characters 🧍- 5

stars ⭐ - 5







This is the PERFECT summer read!! It's an easy read without being boring, and the characters are impossible not to like. The book switches between now and the summer 10 years ago and seamlessly keeps you engaged in two plotlines. The setting is so detailed (both of Toronto and the resort) that I can picture both effortlessly. Is the lake resort real? Because I want to go SO bad. That resort is what summer dreams are made out of. 

Don't even get me started on the romance. *insert heart eyes* Is it basic? Yes. But sometimes your girl needs just a little basic in her life. It's basic because it workssssss. It's believable (the majority) and just gives you the feel goods. This book is a Hallmark movie waiting to happen. 

I will recommend this book to all my fellow book girlies. I'm very excited to read Carley's other book and she better be writing more, cause I'm obsessed with her writing style.

Let's Talk About Les

     Hey, bookworms! My name is Celeste and I am just a 20-something girl trying to figure her life out. I live in Eastern Oregon with my boyfriend, our cattle dog, Remi, and our cat, Hank. I'm a small-town girl but will escape to the city every once in a while. Nothing feels better than returning to the slow pace and fresh air when I get back. In my free time, I like to read (obviously), tend to my plants (way too many), and take photos in nature (not nearly enough).       I was a big reader when I was a kid, but as you all know life gets crazy. Being required to read a lot of books in middle and high school killed the spark I had for books. After high school life got even busier somehow. I'd maybe read a book a year. Last year on a family vacation I actually had this thing called free time. I picked up the book I'd been reading for four months and finished it. Even after that, it was impossible for me to try and make reading a priority. Then my grandma got put in comfort

Choice Awards - Les's Version

Well if there was one thing (almost) all of the Goodreads users agreed on this year it was that the Goodreads Choice Awards this year SUCKED. I had only read one book that was a nominee. I read a lot of new releases this year and was disappointed not more made the nominee list. Many people had a similar feeling and even more were disappointed that several well-loved categories were eliminated from the docket. This was the first year I would be able to participate in the Goodreads Choice Awards and I had been looking forward to it all year and it really fell flat. So instead I am doing my own, I am naming my favorite book from each genre I read this year and telling you why below. They will not be all new releases because I think all books deserve love, not just the new ones!  Best of Thriller  Verity - Colleen Hoover Released - 2018 Pages - ~ 336  stars ⭐ - 5 I know I've talked a lot of shit about Colleen Hoover this year, but Verity really is different than her other books.

  Title  - Sugar & Sliced - Maple Lane Series #.5 Author  - C.A. Phipps __________________________________________________________________________ spice 🌶 - 0 scare 😱 - 1.25 plot 📖 - 4 characters  🧍- 4 stars ⭐ - 4   “It’s no one’s business but yours, sweetheart. The people who care about you know you’ve been unhappy, and they only want what’s best for you in the future, so pay the busybodies and troublemakers no mind.” Cozy mysteries - very interesting concept. On one page you have a girl talking to her cat about a baking competition, the next you are hearing about petechial hemorrhaging. I'm on the fence about whether I jive with this sub-genre. The book was a great change of pace from a lot of gorey and thrilling books nowadays but still has the mystery aspect that keeps you going. My issue is that the plotlines and character traits seemed very juvenile at times. I think this is more of a critique of the genre as a whole and not the author. Because you don't have the
