Blog Tour | Kingdom of Ash and Briars

It’s been a great while since I’ve posted, but I’m coming back with a great new book that you need to put on the top of your TBR stack . . . like right now!

5 Reasons Why Audible® is Freaking Awesome

5 Reasons Why Audible® is Freaking Awesome

Friends, ever since I moved to NYC I have had the hardest time keeping up with reading. Carrying a book around is great, but when one lives in a big city you tend to have to carry EVERYTHING with you. Sometimes a book is last on the list of things to add to my bag and reluctantly, I end up leaving it at home.

So for those of you readers who are consistently on the go & have no room to fit that…

Whew. When We Collided by Emery Lord is an eye-opener to the world of mental health on so many different levels. I literally just set the book down and wanted to write before I forgot anything, but I’m still processing my thoughts. Needless to say, bear with me.

Review | Flawed (Flawed #1)

Katniss Everdeen meets The Scarlet Letter in this series opener by P.S. I Love You author, Cecelia Ahern. Quite the statement, right? But trust me it’s 100% accurate. The Synopsis. Celestine North lives a perfect life. She’s a model daughter and sister, she’s well-liked by her classmates and teachers, and she’s dating the impossibly charming Art Crevan. But then Celestine encounters a situation…

Review | Thanks for the Trouble

Review | Thanks for the Trouble

Friends, I received this ARC from a fellow publishing colleague on Tuesday. I started reading it on the train Thursday morning and finished it last night (which would be Friday for those trying to figure that out). This is the first book that I have fully read in a while and I gulped it down like a refreshing glass of water. So yes, thanks for the trouble, Tommy Wallach, for quenching my thirst…

“I’m sorry you have to go through all this.” “Me too.” “It won’t be forever. You’ll be in the dark for as long as it takes and then you’ll come out.” I stare at what he’s written, a bit taken aback. He sounds so confident. “You think?” “My aunt grows special rhubarb in dark sheds. They keep it dark and warm all winter and harvest it by candlelight and it’s the best stuff. She sells if for a fortune, btw.” “So what, I’m rhubarb?” “Why not? If rhubarb needs time in the dark maybe you do too.”

‘Did you do that?’ she asks me. 'That would be Bex.’ Bex smiles. 'You can’t come to Brookyn and act like a fool.’ Best quote in this entire book. 😂
