Review: "A Captain for Caroline Gray" by Julie Wright


As you may have noticed, I've become a huge fan of Regency romances in the last year, especially ones published through Shadow Mountain Publishing's Proper Romance line. Really falling for Regency romances has been one of the pandemic's highlights for me. (Turkish TV shows are another, but that's a post for another day!) Anyway, when I had the opportunity to read Julie Wright's new Regency, I jumped at it!

Review: "It's Never Too Late" by Kathie Lee Gifford

Kathie Lee Gifford has been part of my world for as long as I can remember: I grew up watching Regis & Kathie Lee during the summers; my 8th grade graduation dress came from her Walmart line; I simply adored the Justin Timberlake - Maggie Lawson "classic" Model Behavior, which co-starred Kathie Lee and her son Cody; and A Godwink Christmas (co-starring, you guessed it, Kathie Lee) was my favorite Hallmark Christmas movie of the 2018 season. So of course I wanted to get my hands on her new memoir! It turned out to be a really fun read.

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: "Pudge & Prejudice" by A.K. Pittman


I first read Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice as a junior in high school. Honestly, I wasn't too impressed 🤣 ... but as a senior in college, I was introduced to the 5-hour 1995 miniseries, and suddenly I was ALL IN on Austen. I've never been a classic literature snob, so I've read and watched all the retellings/adaptations/loosely based on the book stories ... and when I heard about Pudge & Prejudice, well, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it!

Review: "When Twilight Breaks" by Sarah Sundin

I've long said that Sarah Sundin writes some of the best World War II fiction out there. Her latest release, When Twilight Breaks, is a bit different, as it's set in Germany in the years just prior to the War's outbreak, but it's just as excellent as - if not even better than - her previous novels.

Review: "The Dress Shop on King Street" by Ashley Clark


Life intervened with my plans to read The Dress Shop on King Street, but I've finally finished it, and it was worth the wait!
