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…
Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner
Special thanks to Atria Books for providing our copy of Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner in exchange for an honest & fair review. Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner Oh my goodness. What a read! It’s no secret that I’m a Jennifer Weiner fangirl. I was and still am obsessed with Cannie from Good In Bed. Weiner is one of the authors who really spurred my continued love of reading as I entered college. I just love her. Big Summer is a huge 5 stars for me. 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…

Feels Like Falling by Kristy Woodson Harvey
Feels Like Falling by Kristy Woodson Harvey Wow! Can all books be like this? Second chance romances, unlikely friendships, realistic & strong female characters make this such an enjoyable read. Kristy is able to write these stories with beautiful settings & some drama & secrets that keep me turning the pages. I loved Slightly South of Simple so much. Actually, I need to finish that trilogy immediately. Both of the heroines are down on their luck. Diana & Gray are so different, yet they connect instantly. I love how refreshing & real Diana is with her real-life issues. She reminded me a bit of Drue in Mary Kay Andrew’s Sunset…
The Unbreakables by Lisa Barr
The Unbreakables by Lisa Barr – READ THIS BOOK! I don’t know if I would call this a review, but rather this is a love letter to Lisa Barr. I’ve read a lot of books & there is just something truly special, remarkable & beautiful about The Unbreakables. First, I woke up at 6 AM to tear through the pages. If there’s ever an endorsement from me, reading at 6 AM is it! I just couldn’t stay away from this novel. Honestly, I love it so much. I turned to my husband after finishing it and told him if I’ve ever read a perfect book, this is it. The Unbreakables…
Resurrecting Rain by Patricia Averbach
We are so pleased to have a Guest Post today from author Patricia Averbach. Resurrecting Rain by Patricia Averbach, which is available now! HOW I’M SURVIVING THE PANDEMIC BY PATRICIA AVERBACH I think we can all agree that social distancing sucks. If you’re lucky you’re conducting meetings from your bedroom while two kids and a dog zoom across the bed. If you’re less fortunate you’re spending endless hours trying to reach the unemployment office or your health insurer. You’re not going out to eat, not shopping for a new swimsuit and not using the tickets you bought to the season opener. Cut off from human contact, the TV and refrigerator…
Sunrise on Half Moon Bay
Special thanks to Harlequin for providing our copy of Sunrise on Half Moon Bay by Robyn Carr in exchange for an honest & fair review. Sunrise on Half Moon Bay In case you don’t know, I’m a newly minted Robyn Carr fangirl. I fell in LOVE with her Virgin River series & I can’t wait to read more of her books! After reading over a half dozen of her books, I feel pretty confident that I know she’s going to take me on a character-driven ride with a HEA. Yet, when I started Sunrise on Half Moon Bay by Robyn Carr I’m like, this sounds too depressing. Parents affected by…

Super Nova Smash
You can support Super Nova Smash via Kickstarter! Several weeks ago, we were introduced to the super cool card game, Super Nova Smash. Basically, it’s a card game paired with your mobile app & it’s a race to the finish line. The cards are beautifully created with really bright colors. The free app is wild too!
