Review: "The Master Craftsman" by Kelli Stuart

Man, does Kelli Stuart write a good novel! I loved both Like a River from Its Course and A Silver Willow by the Shore, so when I heard she had a new novel coming out, it made its way to the top of my TBR. What I didn't anticipate, though, was just how much fun I would have reading this book!

Review: "The Mad Girls of New York" by Maya Rodale

Do you remember learning about Nellie Bly in school? I do - very vaguely. (Let's be real ... high school was a long time ago!) While she struck me as incredibly brave, I don't know if I would've picked up a book about her ... except that this cover called out to me! I'm glad it did, because the story inside is great.

Review: "The London House" by Katherine Reay

Katherine Reay + THIS COVER = A Must-Read Novel!

Review: "The Secret Keepers of Old Depot Grocery" by Amanda Cox

Last year, I read Amanda Cox's debut novel, The Edge of Belonging, and was completely enchanted. So when her new novel came up for review, I didn't even have to think about requesting it!

Review: "The Nature of Small Birds" by Susie Finkbeiner

Most of the books I read are romances, and sometimes it's hard for me to break out of my comfort zone. But taking a chance on something different can be rewarding, and that's certainly the case with The Nature of Small Birds.

Review: "John Eyre" by Mimi Matthews

If you've been around here very long, you know my love for all things Mimi Matthews. But a Gothic romance/supernatural thriller? Not exactly my cup of tea, but since it was Mimi Matthews, I still wanted to read it. It was a good choice.

Review: "Is It Any Wonder" by Courtney Walsh

Though she wasn't on my radar for a long time, Courtney Walsh is quickly becoming a must-read author for me! Reading Is It Any Wonder just solidified that fact 😊

Review: "The Girl in the Painting" by Tea Cooper

Last year, I read my first Tea Cooper book. I was completely charmed. So when I had the opportunity to review The Girl in the Painting, I jumped at it.

Review: "Making Faces" by Amy Harmon

The fact that I read this book is another example of how Turkish TV has taken over my life 😂. I listen to a podcast called Dizzy for Dizi, which covers Sen Çal Kapımı, a currently airing dizi that I'm OBSESSED with. One of the hosts recently talked about her love for Amy Harmon novels, specifically Making Faces. And so I had to check it out!

Review: "Still the One" by Rachel D. Russell presented by Susan May Warren

I've loved all of the Susan May Warren books I've read, but my favorites are the ones set in Deep Haven, Minnesota. Now, Deep Haven is back with a series written by different authors who keep the Deep Haven "feel." First up is Rachel D. Russell's Still the One.

Review: "Then Again, Maybe" by Susan L. Tuttle

One of my favorite reads of 2019 was Susan L. Tuttle's At First Glance. When I heard she had written a sequel, I had to get my hands on it! So I'm very happy to welcome you to my stop on the Blog + Review Tour for Then Again, Maybe, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

Review: "While It Was Snowing" by Tari Faris

I absolutely loved Tari Faris's Until I Met You earlier this fall, so when I heard she was releasing a Christmas novella, I said, "Yes, please!!!"

Review: "The Haunting at Bonaventure Circus" by Jaime Jo Wright

October is the perfect time for some creepy/spooky/scary reads ... unless you're a wimp like me! I used to be all in for scary stories, but now I can't handle them. At all. So something like Jaime Jo Wright's mildly-spooky-but-not-scary The Haunting at Bonaventure Circus is perfect for someone like me!

Review: "Beholden" by Jody Hedlund

Even though I left my teen years behind long ago, I adore YA romance ... but much of what's popular is more adult than what I'd want the teens I know to read. That's why I love Jody Hedlund's medieval YA novels - they feature chaste yet swoony romance, and they always have positive themes. Her latest series, which begins with Beholden, offers more of the same. 

Review: "Pretending to Wed" by Melissa Jagears

I'm such a sucker for marriage of convenience stories! So I didn't have to think very long when the opportunity to review Pretending to Wed came along. I just said, "Yes, please!"

Review: "A Dazzle of Diamonds" by Liz Johnson

The final book in Liz Johnson's Georgia Coast Romance series is a delight!

Review: "Start with Me" by Kara Isaac

I've read two Kara Isaac books in the past, and I loved them—especially All Made Up, which was such fun! So when I learned she had a new book releasing, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it!

Review: "The Last Eligible Bachelor" by Ashtyn Newbold

It's been more than a month since I last read a Regency Romance, so of course it was time to remedy that! I just got a(nother) free trial to Kindle Unlimited, which is full of Regencies ... so when I couldn't sleep the other night, I went searching, and I landed on this one!

Review: "Fragments of Light" by Michèle Phoenix

I've heard great things about Michèle Phoenix's writing, but Fragments of Light is the first of her novels I've read. And I can tell you that it certainly won't be the last!

Review: "The Lost Lieutenant" by Erica Vetsch

You know how sometimes books are so buzzed about that you have to read them? So many of my bookstagram friends have been raving about The Lost Lieutenant ... and I even featured it in what is one of my personal favorite Instagram photos (the "likes" don't agree, but I still love it!). Since I've been on a Regency kick lately, I decided to squeeze it in between review deadlines, and I'm so glad I did!
