July & August 2020 BSC Nostalgia Reviews
[book-info number=”1″] This was an interesting read. The BSC is faced with something completely new: a home life that isn’t perfect. Granted Kristy’s home life included an absentee father but Lou was a whole different ball game. Lou was a grieving child who’d been separated from her only family. She was angry and it showed.…

ARC Review: Coming Home for Christmas by RaeAnne Thayne *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I was hesitant about picking up a Christmas book in September. I really like to save my Christmas indulgences until after Thanksgiving……but I’ve really been wondering about this story’s couple for too long to put it off. I picked up Coming Home for Christmas by RaeAnne Thayne greedy for Elizabeth and Luke’s story. I…

ARC Review: The Life She Wants by Robyn Carr *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] Blogging shame is such a real thing. I’ve had The Life She Wants by Robyn Carr for forever. I love Robyn Carr. I have literally no excuse as for why I didn’t read this book. I am SO very grateful that I did. Right off the bat there is Emma Shay who is someone…

The Vanishing Stair by Maureen Johnson *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I loved The Vanishing Staircase by Maureen Johnson so much! It had a typical Maureen Johnson cliffhanger which I don’t love but I’m beginning to question that stance. Not much time has passed between the two books. Stevie ends up back at Ellingham Academy but she made a deal with the devil to get…

ARC Review: Forgotten Bones by Vivian Barz *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] Once I heard the words “cold case” when reading the pitch for Forgotten Bones by Vivian Barz I was in. I can’t tell you how glad I am that I read this book. It took no time at all to fall into this one. The first chapter opens with a sighting of a little…

4/19 Nostalgia Read Wrap Up
[book-info] This is the second Super Special book and one that I’ve never read before. It was filled with typical summer camp experiences. I actually enjoyed some of the non-Stoneybrook campers too! Logan even had a section which was new and exciting! I’m really enjoying reading these books in chronological order and not just by…

The Shadow Cabinet by Maureen Johnson *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I have really mixed feelings on The Shadow Cabinet by Maureen Johnson. I really thought this was a trilogy and I’d be wrapping a series. Not only is this not a trilogy but it has the typical Maureen Johnson cliffhanger ending. In a way this sort of set me up for failure but it…

ARC Review – The View from Alameda Island by Robyn Carr *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] When I was approached about reviewing The View from Alameda Island by Robyn Carr I didn’t hesitate to accept! You see I started for the first time her Virgin River series just the past year and I’ve read a stand alone The Summer That Made Us and really enjoyed them all! Carr doesn’t waste…

ARC Review – The Summer Retreat by Sheila Roberts *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I am a sucker for small town contemporary romances. When I was approached about reviewing The Summer Retreat by Sheila Roberts I took the opportunity. A woman spurned by a lover taking retreat with her sister at the hotel she owns and operates in a small seaside town? Sign me up! Celeste Jones heads…

Whispering Rock by Robyn Carr *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I continued reading the Virgin River series with Whispering Rock by Robyn Carr. I’ve really been enjoying my read through of this series! Small town contemporary romances just do something for me. I’m not going to lie though, Whispering Rock was a hard book to get through. Brie is a rape survivor. Mike is…
