Why Did I Read? I loved Timekeeper by Tara Sim and The Count of Monte Cristo is a favorite of mine (both movie and book!) so when I heard about this latest book by her, I was sold! My Thoughts: This was a really cool Count of Monte Cristo retelling! It’s a loose retelling: the bones of that story of revenge are there but set in its own unique fantasy world.

I didn’t get nearly enough Christmas reads in this December — actually, I barely read at all the last two months. It’s all very sad. But who says I can’t continue Christmassy books into January, am I right? I very well may be doing that!

My Thoughts: There’s something about historical romance that transports you into a great escape and leaves you so happy! I also love Lisa Kleypas so it’s no surprise that I enjoyed Hello Stranger so much! Garrett is England’s first and only female doctor and given the time period, what she does for a living is often drowned upon by others, looked at with distrust or people want to discredit her. I can’t even imagine being in her shoes doing what […]
