Flipcup by Kim Hartfield

October 19, 2021 Leave a Comment

I binged the first few books in Sarina Bowen’s True North series and wasn’t planning on reading from the expanded universe but this book intrigued me because Kim Hartfield chose to write for one of Bowen’s characters from Speakeasy (True North #5). In that book, 22-year-old beer distributor and party girl Chelsea has her heartRead the Post

The True North Series by Sarina Bowen

September 7, 2021 Comment : 1

I randomly picked Steadfast off my bookshelf and was instantly pulled into the True North series. This series takes place in Vermont and centers around Shipley Farms–an organic apple orchard. Each book features hardworking characters as they build relationships, make sacrifices, and pursue their dreams. One of the things I love about this series isRead the Post

Counterpoint and Reverb by Anna Zabo

May 1, 2021 Leave a Comment

One of my 2021 bookish goals is to read more series so I decided to finish the Twisted Wishes series. Each book follows a member of a queer rock band and has themes of found family, acceptance, and some light kink elements. I reviewed the first book, Syncopation, in 2019. Counterpoint Twisted Wishes’ 27-year-old  guitaristRead the Post

Written in The Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur

March 1, 2021 Leave a Comment

Written In the Stars is a thoroughly modern romance for the millennial generation that hits all of the rom-com beats! Our heroines are Darcy, an uptight actuary scorned by love and Elle, a quirky, starry-eyed astrologist looking for true love. Get it? Elle. Darcy. I’ll admit, I was kind of stand-offish about this book becauseRead the Post

Out On The Ice by Kelly Farmer

Look, when it comes to me and Hockey I’m like Chance The Rapper in this SNL skit. I’m actually like this with most sports but when I saw this Rapinoe-esque model on the cover I had to read more.  Hyperactive, rainbow-haired, pro-hockey player Amy Schwarzbach is spending the summer coaching with her idol and secretRead the Post

Like Lovers Do by Tracey Livesay

I actually…don’t read a ton of fake relationship books and I had to ask Kat what constitutes a fake relationship. As Glenn Wheldon from the Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast would say, I feel like there is a taxonomy of fake relationship romance: a fake relationship between two strangers fake relationship between people who alreadyRead the Post
