It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey

 


We've moved sites! Get over here!

I really liked the plot of this book. It definitely had me "hooked". Had to throw a cheesy fishing joke in there. The writing was very witty and entertaining. The side story lines also held their own.
This is a great read to pull you out of a reading slump! It's fast paced and keeps you engaged. My only complaint was that the main characters were a little annoying to me. A little too, Paris Hilton meets a guy from Deadliest Catch. But by the middle of the book, they grew on me as their characters developed. I understand that there had been talk of turning this book into a movie in 2022 but it hasn't come to fruition at the time of this blog post.

We've moved! Please join us at the new site for updates and giveaways here Ok so, first of all this I got ahead of myselt and started this duet before Payback's A Witch arrived on my doorstep and I felt the need to finish it before I started anything else so let me hit you with a review. I'd like to start out by saying that is not my typical read. I read these on K.U. because I saw them all over BookTok and they were highly recommended. There were parts of the story that I absolutely loved but I will be the first to say that these books may not be for everyone. Here are a few of my thoughts on this duet: Spice level is 6/5. I honestly just got to the point where I was only reading the dialogue and skipping over the physical interactions when I was reading these parts because it's such a huge part of the text that I just felt kind of done with it. I don't know that it felt necessary to me. There are some really intense themes in this book. A lot of sexual abuse, phys

The Paleontologist by Luke Dumas

  We've moved! Please read along here Let me begin by saying that I won this book as an advanced reader copy in a Goodreads giveaway. This book is not something that I would normally gravitate towards but I found the description very intriguing.  Ok, now that we've got that out of the way, this book is the best one I've read in months. Dumas's writing comes off as prose at times. It's poetic and beautiful, which is definitely not lost on me. The book is so intelligently written with such an incredible story. It's got some elements of  Jurassic Park, Night at the Museum, The Black Phone all carefully rolled into a very original, beautiful and surprising story. One of the things that I really enjoyed in this book were drawings of the dinosaurs and the way that they helped bring the museum displays to life. I don't know much about them (dinosaurs) and I found myself googling a lot of prehistoric names in the barely 24 hours (after working 12 hours) this book to

  We've moved! Please read along here I started this book today and I finished this book today. What a page turner! The opening hooks you immediately and I could not wait to find out what happened.What a WILD freaking ride this book is. Countless unexpected twists and turns. I gave my husband a brief recap when I was on page 230 and he told me to hurry up and finish the book because he wanted to know the ending! This story seems to be about a maid with a tyrant Real Housewives sort of boss and it turns into something COMPLETELY different. I highly recommend this book, so good!  🌶: 0/5
