This week I talk about this historical fiction, and I discuss what my honest thoughts were on this book. I don't usually rate books this low!

Want to know what my podcast is all about? Here you are

Spilling the beans on "The Paris Apartment" by Lucy Foley. I heard someone talk about this book and decided to give it a read to see what I thought. This book falls into the genre I really like to read, so I definitely had some thoughts...

I figured I would do a little recap of what I have read so far and what is up next for me throughout the year, including some of the books I am most excited to read. It is always nice to try and plan ahead, even though my TBR usually just sets a good foundation for procrastination...

I finally succumbed to the social pressure and read ACOTAR... while fantasy is not typically the genre I reach for, I decided to jump in and give this series a try.

I thought this book would be right up my alley (and it is an alley), but my feelings changed as I read the other books throughout the series...

After hearing so much about the TV series, and having watched the first season, I decided to go to the source of the story and read the whole trilogy. Listen to hear my thoughts!

Spilling the beans on "Every Summer After" by Carley Fortune. I share my thoughts and give a little review, and then I dive a little deeper into the specifics of the book for any listeners who have read the book!
