In July, I won a Kindle copy of Distilling Lies by Carolyn Dennis-Willingham. I finished reading it a few days ago. This book, which I got through a Goodreads Giveaway, came out in May. The story takes place in Texas during the time of Prohibition. The Basic Plot Distilling Lies has kind of a slow…… Continue reading Distilling Lies: Small Town Secrets (4.5 Stars)

Crushing on You: Nerd Vs. Jock Romantic Fiction (4 Stars)
I recently finished reading Crushing on You by Sara Beaker. It is a sometimes cheesy book about Ingrid, a PhD student in sociology.

Her plan might backfire a bit when she decides to involve her high school crush, Connell,…… Continue reading Crushing on You: Nerd Vs. Jock Romantic Fiction (4 Stars)
