Going into this book, I knew it had the potential to be preachy. After all, it’s a book whose main character is struggling with her life and is given the opportunity to change it to almost anything she wants. Immediately, you know that there’s going to be an attempt at being deep, at having sincere lessons or insights thrown in the reader’s direction. But somehow, … Continue reading Reading Material
This was the third book I’ve read this year, starting out strong for my 50 book challenge. And I’m not thrilled with it. To be honest, not a fan of the main character (such a doormat). Not a fan of her love interest (bizarrely perfect). Not a fan of the main character’s sisters (one of them is, quite frankly, a money grubbing thief while the … Continue reading I Doubt It
I considered not writing a review for this book because I don’t want to give anything away, and the only way to truly explain why I love this book is to write about all of it. I’m going to do my best, though. This is one of my go-to holiday books. I’ve been reading this book once a year for at least the last 7 … Continue reading Simple Traditions
I know that I have waxed poetic about how much I love Jennifer Crusie. Seriously, I think I own almost all of her books. Even the early ones. Most of them are physical books, and I’ve backed hose up with electronic version so that I can take them anywhere. Her collaborations are also spot on (one of my favorites is Dogs and Goddesses – writing … Continue reading Cruising with Crusie and Mayer Again!
You are all aware that I found two follow-up books for Agnes and the Hitman written by Bob Mayer that focus on a covert organization, and I used those books as an excuse to read one of my favorite books again on a recent trip. I have since read the first book, Shane and the Hitwoman, which occurs about 6 months after Agnes ended, and … Continue reading Not Jennifer Crusie

Jennifer Crusie can do no wrong in my eyes Her collaborations with Bob Mayer are awesome This is one of the few books that are romance related that MM also enjoys I love the resolution and HEA I can come back to this book over and over, and still enjoy every page Agnes is a … Continue reading Cranky Agnes
“Tick-tock. Welcome to the Clock.” Holy cow, this book. At first, I thought this was just going to be a random fantasy novel, complete with monsters and magic. And I was still willing to read it, because I wanted to know more about Lucy. Okay, I also just wanted to finish a darned book. Ya happy? Anyway, while I don’t sit down and read it … Continue reading Oh Wow!!
I picked up this book after watch the author’s YouTube channel. I think she and her husband are pretty funny, and when I read the book synopsis, I thought it might be a fun read. And it was… Mostly. It’s a light, fluffy book, just the right thing to take along with you on a flight to keep your mind off the fact that your … Continue reading Sadly, Disappointed
I was in between books, and looking for something that would get me back into reading when I saw that my good “friend” Nora had just released one of her non-series books. I hadn’t heard of Identity yet, but given the fact that I’ve almost always enjoyed books by this particular author, I quickly snapped it up and got to reading. As expected, the book … Continue reading Identity
I really enjoyed the first book that I’d read of Abby Jimenez months ago, called Part of Your World. It was a classic romance novel, with all the typical romance tropes that go along with a romance novel. I wrote about it here, and said that I’d absolutely flew through it because I knew what to expect. Abby Jimenez has done it again! Yours Truly is … Continue reading Yours Truly
