When Berkman sent me a review request for this, I thought the title and blurb had promise. Then I got to the price on Amazon, which I found highly amusing, and I knew I had to read it. The story is told in alternating viewpoints and timelines, so you get a bit of everything with… Continue reading Magic, Television, & Marijuana, Matthew Berkman

This Time Next Year, Sophie Cousens
The beginning of the blurb on Amazon really sums this up perfectly: “After thirty years of missed connections, they’re about to meet again...” I really think it’s a bit romantic, that Minnie and Quinn’s lives have intersected since their births. This one isn’t categorized as romance in Amazon as of today’s date, and I think… Continue reading This Time Next Year, Sophie Cousens
Anxious People, Fredrik Backman
Anxious People is a bank robbery, of sorts, gone awry. But it’s really about the people involved in the hostage situation, of sorts. Neither the robbery nor the hostage situation is what one might think before they’ve started this amazing read. And you’re going to stumble across, as Backman puts it, a bunch of idiots.… Continue reading Anxious People, Fredrik Backman

Maya meets Kevin at one of his shows, and there's an instant attraction. But Kevin is a rockstar and Maya, well, she's not into dating rock stars, or doing long distance.

Love and Other Words, Christina Lauren
I have trouble reviewing books that are so well-reviewed. I can’t bring anything new to the table, so I tend to make the reviews short and sweet. This was a slow burn for sure, because you know there’s a past, you hope there’s a future, but you also want to follow the story to find… Continue reading Love and Other Words, Christina Lauren
The Happy Ever After Playlist, Abby Jimenez
I don't normally post two reviews in a row, but I'm a bit behind in my reviews, and I wanted to share a review of a book I loved after sharing one that I was lukewarm for. This one is already so incredibly well-reviewed that I will skip the summary. I already knew I would… Continue reading The Happy Ever After Playlist, Abby Jimenez

Of War and Taters, Ashley Chappell
When an ambitious 4th grader's news story makes national headlines, news reporters swarm in from all over the country to uncover the rampant racism in town amongst the gangs. The only problem? The gang is a bunch of 4th graders, best friends in fact, in typical summertime play. Now the circus is in town, as… Continue reading Of War and Taters, Ashley Chappell
The Bookish Life of Nina Hill, Abbi Waxman
"Trust people with your truth, and bravely tell them you're not brave at all." Nina is smart, and funny, with a touch of OCD, especially when it comes to planning. Her days and appointments are planned down to the minute, and she loves working in the bookstore with the women she's come to think of… Continue reading The Bookish Life of Nina Hill, Abbi Waxman
Ayesha at Last, Uzma Jalaluddin
I took this picture last week when I first received Ayesha at Last. Next to the book is my Rocketbook in which I scribble all my endless reading notes. I have arthritis, and the paper in this book is so smooth it makes writing super easy. (no, that isn't a paid endorsement, I just really… Continue reading Ayesha at Last, Uzma Jalaluddin
