Back in December, my boss asked me if I'd be interested in running an event with Deeba. When he first handed me the book, I was a bit skeptical, mostly because I still struggle to read book about grandmothers. But ultimately I said yes, and I'm so glad I did.

And while none has thus far captured the unique magic… Continue reading The Enigma Game by Elizabeth Wein
American Royals #1 Like my wonderful sister I am always going to pick up a book that is related to royalty, whether real or fictional.

Although I firmly believe I could never have enough… Continue reading American Royals by Katharine McGee
Kingdom of Cards #1 This is one review I've been meaning to post for a LONG time - I met Janella in January and asked for three advance copies of her book so that I could buddy read it with two colleagues, who both finished it long before I did and absolutely loved it!
