There was a lot of hype on social media surrounding Beth O’Leary’s new book The Road Trip, so I decided to give it a go. I’ve never read anything by her before, but I’ve seen previous titles get decent buzz as well, so I had high hopes going in. Turns out, it isn’t quite yourContinue reading “Beth O’Leary Takes Us On “The Road Trip””

Craig Melvin Processes His Relationship with “Pops”
Craig Melvin is a co-host of The Today Show, so I picked up his book as research for a Father’s Day segment. I’m not sure what I was expecting from Pops: Learning To Be A Son And A Father, but this was a much more intense experience. Craig jumps right into the deep end withContinue reading “Craig Melvin Processes His Relationship with “Pops””
Michael W. Smith Shares “The Way Of The Father”
I grew up listening to Michael W. Smith’s music, so grabbing a copy of his book was a no brainer. The Way Of The Father is a memoir focused on his father Paul and how Paul’s life reflected how the Heavenly Father cares for his children. It’s a sweet collection of stories from Paul andContinue reading “Michael W. Smith Shares “The Way Of The Father””
Nicola Yoon’s “Instructions For Dancing”
I’m a big fan of Nicola Yoon’s first two books Everything, Everything and The Sun Is Also A Star and their subsequent movies (shoutout to my fellow K-State Wildcat, Charles Melton!), so seeing a new title from her was an automatic yes. Instructions For Dancing has a cute cover which just so happens to coordinateContinue reading “Nicola Yoon’s “Instructions For Dancing””
Summer Reading Season Is Here!
There’s just something so magical about summer reading programs at local libraries. Maybe it’s just my fond memories of kicking every other kindergartener’s tail or walking to the bookmobile with my sibling each weekend to pick up the prizes, but it just makes me smile. One time, when I was heading into 7th grade, IContinue reading “Summer Reading Season Is Here!”
“One Last Stop” from Casey McQuiston
For some reason, I thought One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston had been out for a while already. Must be because I read it a while back and wasn’t speed reading to finish before publishing date. My apologies for delaying in telling you about this wild, wacky, and wonderfully fun little romance. August is aContinue reading ““One Last Stop” from Casey McQuiston”
What Is Written In The Stars?
Opinions are everywhere in all shapes, sizes, and shades. You can accept them from other people or you can ignore each word that tumbles out of their mouths (or more likely in this society, tumbles out through their fingertips). This whole Literary Hype thing is a form of me spewing my bookish opinions all overContinue reading “What Is Written In The Stars?”
Kate Bromley Talk(s) Bookish To Me
There are some characters that just hit you differently. Kara Sullivan in Kate Bromley’s Talk Bookish To Me is one of those fictional friends that I think will connect with many readers. While I saw much of myself in her as a writer and bookstagrammer, and I’m sure avid readers will recognize aspects of herContinue reading “Kate Bromley Talk(s) Bookish To Me”

Sally Thorne is back this summer with an enjoyable new rom-com read. Second First Impressions introduces us to an old soul named Ruthie.
