Anyone who knows me well knows that one of my favorite childhood books was Anne of Green Gables. I actually love the entire series. My obsession started when I saw the first two Megan Follows/Jonathan Crombie movies for the first time. I was probably about 6. From then on, Gilbert Blythe became my dream guy.…… Continue reading Childhood Flashback: Revisiting the Anne of Green Gables Series

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. Periodwise, I would consider it a Regency story, but it doesn’t have many of the elements of a traditional…… Continue reading The Valentine Writer: Helping Others Find Love (3.5 Stars)

The Ghost of Loon Lake: Cooperate or Destroy? (4 Stars)
I recently finished reading The Ghost of Loon Lake by Rachelle Paige Campbell. This book comes out on July 16th.

Repairing a Broken Heart: Horses and New Love (4 Stars)
I recently finished reading Repairing a Broken Heart by G. L. Robinson. Don’t write off this book as too cheesy based on the title. It’s not nearly as cheesy as it sounds. Yes, there’s love and a broken heart, but Lyla isn’t your typical Regency Era female lead. Intro to the Book Lyla and Harry…… Continue reading Repairing a Broken Heart: Horses and New Love (4 Stars)

The Diamond Escape: Characters and Details Overload (2 Stars)
Several months ago, I won The Diamond Escape by Sheila Bitts in a Goodreads Giveaway. Earlier this month, I finished reading it. This book has a lot of characters and is confusing in places.
