New Book: Entwined
Entwined is a new novel that was just released a few days ago. It’s another Wattpad publication, which you guys know is always particularly exciting for me as I started writing on Wattpad this past spring. To celebrate this book launch, I’m taking part in a blog book tour with Smith Publicity. So what’s Entwined about? Avery Montgomery doesn’t even know if she wants a soul mate. As a member of the Hellenicus—a race founded in antiquity and descended directly from the Greek gods—Avery’s attending her first Gathering where she’ll gain the ability to entwine her thoughts with her destined soul mate and be tied to them forever. But all is not…

Book Review: All the Right Circles
I’ve been trying to read as much as possible this summer before I go back to work, which is in 2 days (cue the sad music). I say it all the time, but my tbr (to be read) list is so long. There are books that I personally want to read and then as a perk to my online presence I get sent books to read as well. One book that has been on my list, literally for months and months, is All the Right Circles, by John Russell. All the Right Circles follows Jack Callahan, a successful lawyer in Raleigh, North Carolina. When the novel begins, he is separated from his wife,…

Unbound: Author Q & A
Unbound, a new novel by Dina Gu Brumfield was released earlier this month and I am participating in a blog tour to share information about the book with you all! I also have an author q&a. Women go to extraordinary lengths to survive and find love, a life for themselves, and to create opportunities for their own self-expression. Unbound is about survival, and what women sacrifice and endure to pursue love and a future of their own making. When author Dina Gu Brumfield first came to the United States in the late ‘80s from China, she left a restrictive communist culture, in which people—especially children—were fed a communist ideology that…

The Summer of ’98 – Author Q&A
Back in June I received an advanced e-book of The Summer of ’98 by Tay Marley and wrote about it in this blog post. I loved the book, especially since I absolutely loved Tay’s first published book, The QB Bad Boy and Me and The Summer of ’98 is a prequel (I wrote about The QB Bad Boy and Me here, if you’re interested). I won’t get into a whole review since I already wrote one (linked above), but basically the novel follows the love story of Ellie and Leroy, Drayton’s parents in the original novel. The book can be read as a standalone novel, but if you’ve read The QB Bad Boy and Me,…

Book Review: Fly, Butterfly
Summer time and the ongoing pandemic is the perfect time to read Annicken R. Day’s novel, Fly, Butterfly. The novel doesn’t only take place in the summer, in face it takes places over the course of multiple years. It also doesn’t have anything to do with a pandemic, but we’ll get to why it’s a good read during all the craziness. Fly, Butterfly follows Maya, a VP of sales at a tech company in New York City. She is in her early 40s and has spent years building her career and trying to be taken seriously as a woman in the corporate world. But is a successful career enough for a…

Book Review: Trapeze
I’m embarrassingly behind on my tbr list as you all know. I got this book, Trapeze, by Leigh Ansell months and months ago but I just got to read it over the past week. Another Wattpad writer to support and get inspiration from! On a side note – funnily enough I got one of those notifications on Facebook yesterday of what I was doing however many years ago and it was a video of me at a trapeze class in New York City! Trapeze follows a 17-year old girl named Corey who has grown up in the circus. She has lived with her Aunt Shelby, touring the country and training to…

Book Review: The Forgetting Flower
Last week I read the novel, The Forgetting Flower, by Karen Hugg. The premise is really interesting. Renia Baranezka and her twin sister have loved plants and flowers their whole life. Growing up in Krakow, they dream of one day living in Paris. Prior to the beginning of the book Renia’s sister, Estera’s, boss – an old rich guy – crossbred some flowers to create a one of a kind, but dangerous plant called Violet Smoke. The scent of the flower has the ability to put people to sleep and cause temporary amnesia allowing for people in the know to erase memories and plant new ones in people. Estera gets involved…
