March Wrap-Up: Books Read, TBR lists, and What I’m Loving Right Now
Even though we’re now headed into April, most of March felt like the dead of winter here on the Canadian east coast. We had several snow storms, and every time it felt like spring might be peeking around the corner, we were battered with more terrible weather. Each year, I start to get particularly stir-crazy…

Book Review: People We Meet On Vacation by Emily Henry
I’m typically not much of a romance reader, but Emily Henry has my heart. This is my second novel of hers and I loved it even more than the first. People We Meet On Vacation was beautifully executed, balancing romance and comedy perfectly. I laughed, I cried, it hit me right in the feels and…

Book Review: Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo
Hell Bent was one of my most anticipated releases of 2022 and WOW. It was everything I wanted in a sequel. It’s been days since I finished and I’m still thinking about how everything unfolded and how much I enjoyed it. It was one of those books for me where I originally sat down to…

Book Review: Daughter of No Worlds by Carissa Broadbent
One of my favourite aspects of the book corner of social media is that I feel like I’m never short on recommendations for new books. A lot of the bookstagrammers that I follow have been recommending Daughter of No Worlds for months now, so I finally ordered a copy from Amazon to give the series…

I feel like I just wrote my January wrap-up and already, here we are in February. While we’re still in the thick of winter here in Atlantic Canada, the days are at least starting to feel longer and we’ve actually had some sunshine lately! Winter can be absolutely brutal on your brain when it’s nothing…

Book Review: A Light in the Flame by Jennifer Armentrout
A Light in the Flame was the second book in the Flesh and Fire series, which serves as a prequel/companion to the Blood and Ash series. The book came out in 2022 but I only managed to get it off of my TBR this month and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked…

Book Review: Gild by Raven Kennedy
The Plated Prisoner series is one of my most anticipated series of this year. I’ve seen it just about everywhere, with most people telling me that it only gets better as the books go on, so I finally took the first book, Gild, off of my TBR and started it last week. I wasn’t sure…

Book Review: Promise of Darkness by Bec McMaster
Promise of Darkness was gifted to me this holiday season by a wonderful friend who knows I have a love for fantasy romance novels. The premise is a bit of a blend of some major fantasies that are currently popular (think Blood and Ash meets A Court of Thorns and Roses with a mix of…

Book Review: Book Lovers by Emily Henry
Book Lovers had immediate appeal to me based on the synopsis alone: a romantic comedy about a literary agent who keeps bumping into a handsome, brooding editor in small-town North Carolina. A book about books? That also involves the people who love books falling in love with each other? Yes please. This story had all…

January Wrap-Up: Books Read, TBR lists, and What I’m Loving Right Now
It feels like January came and went in the blink of an eye. So much so that somehow, it’s February 7 and I’m only posting this recap now! The new year kicked off in a really fantastic way, full of friends, family, and great books. My husband was off for just over two weeks, which…
