexy and Don’t Get Murdered
Stay Sexy and Don’t Get Murdered Please don’t take away my true crime card, but I am not a fan of the MFM Podcast. That being said, I was super curious about Stay Sexy and Don’t Get Murdered. Karen & Georgia really connect with true crime & I wanted to learn more about that! I can say that on all points, this book delivered. First, I love that Karen & Georgia narrate the audiobook. Even better than that, they read several passages at live shows. This really adds something to it. If you’re a fan of the podcast, I think this would be even more meaningful. There are pieces that…
Strawberry Cobbler Recipe
Strawberry Cobbler Recipe It’s no secret that my family LOVES strawberries. We wait all year for the Hood Strawberry season in Oregon. We visit our favorite berry picking spot & pick until we can’t pick anymore. This way we have plenty of strawberries leftover to freeze. Like most of my recipes, this one came from a mistake. We make so many Berry Crisps at our house. Recently, I kept referring to the crisp as a cobbler. My daughter laughed & laughed. She then turned to me & said, what’s a cobbler? Crunchy & Soft Topping Immediately, we set out to make the Ultimate Strawberry Cobbler Recipe. Now, I’ve eaten my…

Like, if I don’t see everyone reading this book this summer, I will be shocked. Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner has it all. Female…

The Night Before by Wendy Walker The Night Before by Wendy Walker is an intriguing & captivating suspense novel. While reading it, my mind is trying hard to keep track of all the secrets. I don’t which ones are going to be important down the road, so that keeps my interest. Where I struggled is with keeping timelines & characters straight. I had a hard time connecting & latching on to a character. Whenever that happens, it makes reading more of a job for me. That being…
