Of Butterflies and Books

 Hello, my fellow readers,          I had a very productive day where I read for a full 24 hours and in that time, I finished 2 books that I had been meaning to get to and/or finish reading.   I've been loving Brighton Walsh's Starlight Cove series. This is the third book with all the hallmarks of another favorite: Enemies to Lovers, Marriage of Convenience, and He Falls First. Long-time rivals, Quinn and Ford are brought together through various reasons of their own and find the best way to solve their problems is to get married. Though they both know their time together is on a ticking clock, nothing stands in their way when they consider making the most of their time together, but neither of them truly wants to come to terms with the idea of being apart. I really liked this book and once again thought both of the main characters had great chemistry together. I gave this 4 stars because there was a slight "3rd Act Breakup" situation but I can fo...

            I was so excited to receive a copy of this book in a giveaway. I've really enjoyed this series and it's made me a fan of Ashley Herring Blake. Set against the backdrop of a play of  "Much Ado About Nothing". Iris is distrustful of relationships given what happened to her but the moment she meets Stevie things begin to change. Stevie is not only trying to convince her mutual friends with her ex-girlfriend she's okay, but she also comes up with a plan with Iris; she and Iris will fake so she can get her friends off her back and so Iris can get some inspiration for her latest romance novel. It should be no problem; however, seeing each other and getting to one another every day because of the play makes both of them realize this fake relationship is becoming less and less fake and more real than anything they'd ever felt before.                    I really enjoyed this final book in t...

     Hello, my fellow readers. It's that time again when I'm going to attempt another reading challenge. For this challenge, I've decided to choose a specific trope within the romance genre that is honestly one of my favorites which is contemporary royal romance. If anyone is unsure or unfamiliar with this trope it's pretty much what it says where it is a romance that is centered around some aspect of fictional, modern-day royalty. I can't wait to see what books I end up picking up for this challenge and sharing them with you all.  Are you a fan of the contemporary royal romance trope? What are some of your favorite books featuring this romance trope?

           Hello, my fellow readers. Well, the results are in and unfortunately, I couldn't read the number of pages I wanted for this challenge, but it was a fun challenge and I do hope to do more on this blog in the future, if not very soon. Now, while I wasn't able to read the amount I wanted to I still was able to finish a couple books that have been on my list to read not only this month in particular, but I was able to read books that went towards some other goals I have and hope to complete before the end of this year.               One of the books I read for this challenge was a reread of The Year of the Witching  by Alexis Henderson with 359 pages. I enjoyed this reread I originally gave this book 3 stars. I feel I'm sticking with that rating or updating it to 3.5 stars. I love Alexis Henderson's writing and I think this an excellent. For me, though the second half isn't as strong as the first, ag...

None of This is True Lisa Jewell      Alix Summer is the host of a popular podcast and one night she crosses paths with a woman named, Josie Fair. At first, she is slightly put off when she's approached again by this woman who has an idea for a new podcast series. Alix hesitantly agrees, but she thinks Josie's story could be the making of her career especially when she begins to share the disturbing details of the life she says she's been trying to escape.        I am a fan of Lisa Jewell's writing style. Her plots always have you guessing while everything within the plot is unfolding and as you're trying to figure out not only what Plot A and Plot B are usually going on within the storyline are going to be but how they relate to each other. This story was no different in that department. However, while it quite literally was a classic Lisa Jewell novel, for me, I almost felt like I knew at least something to the degree that happened was going to happe...
