Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner While this clearly looks like a light summer read, there was bit more substance here than I expected. The Premise: Daphne is a plus-size Instagram influencer. She got her start when a video of her telling off a guy that had been bribed by well meaning friends to flirt with... Continue Reading →
28 Summers
28 Summers by Elin Hilderbrand Summer is not complete without at least one Elin Hilderbrand novel. In all honesty, I think I’m reading 4 this seasons!

Inheritance

Light Summer Reading

Finish The Gentleman In Moscow and then move on to the 4 other books I mentioned in my last blog post. And then Netgalley sent me a free ebook, Bella... Continue Reading →
