Things seem to be turning around for my reading. Either I am in a better mood or books are getting better. I think it is a combo of both though. Regardless, I am excited that I read a better batch of books this past week. Sleepover by Serena Bell- I have enjoyed ever book by Bell that I have read and this was no exception. She typically writes emotional and incredibly sexy romances. As a side note, Bell was part of a group of authors, along with Care McKenna, Charlotte Stein, Amy Jo Continue Reading
Helyce’s Slightly Ranty Thoughts on Thursday
So, a week or so ago, I talked about finding Sarah J. Maas’s series A Court of Thorns and Roses. At that time, I was about 30% into book 3, A Court of Wings and Ruin (ACOWAR). According to Goodreads, this book is 707 pages long. I love, love, love, a good, long epic-like book that can keep me interested, so much so, that I don’t want to put it down. This book is exactly that...and when all is said and done, I very much enjoyed book 3. Though, it is not without some faults, and I Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses
I read some better books in the last week, but my reading is still meh. It is hard to not let the events of the world bleed in to how I feel about reading. Fireworks by Sarina Bowen. (Pubs 11/13) There is a note in the beginning of the books that says “For every survivor everywhere”. Take that as a content warning. There are mentions of verbal and attempted sexual assault in this book. They are strong in this book. It was heavy and at times, it was hard for me to read. But I did mostly Continue Reading
Review: Snowfall on Lighthouse Lane
Snowfall on Lighthouse Lane by JoAnn Ross (Honeymoon Harbor #2)Contemporary RomanceReleased: November 1, 2018HQN When I first got back into reading romance, I read a lot of JoAnn Ross. I love her voice, and her stories were ones that I could count on. Not to say they were cookie cutter, but I trusted that no matter what, it would be a story full of love and even with whatever conflict that occurred, in the end we’d have that HEA. Snowfall on Lighthouse Lane is a second chance romance. Continue Reading
