Roomies: A Spoiler Free Review
Christina Lauren is a writing duo I want to read so much more of, especially after reading Roomies. If you recall, I read this in September after a book I didn’t love and it was the perfect palate cleanser because it was a joy to read. Does it sound like I’m extolling its virtues a

So Over You: A Spoiler Free Review
I had an extremely mixed reaction to this book, but enjoyed it enough to want to pick up the next book in the series so… Well, I gave it a three star rating. So Over You by Kate Meader is out today according to Goodreads so if you’re not turned off by my negatives and

The Lady in Red: A Spoiler Free Review
Kelly Bowen is a masterful writer and I’m so exasperated with myself for not being completely caught up on her backlist. So needless to say, I was delighted to get the opportunity to read The Lady in Red in advance of its release on December 5, 2017. (Thanks NetGalley!) Of course, my opinions are my

Defenseless: A Spoiler Free Review
Defenseless by Elizabeth Dyer surprised me by how much I enjoyed it. I was fortunate enough to get this ARC from Netgalley and I procrastinated reading it because… Well, I don’t know, actually, because I loved it. I don’t understand why I can read romantic suspense, but thrillers keep throwing me off. Anyway, I’m getting

A Hope Divided: A Spoiler Free Review
Y’all, I still can’t get over being lucky enough to get an ARC of this book from NetGalley, so super thanks to them for the opportunity to have read one of my most anticipated books of Fall in advance of it’s release date. This was especially valuable considering there are only two days left in

Spy Games: A Spoiler Free Review
This was my first ever read from Sidney Bristol, but it definitely won’t be my last. I was not expecting to love this book as much as I did because lately I’ve been a scaredy cat, completely incapable of making it past the first episode of The Punisher or the first chapter of a thriller.

Someone to Wed: A Spoiler Free Review
Mary Balogh is an amazing romance author whose books tend to have a different tone to them than most other popular authors, in that her books are a little more serious and a little less built on witty banter. (I find nothing wrong with either style and enjoy both depending on my mood, so this

The Austen Escape: A Spoiler Free Review
The Austen Escape by Katherine Reay comes out tomorrow, November 7th, and is a fun escapist read along the lines of Austenland, though slightly less full of secondhand embarrassment. Actually, there’s dramatically less secondhand embarrassment. However, there’s still the cringe-worthy obliviousness to the love interest’s… well, interest. There’s also a weird friendship dynamic that I

Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race Book Review
Reni Eddo-Lodge, author of Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race, originally wrote a blog post titled the same thing, which stirred up a lot of controversy. Paradoxically, writing the blog post ending her discussions with white people about race, led to her having many more discussions about race with all kinds

Stay With Me Review & Discussion
Stay With Me by Ayobami Adebayo was the Storytime with Squibbles Book Club pick for October and it was long-listed for the Bailey’s Prize. It was also a fascinating story that made me think, which means you get a book review that is spoiler free and then we’ll move into a discussion section because I
