The Bookbinder’s Guide to Love

This was a fun romance! I tend to be drawn to books that involve books. I have read quite a few books set in bookstores but I think this was the first book that featured bookbinding as well, which I found very interesting. This story grabbed me right away, and I wanted to read it […]

I enjoyed this book! I was able to guess quite a few of the twists but that didn’t hinder my enjoyment. I couldn’t wait to see if my predictions were accurate or if the story would take another unexpected twist. Thankfully, I was surprised a few times throughout the story. I found this page-turner to […]

I really enjoyed this book! I went into this book without knowing what to expect but I am so glad that I decided to take a chance on it. I believe this is one of those stories that is best to go into as blindly as possible, so I will avoid anything that could be […]

This was really good! I have heard a lot about this author during the past couple of years and have wanted to give his books a try, so I was excited to pick this one up. I was almost instantly drawn into this story as it was told to us by our narrator, Elliot. I […]

This was a fun read! Some parts of the story were rather funny and the mystery kept me guessing. Pregnancy and childbirth play a prominent role in this story and I thought it was rather entertaining to imagine a group of hugely pregnant women playing detective. I am so glad that I took a chance […]

I enjoyed this one! The book started rather slow for me but after a few chapters things picked up. I liked Harrow and Raith. Their instant connection felt very real and I couldn’t wait to see how things would develop. This book was a bit spicer than I expected, which wasn’t a bad thing, just […]

This was really good! I was almost immediately hooked by the story of the Joseph family and a young girl named Marley who wanted to belong and connect to someone. Marley and her mother move around a lot so she hasn’t had the chance to make close friendships. When she first becomes involved with this […]

I really wanted to love this book, but it was just kind of okay for me. I decided to give it a try after seeing quite a few positive reviews and the fact that it has been named Barnes & Noble’s Book of the Year and Amazon’s Best Book of 2023. I saw the book […]

This was so much fun! I am a reader who is always looking for something a little different that doesn’t fit nicely into a single genre. As soon as I heard that this was a serial killer rom-com, I knew that I needed to read it. It was gory, sexy, laugh-out-loud funny, and rather romantic. […]

This was entertaining! I enjoyed the first book in this series so I was eager to pick up this installment. I love a good mystery and the fact that these mysteries deal with possible cryptid situations only added to the appeal. I was hooked by this mystery early in the story and couldn’t wait to […]
