One Day in December by Josie Silver My rating: 5 of 5 pink Gerber Daisies Oh my…..I cried……I laughed….I loved it. I really wish they’d turn it into a movie. I don’t know how any other ROM-COM will make me feel this way. Is it cliche? Yes, absolutely. Do we know they were going to…

In a Holidaze
In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren My rating: 2 of 5 pink Gerber Daisies I feel bad for having to write this review. I enjoyed the Un-Honeymooners it was a cute read, In a Holidaze wasn’t as good. I guess I was looking for something too magical. First off Mae and Mandrew (Andrew) both annoyed…
Read MoreMy Store
This is another wonderful question. If I could open a store, it would be a bookstore. I’d also have a coffee shop attached. I’d want it to be a place where people could hold their book club meetings. I’d make the place feel like home for those who need to escape from life. I read…

The Woman in Me by Britney Spears My rating: 4 of 5 pink Gerber Daisies Ok, let me make this very clear, I’m not rating this for the writing. Let’s face it, the writing is horrible. She writes the way she speaks, which is wrong anyway. The story was so sad. It’s like a little…

The Unmaking of June Farrow by Adrienne Young My rating: 4 of 5 pink Gerber Daises I didn’t love it like so many others. I LOVE Outlander, so books like this will always be held up to that standard. It took me quite a while to get into it. In the end, it didn’t wow…

Arsenic and Adobo by Mia P. Manansala My rating: 3 of 5 pink Gerber Daisies I really wanted to love this book. My husband is Filipino, so I was super excited to read a book by a Filipino author. The story was predictable. I figured out the killer at the dinner party. Lila could be…

The Wishing Game by Meg Shaffer My rating: 4 of 5 pink Gerber Daisies It wasn’t quite what I had expected. I picked this up from BOTM. I thought it was a mystery. It wasn’t. Lucy is a young woman abandoned by her parents and unloved by the men she chooses unwisely. She wants to…
