Top Ten Tuesday – Characters Who Are Great Leaders

Happy Tuesday everyone! This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic from the girls at The Broke and the Bookish is an interesting one: Characters Who Would Make Great Leaders. I don’t know about you, but there are certain types of people or roles that naturally come to mind with the word ‘leader’. I think of presidents and prime ministers, I get a movie reel of Ronie Kendig‘s characters running across my mind’s eye. (I’ll just pause and let you enjoy that for a moment 😉 )

Top Ten Tuesday – My Fall (ahem Spring) TBR

I’m back to Top Ten Tuesday after a two-week hiatus! And this week’s topic from the girls at The Broke and the Bookish is one of those topics that I don’t even pretend to limit myself to a mere ten books! However, I have managed to be somewhat restrained. Limiting this list to books that are actually releasing between September and November went a long way towards that restraint! And obviously, this is actually my Spring TBR, because here in the antipodes, spring is in the air! September Read my reviews for Crown of Souls, A New Shade of Summer,

Romance Tropes – The Love Triangle

Top Ten Tuesday is on a six-week hiatus at the moment, and while I may still come up with some top ten posts for you during that time, I’m taking the opportunity today to do something a little different. If you’ve read some of my recent posts, you’ll know that the final book in the Serena Jones Mystery Series releases today (YAY!), and you’ll also know that it has been much anticipated by me (and countless other readers) because it will give us the answer to the big question: Which man will win Serena’s affection? Nate Butler or Tanner Calhoun?

Top Ten (approximately) Tuesday – Best of 2017 (so far…)

It’s that time of year again! Can you believe we’re already half-way through 2017?! And so, naturally, this week’s topic from the girls at The Broke and the Bookish is Best Books in 2017 so far. I’m limiting myself to new releases for this post, so in order of release, here are my Top Ten Picks for the first half of 2017:

Character Interview: Michael, Jack, Trent, and Adam from All of You (Sarah Monzon)

I am one very excited book blogger today, because I’m sharing an interview I did with the wonderful Carrington brothers from Sarah Monzon’s Carrington Family series, AND Jack (Jacquelyn) Rogers, the woman who now has Michael Carrington’s heart. ❤️ Don’t forget to check out my review of All of You while you’re here. In the meantime, here’s a little bit about the book: ~ About the Book ~ Maryland, Present Day Jacquelyn Rogers can rebuild anything…except the shambles of her past. A restorer of vintage planes, she’s worked hard to earn the reputation of being one of the guys. The last thing she

All of You (Sarah Monzon) – Review

~ About the Book ~ Maryland, Present Day Jacquelyn Rogers can rebuild anything…except the shambles of her past. A restorer of vintage planes, she’s worked hard to earn the reputation of being one of the guys. The last thing she needs is a former Navy pilot fighting his own inner demons stepping in to defend her from dangers she thought she’d outrun long ago. Some battles must be fought alone. After a freak accident severs Lieutenant Michael “Finch” Carrington’s dreams, as well as two limbs, he’s left with nothing but a fragile faith and a duty-bound promise to watch out
