Review: Landline - Rainbow Rowell - July 2014

Georgie McCool and yes , that's her real name knows that her marriage is on the rocks and the only way to save it really is to go with her husband to her Mother-in-law's for Christmas. The thing though is Georgie's dream job has just been granted the green light and in order to be ready for her and Seth's very own TV show she must stay back and write the scripts for the show and she doesn't tell Neal this until two days before they are due to fly out.  the next few days blur past and Neal and her two daughters are off to Omaha for Christmas break while Georgie is stuck at the studio writing. Not wanting to be alone for Christmas, Georgie heads to her Mum's and stepfather Kendrick's house and crashes there for a few days. Needing to ring Neal , Georgie locates her Iphone but it is dead as a doornail so she hunts for the family's old Landline phone. What she will discover though is that this phone is a portal into the past as she rings her husband and discovers it is the past - the months before they actually in fact got married . With this device in her hand , can Georgie fix the problems in her marriage so that all will be well in the future or will having access to the past make Georgie have second thoughts on whether she should have married Neal or not as Georgie has a secret she has been holding on since College when she first met Seth - that he is in fact her soul mate and the person she thought she would end up marrying.
Landline was another amazing book by Rainbow Rowell and it definitely got me thinking about What if's and what would you do if you had a one-way magical landline to the past , would you want to fix something or change a regret  ?

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
