DNF Audio Review: Dear Henry, Love Edith by Becca Kinzer

January 9, 2025 by Kate

Dear Henry, Love Edith by Becca KinzerContemporary RomancePublished January 31, 2023 by Tyndale Fiction Reviewed by Kate I picked up Dear Henry, Love Edith during a 2 for 1 Audible sale recently, and was looking for a cute book a la The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary. Unfortunately, for a combination of factors, this just wasn’t it, and I decided not to finish it. But I did get 3 hours into the 8 hour audiobook, so I feel like I can make some informed criticisms.  As I said, I was Continue Reading

Angela’s Most Anticipated for 2025

January 8, 2025 by Angela

I usually set goals for myself in the first week of the new year. This year I set my reading goal for 130 books. 140 stressed me out in 2024- and even though I'll probably read more, the less stress about meeting a goal the better. 2025 seems like it will be stressful enough. I usually also pick a couple of author's backlists and already published series that I intend to read in the new year. This year I want to read the Lady Sherlock series by Sherry Thomas, Danielle L Jensen's Bridge Continue Reading
