I will pretty much jump at any chance to read a book written with and for the Vietnamese American experience and A Pho Love Story is no exception. This romantic comedy is a cute twist on the Romeo & Juliet trope – if Romeo and Juliet were Vietnamese American young adults whose parents own rival […]

[Lisa’s Review]: Elixir (Covenant 3.5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Elixir is a Covenant Novella from Aiden’s perspective, bridging the third and fourth books in the series, Deity and Apollyon. If you have not read Deity yet, do not read this review. If you’re like me and have been dying for scenes in Aiden’s point of view since the very beginning, this one is the […]
[Diane’s Review]: Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
Take Me To The Highlands!! Scotland present day – A beautiful place. Scotland in 1743 – Maybe not so much. Content Warning and Possible Triggers: Rape, Abuse, Death. After many years I decided to finally pick up Outlander. I have absolutely no regrets. This book was beautiful, brutal, and eye opening to the times. While […]
[Lisa’s Review]: Enjoy the View (Moose Springs, Alaska #3) by Sarah Morgenthaler
Enjoy the View is the third installment of Sarah Morgenthaler’s Moose Springs series, but it can be read as a standalone. I like to request a mix of all genres when picking my ARC’s, and when I stumbled upon this one, I immediately thought read-in-one-day-sweet-lightweight-romance, and that’s exactly what it was, plus a bit of […]
[Lisa’s Review:] Shipped by Angie Hockman
Do you know what I love? When books turn out even better than I thought they would. Shipped is literally the lovechild of Christina Lauren’s the Unhoneymooners and Sally Thorne’s the Hating Game. You one hundred percent get what’s on the label, with sprinkles on top. Henley has never met Graeme in person, but their […]
[Lisa’s Review:] Happy Singles Day by Ann Marie Walker
Happy Singles Day is an adorable, hallmark-movie-style, second chance rom-com. Paige is three years into her blooming business and has never had a day off. On a whim, she decides to treat herself to a short time out and books herself a room on a charming island off the coast of North Carolina. Little does […]
[Lisa’s Review:] Prey (Blackwater Pack #2) by Hannah McBride
Prey is the second book in Hannah’s Blackwater Pack Series, and once again, she managed to enthrall me completely. I read this book chapter by chapter as Hannah was writing it, and it was the sweetest kind of torture you can imagine. Reading Hannah’s books is like falling down the rabbit hole. And you absolutely […]
[Lisa’s Review:] Deity (Covenant #3) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Wow. I don’t even know where to start with this one. It’s one of my favorite books in this series, and my reread totally reminded me why. Also, this review contains spoilers for the first and second book in the series, Half-Blood, and Pure. Make sure you’re up to date before reading this review. After […]
