5 Contemporary YA Books With Interesting Premises
I love a good premise — like give me that hook and I am there. These five books all caught my attention for a different reason. We have a paranormal contemporary version of Northanger Abbey. There’s a book that asks what happens when a loved one dies by overdose – and you infiltrate her life and private school – what happens next? Then, we have a good girl and a boy whose made some mistakes.…

This story is about a wedding planner who returns to Twilight, Texas where she briefly spent the best parts of her youth with her grandparents. She’s back to plan a wedding for two contest winners —…

So, This Is Christmas by Jenny Holiday | Book Review
So This Is Christmas by Jenny Holiday is the final book in Holiday’s Christmas In Eldovia trilogy. I thought it did a nice job wrapping up the series – even though we don’t really see the previous main characters in this book. So This Is Christmas follows Cara Delaney who is called in to help with luxury watch company Morneau which is Eldovia’s economic driver. Matteo Benz, equerry, is the main…

The Collectors: Stories edited by A.S. King | Book Review
The Collectors: Stories edited by A.S. King features some heavyweights of YA publishing. The list of authors in this anthology is star studded. This anthology is chock full of weird, interesting stories. I found myself not entirely understanding the content or message of each story but appreciating it for what it was. I can see someone reading this book and really having a lot to discuss and…

Season Of Love by Helena Greer | Book Review
I cannot believe I waited a year from release to read Season Of Love by Helena Greer. This holiday themed book was so much deeper than what I was expecting. Season Of Love is a sapphic love story about healing and strength and showing up for those you love. The story follows Miriam who has been away from her family for ten years – living in Charleston with her fiance, Tara. Miriam has shut…

Faking Christmas by Kerry Winfrey | Audiobook Review
Kerry Winfrey’s books usually land for me — Faking Christmas was the book that pretty much kicked off my seasonal reading. I am so glad I listened to this book, because just like the others by Winfrey, it was so good. Faking Christmas is about Laurel who usually flits from job to job, but this time she has a job she loves. Oh, and she flits from man to man and had a breakup with her lawyer…

The Wake-Up Call by Beth O'Leary | Book Review
Beth O’Leary is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. The Wake-Up Call is O’Leary’s latest book — an excellent addition to her list. It is the second I’ve read by O’Leary, however, it felt just as great as The No-Show. Well, in a different way. The Wake-Up Call is about two hotel receptionists – Izzy and Lucas. The two get along as well as oil and water. It wasn’t quite always that way…

Black Sheep by Rachel Harrison | Book Review
I was so scared to read Black Sheep by Rachel Harrison because I am admittedly a chicken. Now that I have kids, I am so out of practice with reading horror stories. I cannot handle anything with kids in danger. However, Cackle was soooo good that I knew I needed to give Black Sheep a shot. Add in that the audiobook is narrated by Jeremy Carlisle Parker, and friends, I am SOLD.
This book is about…

4 Audiobooks To Borrow From Hoopla
I have really been making use of my library card and getting the most out of my Hoopla credits. The following four audiobooks are books that I picked up from Hoopla. I have to say I really recommend borrowing these audiobooks as I found something enjoyable with each listen. Also, side bonus — I am whittling away at my Netgalley queue by listening to these books via Hoopla. Also, my wallet is…

3 Royally Good Books
I love unintentionally reading books around a theme — just naturally gravitating toward different types of books. The following three books are different in genere – but all have themes of royalty. We have the apocalypse in The Prince & The Apocalypse by Kara McDowell. Katharine McGee’s American Royals series wraps up in Reign. And the search for a long lost heir is on in How To Find A Princess…

Two Thrilling Audiobooks For Augtober
I love that the new trend is to think of August as Augtober — to validate how much many of us want it to be fall. I know a lot of you absolutely love summer and being hot. However, I am not one of those people. Give me pumpkins and spooky season asap. If you are looking for a book that is absolutely thrilling, might I offer up the following two audiobooks – A Likeable Woman by May Cobb as well…

3 Romances To Read This Summer
When it comes to summer, I love lounging around with a contemporary romance. Give me a good trope and breezy writing and I am totally there! The following three books are romances that I breezed through this summer — and would recommend with varying caveats.
Summer Reading by Jenn McKinlay is an easy beach read. Although this book clocks in at nearly 500 pages, it does go fast. The story is…

Two Five Star Reads That I Am Obsessed With
We are already almost through summer (I am so ready for the temperature to come down and the bugs to go away). I’ve gotten a little bit obsessive over these two books as they are for me my biggest hits so far this summer. Apparently this is the year that adult contemporary fiction really does it for me. These two books are quite different but both so incredibly engaging and excellent to read.
