Welcome back! This week has given me the first hint of fall. I love a crispy morning. We’re also in the middle of getting a new porch since the old one had only a couple years left anyway.

Anyone else with me? … Libro.fm is hosting a “read-in” … Continue reading Links: Emily Henry, Banned Books, & More
RECOMMENDED: People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry is $4.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! I feel like Henry’s romances rarely go on sale. Carrie reviewed this one and gave it a B:
Because of the structure of the book, the focus on Poppy’s character growth, and the happy for now ending, I think readers will enjoy this book most if they approach it as romantic comedy. The banter alone makes this book a fun read, not to mention the locations and the supporting characters. Pack a bookmark and have a good time.

Happy Place by Emily Henry is $4.99! Henry’s books don’t go on super sale very often so this may be the best price we’re getting in terms of a discount! Do you have a favorite Henry romance?
I read romance novels for a lot of different reasons. To feel less alone, to feel that surging bubble of joy in my chest, to feel connected to new and exciting lives. This book ticked all those boxes and more for me. I fell asleep reading it. Woke up, and carried on reading. I write reviews for lots of different reasons, too. In this particular case, I’m writing this review because I want to keep … Continue reading Funny Story by Emily Henry
