Mother Knows Best by Serena Valentino {Stephanie’s Review}
[book-info] I’m in a cross stitch Facebook group and Mother Knows Best by Serena Valentino was the group read for August. I’ve also read The Beast Within and thought it was an interesting perspective. I honestly didn’t love the plot of Mother Knows Best. I’ve never seen the movie Tangled so I didn’t really know…

September 2020 Nostalgia Reviews {Stephanie’s Review}
[book-info] Oof. This one hits a lot differently in 2020. I very much doubt it would be published the same way today. Stacey has a big crush on her college aged math teacher. Reading this book was a lot of second hand embarrassment. Eventually Stacey figured it out. This review is purposely short because….YIKES. [book-info…

Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte {Stephanie’s Review}
[book-info] I read Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte because I thought it sounded like a really good read. It was picked for the July 2020 young adult read for COYER book club. I struggled way more with this book than I had anticipated. I think part of the issue was the start and stop…

Seconds to Live by Melinda Leigh {Stephanie’s Review}
[book-info] Anne from Books of My Heart buddy read Seconds to Live by Melinda Leigh with me in July. We wanted to finish out the series. Honestly I’ll continue to read Leigh’s work.

Gone Tomorrow by Lee Child {Stephanie’s Review}
[book-info] I rolled a Mystery/Thriller genre on my TBR Monopoly board. I’ve been itching to read the next book in the Jack Reacher Series. I saw an opportunity and grabbed it.

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan {Stephanie’s Review}
[book-info] I had a middle grade prompt from my TBR Monopoly board roll. I’ve been meaning to get to the Percy Jackson books and this seemed like the perfect time. I haven’t read any of them yet so I started with The Lightning Thief. Overall I really enjoyed The Lightning Thief. As a 35 year…

Aurora Rising by Jay Kristoff & Amie Kaufman {Stephanie’s Review}
[book-info] Aurora Rising by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman was a June COYER book club pick and I’d been meaning to get to it. When it was picked for book club it seemed as good a time as any to read it. Honestly the plot is what dragged this down one star for me. There’s…
