Hey Friends! Hope you're not sick of my Addictive Spines yet. This book is new love, the fracturing of family, what it means to have a family, and what's most important in life. I must say that this book was an Instagram find. I have a list of over 300 books that I have started for another purpose, which will hopefully come to fruition soon! Am I being cryptic?

Big Brother America

I got to say friends, I didn't know what to expect when I turned on this book a couple weeks ago. I just finished it yesterday and was blown away by Christina Lauren, as usual, these extremely talented women did not disappoint. Julia Waylan the narrator gives voice to the main lead Emery. She gets ready for what she thinks is an ace-in-the-bag day at work that will revolutionize the world. But, someone puts a snag in her day and it snowballs from there. She also misses her t

Dear avid book readers, I decided to do something different with the blog today and give you just a taste of what I hope to be doing in the future. I know the romance genre isn’t for everyone, but I hope you all take a read anyway and of my blog. Anyway, I should get straight to the plot… hahaha.
