Why Did I Read? Well, I love rom coms – especially those 90s and early 2000 rom coms! They’re my go-to movies when I want to rewatch a comfort movie, if I’m having a bad day or just need a fun movie to relax! This one had all the makings of a cute rom-com! My Thoughts: For fellow rom com fans, you’ll be treated to so many great rom com references and nods to classic romantic comedy films, and yes, […]

My Thoughts: So this was one of my top anticipated books of 2018! I really loved Erin Bowman’s Vengeance Road and Retribution Rails so I was psyched to find out she was coming out with a sci fi!

Like the scary movie when the […]

My Thoughts: The Bedlam Stacks is something I thought I’d really enjoy! I had seen good reviews and it sounded like a really beautiful fantasy story. Unfortunately this one missed the mark for me.

However, I felt zero connection to the main character and as a result, honestly didn’t care about his journey or mission. In fact, I quickly got bored and really […]
