The Cliff House by RaeAnne Thayne *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] The Cliff House by RaeAnne Thayne is the first book that I have read by her that wasn’t a part of her Haven Point series. Her Haven Point series is what has made Thayne an auto-read author for me. I love her small town contemporary romances and I wanted to see what she would…

The Madness Underneath by Maureen Johnson *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] If it’s possible I think I liked this The Madness Underneath by Maureen Johnson better than the The Name of the Star! I decided that I wanted to finish this series before moving on with the Truly Devious series and I’m really happy with my decision! Johnson really expands on the possibilities of the…

February 2019 Nostalgia Reads Round Up
[book-info] Mary Anne’s Bad Luck Mystery by Ann M. Martin didn’t do a lot for me and I have to remind myself that I am a 34 year old woman reading books for tweens. The girls acted like such pre-teens and for some reason that got to me this time. I think it’s because it…

Pride by Ibi Zoboi *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I picked up Pride by Ibi Zoboi because Amazon recommended it to me. I had purchased another book, I can’t even remember which now and Pride was in the section of “Others Who Bought X Also Bought…”. The title and cover caught my attention so I clicked on the link. Once I read the…

Lost Books and Old Bones by Paige Shelton *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] It always seems to take me a bit to get into a Scottish Bookshop Mystery. Once I do I really enjoy them. Lost Books and Old Bones by Paige Shelton was no different. I think it may be all of the Scottish accents written into the books. Two of my biggest complaints about the…

January 2019 Nostalgia Reads Round Up
[book-info] Oh my goodness! I loved this book so much!! It was SO innocent and reminiscent of my childhood and you could totally tell it was pre-9/11. Some of the things they talk about on the flight definitely do not happen now. It also REALLY reminded me of all the teenage thoughts and feelings about…

The Fallen by David Baldacci *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I’ve really enjoyed the Amos Decker series and The Fallen by David Baldacci didn’t disappoint. For me one of the measures of a great author and series is that you forget the author’s name and mainly associate with the main character. For example I consistently name Jack Reacher when I am talking about the…

Close to You by Kristen Proby *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I finished Listen to Me but didn’t love it so I put Close to You by Kristen Proby on hold at my library to give the author a second chance. I can’t believe I read the same author! Close to You was everything I was hoping the fist book would be. I really enjoyed…

Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] With October around the corner I wanted to start getting into some of my spooky reads in my TBR. Nothing sounded spookier than Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake. Cas was a great main character. It was nice to see a male protagonist. We don’t get too many of them. I really enjoyed…

The Cottages on Silver Beach by RaeAnne Thayne *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I had pre-ordered The Cottages on Silver Beach by RaeAnne Thayne. It got bumped up the TBR pile because I needed to get it read for an upcoming trade. I love returning to Haven Point so its never a hardship to read one sooner than expected. I really enjoyed The Cottages of Silver Beach!…
