Ali Hazelwood’s Not In Love Takes A Different Approach
Riding off the high of Ali Hazelwood’s books The Love Hypothesis, Love on the Brain, and Love, Theoretically, I picked up Not in Love to see if it was up there with the rest of them. Safe to say it missed the mark for me. With a warning at the beginning to prove it wasn’t…

Ashley Poston Proves Love Isn’t Dead in the Dead Romantics
I’m back on the romance train, this time with Ashley Poston’s The Dead Romantics.

Sometimes the best romances are wrapped…

Happy Place by Emily Henry is A Good Reminder For All
Happy Place by Emily Henry is that book where you know the content is going to be a little tear-jerking and bittersweet, and you are hoping it will also be funny. With the themes and setting of the book, I knew it would lean in this direction the moment I started reading, and I am…

It takes a slightly different route with industry positions and company rivalry mudding the waters – not to mention past beef between our main characters – but the romance is just as…

Ali Hazelwood’s The Love Hypothesis Has Made Me Like Romance Books
I’ve not been one to add romance books to my tbr list unless there are other elements to the stories that I know I will be interested in, such as a historical fiction setting or fantasy world full of rich detail, characters, and cultures. Reading contemporary romance is a once in a blue moon thing…

My Issues With Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton Novel The Duke and I
I haven’t watched the Netflix adaptations of the Bridgerton novels yet. I want to read the series first (books do tend to be better than their screen adaptations). I gave Julia Quinn’s The Duke and I a quick squizz before adding it to the family library returns pile – in other words, the stack of…
