A Very Lucky Girl

source Hannah Beast is on the prowl to find the man who will choose her everyday and I. Am. Here. For. It. Last week, ABC invited all former Bachelorettes to Los Angeles in exchange for a small check and a guaranteed surge in Instagram followers. From Trista to Becca, the ladies chatted about the men they share (looking at you Emily & Becca #vroomvroom) and the families many of the women are creating. Meanwhile, Chris Harrison flexed his skills as a tour guide and directed a bus filled with fans around iconic LA Bachelor spots before inviting them inside Bachelor Mansion. I had serious FOMO as fans mingled in the infamous sunken living room with the likes of Ali Fedotowsky and Ashley Hebert -- how do I score an invite to the next one!? Hannah Beast was filming her own season during this reunion so she could not take part for obvious reasons, but FINALLY Monday, May 13th was upon us and my Monday nights are void no longer. First, we pick up where we left off in Tuscal...

This November I was extra thankful for my Kindle! Between spatchcocking turkeys and trimming the Christmas tree, I still made time to read 21 books and there are several 5 star contenders among the group. Add some of these to your Christmas list ASAP! this meme was SO TRUE this month too, y'all. All of the feels!!

Bear in mind, this book is long with a capital L! You Knew Me When by Emily Liebert (audio) 3 stars This story passed the time on neighborhood walks and house cleaning rounds, but it certainly wasn’t spell-binding. Frankly, I found the feud that drove the plot fairly silly, but the inviting charac...

Pinterest Winter is a bookworm's dream because there is literally NO GOOD REASON not to be inside by a fire with a book or seven. Therefore, I will be thriving for the next four or five months. Without further ado, check out what stories caught my attention and which ones you should skip! Sweet Little Lies by Caz Frear  4 stars This is Frear’s first novel and I’m certain it won’t be her last. I don’t know what it is about these suspense stories set in England that get my imagination going, but this one did not disappoint. A strong female lead with just enough foibles to make her human, Cat’s search to find the culprit of a murder had me making and rejecting my own hypotheses several times over. Personally, I needed just a little more wrap up at the end, which is why SLL fell just one star short of a perfect rating. A Spark of Light by Jodi Picoult 4 stars This story is especially timely in the wake of the #MeToo movement and mass shootings sweeping th...
