I didn’t get to do a great deal of reading in 2017, but here’s a quick run-down of my favorites from the books I did manage to read this year! White Hot and Wildfire by Ilona Andrews If I had to describe the Hidden Legacy series in one go, it would go something like this:…
And it’s that time of the year again, when I have to agonize over which books to remove from a list that started out as long as my arm. It’s a good problem to have, meaning I read wonderful books this year. Other than romance, I read nonfiction, general fiction, literary fiction, and children’s picture…
2017 has brought a lot of wonderful romance and a lot of wonderful literature into my life. Here’s a list of my favorite reads of the year! Falling For Trouble by Sarah Title Have I mentioned that I love Sarah Title and think she writes the best light hearted humorous small town romances I’ve ever…
