February was all about four star reads! If you're looking for a good thriller or cute rom-com, may I suggest one of the following... The Wedding Dashers by Heather McBreen Ada and Jack find themselves stranded trying to get to the same wedding. The strangers decide to travel together to Ireland and find their attraction for one another only grows despite flat tires, missed trains and wedding drama.

I took a break from blogging about books in 2024; but I'm back. I love sharing what I read and writing about books is a form of self-care. Something I need to do a better job of as the mama/caregiver of an autistic son. I also love hearing what others are reading and adding new titles to my TBR.

Happy Halloween and Happy Book Review Day! It's currently snowing at my house. We'll be bundling up to do our trick-or-treating this evening. Brrrr.... I wasn't quite ready for winter; I love Fall so, so much! But winter means plenty of time to cuddle up under a cozy blanket and read good books! It's about time for me to start reading all the holiday books stacked up on my shelf. This month I finished seven books - yes, two of them were non-fiction books about animals and snakes that Continue Reading
