Beholden, Beguiled and Besotted

I started Jody Hedlund’s sweet medieval romance trilogy, The Fairest Maidens, a week ago and finished the last book on Wednesday. Seems I enjoyed this fairy tale inspired series! 😉 If you’ve read my blog, you’d know I read contemporary romance, romcoms and women’s fiction novels. I also enjoy historical fiction, particularly if it’s based […]

When Fiction Hits Home…

I read Eloise and the Grump Next Door over the weekend, an Emma St Clair and Jenny Proctor novel. It’s a fun romcom with a delightful cast of characters I wish were real-life friends of mine, a crazy pelican, and many swoony moments.

On days like these, I pray and seek comfort in fiction. I liberated Rachel Hauck’s The Love Letter from my aforementioned unread paperback stash […]

To Reread or not to Reread…

Once upon a time, I possessed hours and hours of leisure time to expend. Although this season in my life seems like decades ago (oh wait, it is!), and almost mythical, there was a time where I would reread books I enjoyed. Sometimes I would reread a book more than once! (Here’s looking at you […]
