Book review

The Cinnamon Bun Book Store by Laurie Gilmore (Small town Romance)

Another cutesy read, no surprise there. 😊 I enjoyed this book more than the first one, it felt more cohesive. My big complaint with it was it is more of an end of summer book than a fall book since it takes place mostly in August- end of September and is about having a fun last summer in Hazels 20’s. And that is only a complaint since to me the cover gives fall vibes.

3.5/5 stars

📖Book Review: Not in Love by Ali Hazelwood
Ooh yes! Love @alihazelwood as usual! This book features a perceived enemy and is kind of a slow burn, mainly because the protagonist, Rue, lacks emotional awareness. But I love a #greenflag guy! Some reviews say they don’t like this book as much as her others, but I kinda like it more. There

If you are easily triggered, this may not be a book you would want to read. In order to go out into society and experience others without judgement, we have to know where they came from. The author perfectly illustrates the lives of four young, Black men who died very young. Their tragic deaths sho
