The Christmasaurus by Tom Fletcher CHARMED ME, unexpectedly. I was a little bit skeptical about how dinosaurs relate to Christmas. However, I was willing to give it a whirl. After all, this is a season for giving things a chance, right? So with exactly 48 hours until I was on a blog tour for it, […]
A Boy Called Christmas by Matt Haig | Audiobook Review
December 23, 2016
A Boy Called Christmas by Matt Haig was just the PERFECT audiobook to put me in a cheerful, Christmas sort of mood. I am so glad that I downloaded it on a whim from Volumes. It’s the sort of audiobook that is good for the whole family. It’s one that I could really see being […]

So, of course, I absolutely KNEW that I needed to read Spending the Holidays […]
Mistletoe And Mr. Right by Lyla Payne | Novella Review
December 1, 2015
Sometimes what you think would make a great Christmas surprise for someone actually is kind of a not very smart life choice — and that’s essentially the plot in Mistletoe And Mr. Right by Lyla Payne. FYI, it feels weird that when you read this it will be snowing and blustery and cold whereas, I am […]
