Yeah, I can get on board with romance novels like this. I absolutely adored this book. Practice Makes Perfect was perfection from beginning to end. Let’s chat!

Is Book of the Month Worth the Money?
If you are a follower of Bookstagram, BookTok, or BookTube…you have likely seen Book of the Month mentioned once or twice.

My Top 5 Thrillers from 2022
2022 was the year I realized that mystery/thrillers are one of my very favorite genres. I love them. Its the constant guessing game that happens in my head throughout the whole book. I suspect everyone. Elderly grandma in a wheelchair? Oh, yeah…she is on the list. No one is safe. I find myself able to get so lost in these books…probably because I am actively trying to figure out “whodunnit” the entire time. I finished so many amazing thrillers in 2022…but I managed to narrow it down to 5 favorites! So, without further ado, my Top 5 Thrillers from 2022! River of Ashes by Alexandrea Weis and Lucas Astor This…
