Yes, I realize it’s not Christmas anymore. However, I was in Cancun over Christmas (sunny, mid-80s, beaches) so of course, it didn’t feel too Christmas-y. I read these novellas around new year and they are just so fun to read and gave me the kind of Christmas atmosphere I missed! So if you love Christmas like I do and want to be sucked into fun festive stories — check these out right away! Cross Country Christmas by Tiffany King Publisher: […]

Okay, I had a LOT of feelings about this book. I think I changed my rating 3 times! I will attempt to coherently pen my thoughts… In the Opportunist, we meet Olivia as she runs into her ex-boyfriend for the first time in years. It turns out that he has amnesia from a car accident and doesn’t remember her, or anyone or anything that’s happened in his life prior to the accident. Olivia realizes this means he doesn’t remember what […]

So many awesome contemporary boys to talk about this month! Check out my vlog featuring my top 5 list!

I have to admit, I was a little apprehensive when I started Dare You To. Beth was definitely a prickly character in Pushing the Limits and I wasn’t sure how I’d take to her in this one. I was wrong! In classic Katie McGarry fashion, she writes fantastic characters and stories and relationships that pull you in and doesn’t let you go! In Dare You To, Beth Risk is forced to go live with her uncle after an unfortunate incident […]

I adored Lost and Found, fell in love with both Jesse and Rowen, so I was so excited to read more about them! Rowen is in school in Seattle while Jesse is working back at Willow Springs. They hate the distance but are making it work. Let me just say, I loved how realistic Nicole wrote everything. Distance is just one of the struggles though. In Near and Far, we see Jesse’s past come out and we learn that despite […]
