A Very Punchable Face

I have to say, I was in the group that found Colin Jost to be very punchable before picking up this book. I just…. didn’t know much about him? Made a lot of assumptions? Thought he looks like every dopey guy I’ve ever known? Who knows! …

The Seat Filler

I picked up this book looking for a light, sweet, rom-com escape. Upon completion, I felt like this totally fit the bill. A lovely slow burn romance with a swoon worth leading man 🎥…

My Lovely Wife

I had a disturbing amount of fun reading this thriller. The writing was so fast paced and entertaining. The totally disturbing subject matter was still somehow light and funny (maybe I am more disturbed than I know)…

Kiss the Girl

Fake Dating! A trope I hate to love. Somehow, this one missed the mark for me. Maybe I am getting a little burnt out on holiday romances (that feels like a crime to even say!)? I liked the premise of this, it was enjoyable to read, but honestly the story was kind of forgettable…

Duke, Actually

I know it’s terrible but I basically ALWAYS judge a (literal) book by its cover. I have been avoiding this book because:

1. I don’t find Love Actually to be a romantic Christmas movie ! It makes me sad!

I am an avid reader who loves a beach read. Whether it’s a steamy romance, a creepy thriller, or a fascinating auto-biography, I love getting lost in a book. Treat this page as an escape into the wonderful world of books (and beauty & fashion, too!).
