Blog Tour: I’ll Be Your Blue Sky by Marisa de los Santos

December 18, 2018 by Ann Marie 1 Comment

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for I'll Be Your Blue Sky by Marisa de los Santos. For whatever reason, I didn't read this book when it was first released but, after reading the reviews, I had a ton of FOMO. I was very excited to be asked to join the blog tour and finally read the book I'd been reading so much about. I was definitely not disappointed! I'll Be Your Blue Sky is one of those ...

Review: The Widow of Wall Street by Randy Susan Meyers

July 1, 2018 by Ann Marie 7 Comments

widow of wall street

I'm going rogue here. I'm going to do something I've never done. I'm going to talk about a book without giving it a rating. I'll try to explain. I knew when I began reading The Widow of Wall Street that there would be parallels to the life of Ruth and Bernie Madoff. I didn't realize just how closely related the stories would be. This book is basically a fictionalized retelling of the rise and fall ...

Review and Giveaway: The Summer I Met Jack by Michelle Gable

June 9, 2018 by Ann Marie 6 Comments

Summer I Met Jack

When I first heard about this book, I was very excited because I had read Michelle Gable's I'll See you in Paris and already knew I liked her writing. Like many Americans, I've always been drawn to glamour and glitz as well as the drama and tragedy of the Kennedy family. I somehow had it in my head that this was going to be a very Kennedy-centric book detailing one of his many affairs. I was ...

Blog Tour and Giveaway: The House on Harbor Hill

April 4, 2018 by Ann Marie 4 Comments

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for The House on Harbor Hill! I was immediately drawn to both the cover and the blurb for this book. It's my pleasure to share my thoughts with you today. The Good: Setting - What's not to love about a sprawling, old home overlooking the ocean? Characters - All of the characters in this book are very complex. They all have bear the weight of a past they are ...

Throwback Thursday: It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover

January 11, 2018 by Ann Marie 9 Comments

It Ends with Us Colleen Hoover

Throwback Thursday is a weekly meme hosted by Renee at It’s Book Talk. Throwback Thursday is an awesome opportunity to share old favorites as well as older books in our TBR. I love this idea as I’m often distracted by all of the shiny, new books I see every day and don’t make it back to the ones that have been sitting on my shelves. My pick of the the week is: It Ends with Us by Colleen ...

Caroline: Little House Revisited

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour of Caroline: Little House, Revisited! As someone who grew up watching Little House on the Prairie and reading the much-celebrated books series by Laura Ingalls Wilder, I was very excited to hear about this book at Book Expo 2017. When I was offered the opportunity to participate in the blog tour, I jumped on it! Caroline's character, in both the book and ...

Blog Tour and Giveaway: The Way to London: A Novel of World War II

September 25, 2017 by Ann Marie 10 Comments

Way to London Alix Rickloff

I'm very pleased to welcome you to my stop on the blog tour of The Way to London. As many of you know, I'm always up for what's new in WWII fiction and books set in England so I was very pleased to have the opportunity to participate in the tour. The Way to London is very much a character driven novel that provided a fresh and somewhat lighter read than many WWII novels already on my shelf. The ...

Blog Tour and Giveaway: The Other Alcott by Elise Hooper

September 18, 2017 by Ann Marie 4 Comments

Other Alcott

Little Women was one of my favorite childhood reads. I don't recall how old I was when I read it but I do remember that I longed to be one of the March girls. And I was so proud to have finished such an unimaginably long book! I found 449 pages very daunting back then. Of course, once I began reading it was over all too soon. Now that I think about it, Little Women may have been my first book ...

Blog Tour: The Sworn Virgin by Kristopher Dukes

September 1, 2017 by Ann Marie 5 Comments

Sworn Virgin

As a avid reader of historical fiction, I was first attracted to The Sworn Virgin because it introduced me to a subject I knew nothing about - the sworn virgins of Albania. While I've read many novels with strong female characters that dared to reject their traditional societal roles, I had never read one set in Albania so that was also a big draw. When I began the book and learned that ...

Review of To Capture What We Cannot Keep by Beatrice Colin

January 4, 2017 by Ann Marie 11 Comments

Capture What We Cannot Keep

MY REVIEW I was immediately drawn to the cover of To Capture What We Cannot Keep. Paris is one of my favorite cities. I'm also fascinated by the construction of the Eiffel Tower. In fact, I love reading about all of the World's Fairs . Needless to say, I was really looking forward to this book. Sadly, there was much about it that did not work for me. First, in fairness, I must admit that I'm ...
