A Strong 3.5 Star Book

Tis the Season to be Single by Laura Ziepe

by Leave a Comment

This is a very strong 3.5 star book. It could have been higher if one of the story-lines (Grace’s) had been a bit tighter and actually full of tension. Most of her story-line was self-inflicted and I thought her hiding what she was up to was beyond ridiculous. I really loved Amber and Rachel’s storyline. I always get a kick out of romance novels set during holiday events so this one was a nice pick me up due to the winter blues that I have going right now. “Tis the Season to Be Single” is about three women (Rachel, Grace, […]

Love Story Between Two Sisters

How to Walk Away by Katherine Center

by Leave a Comment

I ended up reading another book by Center and wanted to revisit her other books. I honestly liked this one, but didn’t really need the romance for the main character (Margaret). Also I am not a fan of male characters ignoring it when a female character tells you what their name is and they refuse to use it. I swear I have seen this happen in other romance books and I want everyone to just stop putting that in there. The love story to me was really between Margaret and her estranged sister Kit. It was also between these two […]

1907 vs 2007 – when would you rather have lived?

Astor Place Vintage by Stephanie Lehmann

by Leave a Comment

This book is told from the viewpoints of two women, Amanda and Olive, who live 100 years apart.  Olive is in 1907 New York while Amanda is the modern 2007 character.  The premise sounded intriguing – Amanda is a vintage clothing shop owner who discovers a journal in an old muff.  Olive is the author of said journal, who has to struggle to survive on her own after the death of her father leaves her nearly destitute.  I’ve read several books by Lauren Willig that were similar in structure, so I had hopes for a good read.  Unfortunately, this one […]

Was More Interested in Secondary Characters

From Mum With Love by Louise Emma Clark

by Leave a Comment

Please note that this book will be released on February 5, 2019. Also note that I received this ARC for free from NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review.  I ended up giving this three stars because I think the author can definitely write. I just think that I was more interested in Jess’s sister and her best friend more than I was with her and her trying to find fulfillment writing a mommy blog. I think it didn’t help that Jess was shrill and generally unfair to her husband throughout mos of the book and also angry […]

The Book Was Free

Big Sexy Love by Kirsty Greenwood

by 4 Comments

Right now I am on a zero dollar book budget, which isn’t that bad. I am reading things that I may have passed up on. Though now I am like, girl, get better taste in free books. “Big Sexy Love” could have been so much better. I think in the end too many absurd things were happening and Greenwood lost the plot. And I liked the idea behind the plot so much. I also wish we spent more time with Birdie. Birdie was a great character, and we only get glimpses into her. I wish that Greenwood had included more […]

Three Girls and a Wedding

Three Girls and a Wedding by Rachel Schurig

by Leave a Comment

I felt meh towards the first book because I realized that Ginny bugged me. This one centers on Jen who is doing what she can to move up the ranks at her PR firm. Jen cares about Ginny and Annie a lot and honestly I was on her side the whole book. I thought that Ginny and Josh sucked and so did Annie towards the end. I don’t know if I would have been so cool about forgive and forget. I did think it was weird though that Jen said she loved her love interest and all these two did […]

Pretty cover, but that’s all this book has going for it

Killing Monica by Candace Bushnell

by Leave a Comment

Well, this was one of those books that is like junk food – you know it’s bad for you and yet you keep eating, or in this case reading.  It’s the story of Pandy Wallis, an author of a successful series of books about a beautiful woman named Monica.  Pandy is tired of writing about Monica and has written a new book, based on one of her ancestors – however her agent doesn’t think the book will sell. The book starts off with a party to celebrate Pandy’s divorce, but the timeline bounces back and forth a lot between the […]

Another great book by Liane Moriarty

What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty

by Leave a Comment

It’s clear that the target reader for Liane Moriarty’s books is primarily female and, most likely, a parent and married woman. So I’m not sure why I gravitate to her books so much—I am female, but I am neither a parent nor married—but damn if I do love her stuff. When I start one of her books I am pulled in immediately and swept along the entire story. She does a fairly brilliant job of drawing up fun, interesting and complex characters, and keeping the general mystery that drives the plot humming along straight through until the very end (I […]
