Rating: 3.5 / 5 I read CRIER'S WAR by Nina Varela a few months back and I enjoyed the world that the author created. I was curious to see where the story went following the end of book one so I put the audiobook for IRON HEART on hold with the library when it was… Continue reading IRON HEART by Nina Varela

Monday Morning Reading Check In
Happy Monday, book friends! My plans for the weekend for winetasting and a change of scenery were shut down by travel restrictions and stay at home orders, but I still managed to have a lovely weekend.

My December TBR
We're nearly at the end of 2020... both the longest and somehow shortest year ever! I'm still not sure what the holidays will look like this year, but I do have a wine tasting weekend booked this weekend to kick the month off right! My TBR looks deceptively short this month, but that is largely… Continue reading My December TBR
FORTUNE AND GLORY by Janet Evanovich
Rating: 3.5 / 5 FORTUNE AND GLORY by Janet Evanovich is the 27th installment in the author's Stephanie Plum series and it was a bit of a departure. This is a series that I discovered a lot of years back and have always enjoyed on audio. With the exception of perhaps the first book, there… Continue reading FORTUNE AND GLORY by Janet Evanovich
