Book Reviews

For starters, a tremendous thank you to Sam Stea, Books Forward, and Sophie’s Sun Publishing for my copy of The Edge of Elsewhere! I really enjoyed this book! It was definitely outside of my normal reading genre and not a book I normally would have picked out for myself. In the end, it was good! […]

For starters, a tremendous thanks to Margaret David Ghielmetti, She Writes Press, and Books Forward PR for my copy of Brave(ish). You guys. I loved Brave(ish) so much.

Thank you to Goodreads, Custom House, and Elisabeth Thomas for my copy of Catherine House! Recently, I’ve been fairly obsessed with entering Goodreads giveaways. It’s a great way to get to read new books, connect with authors, and talk books in a community full of book lovers. Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas is one of […]
