Emma is a ghostwriter, who spends most of the book ghostwriting a book with an eerily familiar story. My Advice to the Reader My biggest advice…… Continue reading The Killer She Knew: A Killer Ghostwriter (3.5 Stars)

The Valentine Writer: Helping Others Find Love (3.5 Stars)
I recently finished reading The Valentine Writer by Iris Lim. It’s a novella about a lady, Mary Danforth, who has helped her siblings write love poems for their future spouses. Yet, she’s never found love herself.

Sisters by the Sea: Liberal Amish Novellas (3.5 Stars)
Recently, I finished reading Sisters by the Sea, a collection of four novellas each by a different author. While there are Amish characters, they seem to come from a less strict Amish upbringing than is generally presented in books or other media. The Seashell Cake (3.5 Stars) This story was cute. I liked our two…… Continue reading Sisters by the Sea: Liberal Amish Novellas (3.5 Stars)
