Practice Makes Perfect is Perfection
Apparently my whole “I don’t read romance novels” shtick is about to go out the window. Because, as it turns out, I do. I read them…and…I like them. Ok, probably not ALL of them…and if they are super cheesy or eye-rolly with Fabio on the cover I will still take a pass…BUT…books like Practice Makes Perfect? 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!

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!

My Latest 5 Star Read- Anatomy: A Love Story
Does anyone else ever suffer from short term memory loss when it comes to remembering things that happened in a book? If I don’t immediately get my reviews together I have zero hope of remembering a single solitary thing that happened in a book. Names of characters? Gone. Setting? Not a clue. Plot? Yeah…no…dont know. So, I am really trying my best to get things typed up before they escape my brain. Especially when it comes to a book that I absolutely adore. I just finished Anatomy: A Love Story and it was an absolute 5 star read for me. Have you read it? Let’s chat! Anatomy: A Love Story…
