Lucky by Marissa Stapley book on top of purple monopoly play money

Book Review: Lucky by Marissa Stapley

This book was sent to me months ago, and I’ll admit I didn’t have immediate plans to read it simply because I had so many other thrillers ready to go on my shelf. But then, Lucky by Marissa Stapley was chosen by Reese Witherspoon’s Book Club, and I usually enjoy her book club picks when…

Book Review: The Holiday Swap by Maggie Knox

Book Review: The Holiday Swap by Maggie Knox

Watching cheesy Hallmark Holiday movies seems to be a regular Christmas tradition these days, but I’ve never seen one of these movies, and I don’t intend to start. I have so many questions about them too, mainly, where does one find them? Do you still have cable to access a Hallmark channel, or do you…

Book Review: A Boring Wife Settles the Score by Marie-Renee Lavoie

Book Review: A Boring Wife Settles the Score by Marie-Renee Lavoie

It was a mistake on my part to not give the first book in this series, Autopsy of a Boring Wife by Marie-Renee Lavoie its very own full review on my blog because it’s a stand-out novel for me. I’m finally righting that wrong and giving the second in the series, A Boring Wife Settles…

Book Review: A Sally Rooney Threesome

Book Review: A Sally Rooney Threesome

Do you see what I did there? For anyone who has read a Sally Rooney novel, you’ll know how sex plays a role in her writing, which is a fact I’ve most recently become aware of since I read all three of her books. Her publisher contacted me and asked if I’d like to see…

Book Review: Her Turn by Katherine Ashenburg

I love reading about a fed-up lady. There is nothing more entertaining than reading the inner (and sometimes outer) thoughts of a middle-aged woman who is just sick of it all. One of my favourite books in past years was this little gem, which is why I was so eager to read Her Turn by…

Book Review: Mrs. Rochester’s Ghost by Lindsay Marcott

Book Review: Mrs. Rochester’s Ghost by Lindsay Marcott

Well this is the perfect book to read on vacation, especially a summertime vacation! It takes place on a remote estate on the wild coast of California, complete with crashing waves, beautiful ocean scenery and a wild landscape easy to get lost in. I flew through this book and brought it everywhere with me while…

The Other Black Girl by Zakiya Dalila Harris book pictured beside some combs

Book Review: The Other Black Girl by Zakiya Dalila Harris

You’ve no doubt seen or heard of this book in the past few weeks, it seems to be on everyone’s summer reading list. I love jumping on a book hype bandwagon as much as the next person, so I was delighted to get my hands on a copy of The Other Black Girl by Zakiya…

Book Review: Confessions of a Curious Bookseller by Elizabeth Green

Book Review: Confessions of a Curious Bookseller by Elizabeth Green

Cats! Books! A woman with glasses on the cover! This book just calls to me, for obvious reasons. Based on the font, colour scheme and title of this book, you would think it’s chick lit. My friends, it is most definitely not. It is quirky, it is funny, but there is no romance in it….

Book Review: Animal by Lisa Taddeo

This book begins with a suicide; an aging man, obsessed with his mistress, tracks her down in a restaurant having dinner with another married man, and shoots himself in the face. We learn this in the first paragraph of the book, told bluntly by the first-person narrator and protagonist, Joan. Animal by Lisa Taddeo is…

The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner cover image

Book Review: The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner

It seems like I’ve been reading a successful streak of female-centric historical fiction lately, so it comes as no surprise that the popular novel The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner was just as pleasing. Is it because I’m a woman that I like to read about other women in the past? I suspect it has…

How the Penguins Saved Veronica by Hazel Prior cover image

Book Review: How the Penguins Saved Veronica by Hazel Prior

Did you enjoy the book Where’d You Go Bernadette by Maria Semple? If the answer is ‘yes’, you will most certainly enjoy How the Penguins Saved Veronica by Hazel Prior. And if you hated Bernadette? You’re going to want to pass on this book, because it’s VERY similar. Prior’s book is an easy, light read…
