Why Did I Read? Say the words fairytale retelling and I am there. I don’t know why, but I just love fairytale retellings! I think I love the fairytale stories themselves and also enjoy all the possible alternative twists. It’s a lot of fun. My Thoughts: If you are a fan of retellings, this is not one to miss! The premise is a very unique take on the classic Cinderella story that is inventive and fresh. Sophia and all the […]

Why Did I Read? I really enjoyed Brigid Kemmerer’s Letters to the Lost and was excited to see what her latest contemporary was like! My Thoughts: Well, I know one thing. I can always trust Brigid to really hit me in the feels with her contemporaries. She manages to craft such heartbreaking stories with realistic family relationships. The push and pull of family and societal expectations and what would you do for those that you love? Where is the line […]

My Thoughts: I don’t generally gravitate toward the heavier contemporaries. I don’t really know why, I guess because when I read a contemporary I’m looking for something lighter?

Juliet’s mother died and she is coping by writing her letters at her grave but who knew someone would find […]

Why did I read? I really loved the first in the Lewis Creek series, Play On! I couldn’t wait to read Eric’s story! My thoughts: As a whole, I really enjoyed this sports romance! I am not a huge fan of baseball in real life but really love baseball in books! I think I just like seeing the love that characters, in this instance, Eric, have for the sport. Eric has been struggling a bit, especially with his brother gone […]

Why Did I Read? I’m all for thrillers. I like the suspense and this sounded super intriguing: I mean, missing kids, missing memories… I was excited to read this! My Thoughts: This story is told in different POVs, some in the POV of some of the returned missing kids and one from the sister of the kid that didn’t return. I thought it was a really interesting concept. However… this one didn’t really work for me. What I really need […]
