Book Review: So Into You

I can’t understand why this book has some low ratings in GR due to “religious themes” because after reading it, I did not feel like I had to go to Church and atone for my sins as soon as possible. If anything at all, So Into You was one of the best contemporary romance books I’ve read this year so far, not that I’d read a lot of romance stories this year.

Book Review: A Girl Like Us

It’s not so often that I read Mystery-Thriller books because it’s not just right up my alley.

Book Review: The Davenports

There was no other reason why I picked up The Davenports from Netgalley other than the fact that it was offered as one of the “Read Now” books and well, I liked that dashing yellow cover.  I have literally zero expectation when I dove into the book. It’s that sort of day when you just tell the Universe that, “Hiyah, let us surprise ourselves by choosing and reading a random book.”  Yes, I went into The Davenports blind and not to offend anyone (I’m not American), I don’t even have the slightest idea who C.M. Patterson was not until I…
