Wine and well-kept secrets. Two of my favorite things. In a week, Georgia Ford is marrying the love of her life. At least, that was the plan until she discovered a secret he’s been keeping, and it’s a big one. She runs home to the 40-acre Sonoma vineyard she grew up on for some clarity and… Continue reading Eight Hundred Grapes by Laura Dave
Ever since the dark days when I binged on too many Gossip Girl episodes in too little of a time period I have loved Ed Westwick… Chuck and Blair 5ever. But I mean look at him. He’s just so handsome. And I’ll give out some extra credit swoon factor for carrying books. (insert ten thousand… Continue reading The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux
I knew going into this story that it was going to be a light, cheesy, romantic novel, and that’s just what I got. It was a quick read and mildly predictable, but still sweet and endearing nonetheless. Who would have guessed that four minutes could change everything? That pretty much tells you everything you need… Continue reading The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith
I’ve had this review in my drafts for a while and I just don’t even know where to begin. There’s a little bit of everything in this story. There’s romance, and love triangles, parallel universes, action, adventure, revenge and even a little nonconventional time travel. The story starts out fast pace and we jump right… Continue reading A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray
This is the first book in a long time that I’ve thoroughly, whole heartedly enjoyed. I’ve read some good things lately, but there’s something in the simplicity of this story that just made it stand out. There aren’t any tricks or gimmicks or magic. It’s just the story of a small town bookstore owner. A.J.’s… Continue reading The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin
I haven’t had the best time at getting book recommendations lately, so I was a little hesitant to start reading this after my mom told me to read it. Two more recommenders later and I figured I’d give it a shot. I’m so glad I did. All the women who reside at 500 Fox Way… Continue reading The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
I enjoyed We Were Liars. What I didn’t enjoy were all the reviews I read before I picked up the novel. It boasts in it’s description: “Read it. And if anyone asks you how it ends, just LIE”. I get it, first of that’s a great marketing technique.. half the reason I wanted to read the book… Continue reading We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
This book had the potential to be good. It had the potential to be better than good. For me, it was neither. Attachments is set at the turn of the 20th century when Internet was just getting popular, and Y2K was the original end of the world. Lincoln is your typical shy nerd, and takes… Continue reading Attachments by Rainbow Rowell
I had high hopes for this book and this post. So I decided to approach my review a little differently and write it as I read… Here are my thoughts on this book: Before I started: Okay, let’s do it. I like witches this should be fun. Ummmm wait a second.. “it is as contemporary… Continue reading A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
I waited so long for this novel to come out! It felt like an eternity, but my oh my it was worth the wait! Allegiant by Veronica Roth is the third and final installment in her Divergent series. If you have not read the first two books, this review probably won’t make sense and you… Continue reading Allegiant by Veronica Roth
