Sometimes I have to stop being a critic and simply lean into what I’m reading. Such was the case with This Book Made Me Think of You. A trusted friend recommended it so I decided to give it a try, despite knowing it was a full-on romance. Period. If you don’t know what means: a book classified as true romance must have a happily ever after ending. I often like a bit more ... Read More...
The No-Show by Beth O’Leary
I’m keeping it simple with another rom-com winner for post-holiday enjoyment reading. Valentine’s Day is supposed to be one of the most romantic days of the year, but for Jane, Miranda, and Siobhan it’s been a big disappointment.

More about that later, but today I’ve got two easy reading selections, both revolving around subjects near and dear ... Read More...

Good Rich People is the story of a privileged LA couple, Graham and Lyla, Graham’s even more ... Read More...
May Reading Recap
Wait a minute—is May over? I’m pretty sure I was cheated out of a week. Or maybe it’s just that the bad news is coming at a faster pace, whether it’s the increasing attack on women’s rights or the unrelenting uptick in gun violence. I veer between apathy and a rage that wants to know: why doesn’t the government apply the same attention and rigor to young men buying guns as they ... Read More...
