Again, In Autumn by Emily Hart My rating: 5 of 5 stars Loved this fall book! Definitely a cozy read! I wanted to drink coffee, snuggle up under a soft fuzzy blanket, and sit by the wood stove. It’s that cozy to me. I recommend this book to all my fellow romance readers, very heart felt throughout the entire book. And overall, I really enjoy reading this book. It’s about a teenage romance that ended at 18; but they meet again 14 years later in their adult lives at the same lake house. Their lives have changed a lot in the past fourteen years, but some things haven’t changed. He’s a famous singer now and she’s a school teacher. She never followed her dreams to be a baker like she wanted, and he pursued his dreams. I do recommend a box of tissues because it is an emotional rollercoaster you’re about to go on. So many cute and laughable moments and some sad tears jerking moments. I cried a lot, but I really loved this book because of how heart felt it is. It does have a little spice in the book. To sum up my review, if you like hallmark movies, you’ll love “Again in Autumn” by Emily Hart. View all my reviews

Loving this fall book! Definitely a cozy read! I recommend all my fellow romance readers, very wholesome. And overall, I really enjoy reading this book.

So far, it’s about a teenage romance that ended at 18; but they met again 14 years later in their adult lives. Their lives have changed a lot, but some things haven’t changed. He’s a famous singer and she’s a school teacher. She never followed her dreams and he did.

Could Adam still love Vienna after all this time?

Could she let him?

Lightlark by Alex Aster My rating: 5 of 5 stars I really enjoyed this fantasy read. I know this book is well written, and very beautifully descriptive. You are reading about Isla, a ruler of the Wildings, and she has a secret; just like all the other rulers have a secret as well. As you follow her through the Centennial you will meet new people along the way; but can she trust those? Lies, cheating, and betrayal. If Isla wants to survive, that is what she must do. “The Centennial was many things. A game. A chance at breaking the many curses that plagued the six realms. An opportunity to win unmatched power. A meeting of the six rulers. A hundred days on an island cursed to only appear once every hundred years. And for Isla— Almost certain death.” ― Alex Aster, Lightlark Be sure to have the second book avaible, because Lightlark does end in a cliffhanger. View all my reviews

My very first blind date with a book! I’m obsessed with my new coffee cup! I can’t wait to read what I got in the mail. The shop did not disappoint.

Paper Towns by John Green My rating: 5 of 5 stars I really enjoyed this young adult novel when I was in school. I definitely will read this book again since I rediscovered it again while I was going through my old books. I love the friendship Quin and Margo has in the book. If I had to pick a favorite quote from the book it would be this one, "The town was paper, but the memories were not." Chapter 19, page 227 I recommend all young adults and adults to read this book View all my reviews

Twenty Years Later by Charlie Donlea My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is definitely a five-star for me. I was on the edge of my seat wondering what's going to happen next. It is a slow start, so give the book about ten chapters before you decide you don't want to continue reading. The book opens up with a scene that will grasp you in, you are at a crime scene in 2001. You find out who is the suspect for the murder of Cameron Young is. Victoria is having a meeting with her defense attorney in the North Tower when a plane crashes into the tower and 9/11 happens and the case gets dismissed because the suspect dies in the accident. However, twenty years later after the plane crash we find out that there is a DNA match and a person from the crash gets identified from some bone fragments. Avery Mason, a journalist and TV Show host, hears about the identification and wants to make an episode about it, but what Avery uncovers is more than just an identification of a 9/11 victim. This book will have you turn every page until you figure out what's going on. Because not only does Victoria have a dark past, so does Avery Mason. If you enjoy murder mystery, true crime fiction, fiction, thriller, suspense then this book is for you. It is a really good book and very much worth a read. View all my reviews

All the Dangerous Things by Stacy Willingham My rating: 5 of 5 stars Where oh where to start with this one. This is a psychological thriller, mystery, suspense. I really enjoyed this book. I listened and read along in the book. It was definitely a page turner for me. I would read the trigger warning list in case you don't feel comfortable reading about postpartum depression. I cried a little reading this book, because I could relate to the main character and how she felt. Isabella is looking for her missing child. When a podcaster wants to interview Isabelle, she starts to doubt her recollection of the night of her son’s disappearance; as well as to second-guess who she can trust in her own town… even including herself. But she is determined to figure out the truth no matter where it leads. If you love a good thriller, murder mystery, psychological thriller, true crime fiction, suspenseful book. Then my friend, this is the book for you. View all my reviews

The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory My rating: 4 of 5 stars I enjoyed this book. It's a contemporary romance novel. There is a few adult scenes in this book. I love how it's a fake dating trope. To me the ending was a little predicable, but there was one part in the book that was very unexpected to me. It is definitely worth a read. View all my reviews

“Home is Where The Bodies Are” by Jeneva Rose. Why did you have to make me cry in the first chapter? I loved, loved this book. I never ever could have guessed the ending.

“Home is Where The Bodies Are” is a suspenseful, thriller, murder mystery. It will have you sitting on the edge of your seat wondering what happens next.

In the first chapter the mom passes away and then that’s when the story starts. There are three siblings that get together and make funeral arrangements. They are going through their parent’s belongings when they stumble across a VHS tape. That tape is the most important part of this book and that’s where I’ll leave you hanging.

My current read at the moment is “Twenty Years Later” by Charlie Donlea. After the first ten chapters the story starts falling into place. In the first two chapters you get to know the main character, Avery Mason. She’s a TV host of her very own show. Avery Mason is a journalist looking into the 9/11 victim that was identified twenty years later; but she uncovers more than what she bargained.

“Twenty Years Later” is a murder mystery, thriller, suspense, and fiction. I really enjoyed this book, though I only have an hour left to read. I read it on kindle and listened to it through audible. This book is definitely my five star. There are so many twist and turns, and I really love that about a thriller book.
