I love the warm feeling that the holidays bring. Seeing that this book would revolve around Christmas, I knew it was a must read and I was excited to read about these best friends. Nick and Noel embodied the warm feeling of love and comfort that every Hallmark Christmas movie captures. Their dialogue and complete […]

[Emily’s Review] Under the Whispering Door by T.J. Klune
From TJ Klune, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The House in the Cerulean Sea, comes Under the Whispering Door, a new contemporary fantasy about a ghost who refuses to cross over and the ferryman he falls in love with.
When a reaper comes to collect Wallace Price from his own funeral, Wallace suspects he really might be dead.
Instead of leading him directly to the afterlife, the reaper takes him to a small village. On the outskirts, off the path through the woods, tucked between mountains, is a particular tea shop, run by a man named Hugo. Hugo is the tea shop’s owner to locals and the ferryman to souls who need to cross over.
But Wallace isn’t ready to abandon the life he barely lived. With Hugo’s help he finally starts to learn about all the things he missed in life.
When the Manager, a curious and powerful being, arrives at the tea shop and gives Wallace one week to cross over, Wallace sets about living a lifetime in seven days.
By turns heartwarming and heartbreaking, this absorbing tale of grief and hope is told with TJ Klune’s signature warmth, humor, and extraordinary empathy.
[Shana’s Review]: What If You & Me by Roni Loren
“What If You & Me” is the second book in Roni Loren’s Say Everything series and, I have to say, I liked it even more than the first(“Yes & I Love You”) and I Really loved that one! Though it is a series, they can both absolutely be read as standalones, but, if you can […]
[Lisa’s Review]: Out of Character (True Colors #2) by Annabeth Albert
I read the first book in this series and loved it; naturally, this one automatically made this year’s anticipated-reads-list. And I was not disappointed. It’s a super cute, surprisingly sexy, heartfelt enemies-to-lovers romance that ticked quite a few of my ‘swoon’ boxes. Milo and Jasper actually were best friends when they were younger, so it’s […]
[Emily’s Review]: The Girl in the Headlines by Hannah Jayne
The first page, heck the first chapter of this book was super intense. WHAT A HOOK! I was somewhat let down after that first chapter. The Girl in the Headlines had so so so much potential. The blurb sounds like a true crime lover’s dream. But actually it was a true crime lover’s nightmare. There […]
[Marie’s Review]: Our Woman in Moscow by Beatriz Williams
Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres and Our Woman in Moscow is surprisingly the first book by Beatriz Williams I’ve read. I was especially intrigued by Williams’ usage of actual Cold War espionage characters and events. Though Williams uses some dual timeline structuring that is extremely common in historical fiction, I found it […]
[Jess’s Review]: To Sir, With Love by Lauren Layne
I feel like a word that will always come to mind with this book is enchanting. This book made me swoon, sigh, cry, and laugh. Allllll of the emotions. I felt such a connection to Gracie with her love for fairy tales and daydreaming her dream life and love life. She was such an incredible […]
[Rachel’s Review]: My Contrary Mary by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton & Jodi Meadows
I flippin’ love historical fiction. I especially love 16th and 17th-century historical fiction that focuses on Mary, Queen of Scots, Elizabeth I or any of the six wives of Henry VIII and will devour any of it I can get my hands on. Unfortunately, that means that some of the books often feel repetitive because […]
