It's officially summer! So bring on the pool parties, road trips, and hammocking in the shade (with a book of course). So, here are my summer recommendations to get you started. It's interesting that when I think of summer, I think contemporary books (or the like). Maybe because during the summer we like to read …
Mid-Year Freak Out TAG!!
So it's about the middle of the year. So that means I'm checking my progress on my Goodreads challenge. And honestly I am very sad. I have only read 11 books so far. This summer turned out to be busier than I had anticipated so I only have time to read on weekends. So without …
Cover Reveal: A Dangerous Engagement
After much waiting, we finally get to see the new cover for Melanie Dickerson's newest book in her Spies of London series. I think that in comparison to the other two covers in this series, this one is my favorite. I adore her blue dress and she looks the most realistic. (In The Viscount's Proposal …
King Edmund The Just: Narnia Rant
I haven't finished reading The Chronicles of Narnia yet. (I just started Prince Caspian) But I would like to take some time to talk about Edmund as a character. I have seen him in the first three books and the Narnia films. I can pretty easily say that Edmund is my favorite character along with Lucy …
Book Review: The Beautiful Pretender
“The Beautiful Pretender” is a medieval fairy-tale retelling of Beauty and the Beast and the Princess and the Pea and is the second book in the Thornbeck series. Rating: 5/5 Melanie Dickerson chooses to narrate the book through both of the main characters, Avelina and Reinhart. Every couple of chapters the perspective switches; and I …

Book Review: The Noble Servant
I'm beginning to think that I like Melanie Dickerson's endings the best. "The Noble Servant" released a few days ago (May 9) and is a retelling of the Goose Girl. This is the third book in her Medieval Fairy tale series. (The other two series are the Spies of London series and the Hagenheim series). …
Book Review: Anne of Green Gables
While I waited for "The Noble Servant" to arrive in my mailbox (It did come today yay!) I decided to re-read a classic. At least, I am pretty sure I've read "Anne of Green Gables" before. If not, then I officially have and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Rating: 5/5 This is a story (based in …
Book Review: Milk and Honey
Ok, Wow that was fast. Within 2 hours of my release of my May TBR, I finish the first book on my list. I literally devoured this book. Rating: 2.5/5 I finished this book in about 2 hours. I left it confused, reassured, breathless. On one hand, I devoured this book; but i'm not sure …
