Lose Yourself in the World of Books
Well, darn, guess my futile, yet long-cherished, dream of marrying Prince Harry is down the drain. My sincerest congratulations to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on their engagement! Any wedding, and especially a royal one, is always a marvelous affair, and it’s wonderful they have found each other. Even if it means my last shred… Continue reading Waiting for Prince Harry by Aven Ellis
I'm a sucker for a book with a starry night on the cover. And when I read the synopsis of The Girl Who Chased the Moon, I was drawn in. It sounded sweet and enjoyable, the perfect read for a rainy fall day. Synopsis Emily Benedict has come to Mullaby, North Carolina, hoping to solve at… Continue reading The Girl Who Chased the Moon by Sarah Addison Allen
When I was student teaching, my sixth grade students raved about John Green. Around that time, The Fault in Our Stars was blowing up and the movie was expected to do well as well. Given how much they raved about him, I figured I might as well read one of his books, especially given how many… Continue reading Paper Towns by John Green
Wild Seasons #3 I've made it my mission to attempt to cultivate an actual "New Adult" section at the bookstore I work at, and by New Adult, I don't typically follow the industry standard definition - I look for books that are relevant for people who are new to adulting, whether they be 16 or… Continue reading Dark Wild Night by Christina Lauren
Royal We #1 Yesterday a book came into the bookstore that I could not believe my coworkers did not show me immediately - a new biography of Prince Harry! I freaked out so much my boss just gave it to me... I should probably tone down my royalist tendencies. But it reminded me of another… Continue reading The Royal We by Heather Cocks & Jessica Morgan
Thank you Buzzfeed, because an ad for this book was embedded in an article I was reading on the site. I quickly located it on Goodreads, and then asked my sister to track it down and she special ordered it for me. The story of a young woman moving from the USA to London because… Continue reading London Belongs to Me by Jacquelyn Middleton
One random day in January 2016, shortly before I was due to head to Denver for a bookseller's conference, a book arrived at the bookstore for me - a copy of Be Frank with Me. Needless to say I was incredibly intrigued and discovered that I was due to have dinner with the author while in… Continue reading Be Frank with Me by Julia Claiborne Johnson
Royally #2 I'm a hopeless royalist, so when the sequel to Royally Screwed was announced, and that the main female lead would be named Sarah and the prince, Henry (FYI, did you know Prince Harry's real name is Henry?), my seventeen year old self emerged after a decade to jump up and down excitedly. Synopsis Some men… Continue reading Royally Matched by Emma Chase
Princess Diaries #11 As with my review of Royally Screwed, I've admitted that I am an unapologetic royalist. When I was in middle school, the movie of The Princess Diaries came out and I loved it - I was mildly obsessed with the idea of finding out I was a long lost princess. When I discovered there was… Continue reading Royal Wedding by Meg Cabot
Royally #1 I've always been an American Royalist, since I was a young girl and first learned about two real live princes actually existing in England and not just in Disney movies, I've been one of those people who follows there every move. My mother's own love of Princess Diana certainly didn't hurt my love… Continue reading Royally Screwed by Emma Chase
