You Had Me at Hola

Ok but just look at that cover!!!! That alone would have gotten me to glance twice at this book. But I also had this one at the top of my "contemporary romance TBR backburner" list, that I have constantly in mind, since I need to be ready when the mood hits! Which, it seems, is…

Miracle Creek

This is the most recent book to take over the #bookstagram. All the hype. It’s not my typical genre/read…courtroom thrillers. But everyone is hype-ing it up and I’m a sucker for “seeing what everyone is talking about.” And it seemed like a good page turner for the summer, so I added myself to the library…

China Rich Girlfriend

This is, of course, a sequel to the wild ride that was Crazy Rich Asians. I read that last year, as a buddy read with a friend, and then we had a ladies’ night to see the movie. Well, her boyfriend came, but he was super supportive of the romance situation and said he enjoyed…

The Last Black Unicorn

Recently Alexander Chee’s name has been everywhere. And a wonderful book friend of my, Hunter (@shelfbyshelf), started a #bookstagram book club this year and this…

The Queen of Hearts

I really wasn’t planning on reading this one. It sounded cute and fluffy, not bad for the summer honestly, but it just wasn’t something I was overly interested in (despite it’s gorgeous cover). But then I was walking through the library one morning, after a meeting (and I totally was not planning to get any…

Crazy Rich Asians

I found this book as a used book store a few years ago and, having heard of it once or twice, decided to buy it. Since then, I have seen it more and more and, as I’m sure most people know by now, the movie adaptation is coming out late summer. So I’d slowly been…
