What's In My Bag: Reader Edition

 One of my favorite things to do as soon as the weather is nice, is pack up a bag, and head to the park for a few hours of reading time. Something about laying in the grass and reading a book just feels like summer, and is something I look forward to every year. I even have a favorite tree to read under, it's absolutely perfect. With the summer season approaching, these are some of the essentials I plan on having in my bag this summer. 1. First of course, I'll need a good sized bag to bring my book as well as other goodies in. I usually prefer a large canvas tote-bag, but occasionally will use a purse, such as this woven beach style one. Here's one similar to the one I have on Amazon, which can be found  here . I especially love a bag with a small zipper pocket inside to keep my wallet, keys, and phone safe.     2. A book!

Book Review: First-Time Caller by B.K. Borison

Hi readers! Last month while on vacation I brought First-Time Caller with me, and it became my emotional support book for the duration of my trip. Going to coffee, oh look she has her book. Hot tub? There's her book again. Passenger princess time, more like nose in a book time.

So let's get into it. Get the book here   Synopsis Aiden Valentine is the host of Baltimore's romance hotline but there's just one little issue...he doesn't believe in love. One night Lucie, a single mom, finds her daughter calling into the hotline on her behalf, and her love life is quickly thrown into the spotlight. ...

Book Review: Deep End by Ali Hazelwood

 In February of this year, Deep End was released, and was added to the monthly Tbr of book girlies everywhere. I was a little late to the party, and decided to read it in March with my Fable bookclub. Up until that point I had only heard good things about this book, and rave reviews about how the love interest Lukas was the blueprint for being the perfect book boyfriend. So of course I was more than intrigued to begin Scarlett and Lukas' story, especially being a fan of Ali Hazelwood's books in the past. Here are my thoughts on Deep End . Get the Book Here Synopsis Scarlett Vandermeer is a Stanford diver recovering from the aftermath of of traumatic diving injury. While trying to overcome her own battles she finds herself entangled in a no-strings-attached relationship with her best friend's ex, Lukas Blomqvist, who also just happens to be a Olympic champion swimmer. As Scarlett tries to navigate her academic goals, athletic dreams, and her newfound feelings for Lukas, she...
