The Women of Wild Hill
Both Lula Library and The Change made my Top Reads lists for 2023 and 2024, so when I found myself in a bit of a reading rut, I turned to Kirsten Miller again to pull me out and The Women of Wild Hill did not disappoint. I loved about 95% of this book. It takes…
Fun for the Whole Family
I’m calling it. This is going to be one of my favorite books of 2025. Four siblings unite after 3 years, when Jude summons them all to the middle of nowhere North Dakota. Without knowing why, Gemma, Roddy, and Conner all make the trek out to see their sister and to see if they can…
The Honey Witch
One of my September listens was The Honey Witch, which has all the things you’d want in a magical cozy fall read. While the premise was great, the execution left me wanting.

Witchcraft for Wayward Girls
This review pains me so much to write but Grady did not deliver with Witchcraft for Wayward Girls. I adore Grady’s books and his weird ideas but being 4months postpartum- I am not the right audience for a story about Maternity Homes in the 1960s/1970s right now. This book felt so different from Grady’s other…

Playing the Witch Card
I love Tarot and books filled with magic. I also completely enjoyed KJ Dell’Antonia’s previous books In Her Boots and The Chicken Sisters. Add in that Playing the Witch Card is being touted as Practical Magic meets Gilmore Girls, of course I was excited for Dell’Antonia to be putting out a witchy book this month!…
What the Hex
I so enjoyed the first book Go Hex Yourself in the Hex series last year, so I was excited to jump into the sequel What the Hex. But I always find the second book in romance series to be iffy. I think it’s a ‘me’ problem and I get to attached to the first set…
