Happily Ever After?!


Beach Reads/Happy Endings/Feel-Good Books



Actually, I really like everything by Sarah Dessen, but this is her newest. Her writing is sweet, and the premise for this one is just lovely. If the library hold list is too long, (like mine...45 holds, ugh!) you could go for That Summer. I would avoid Saint Anything if you're looking for an upbeat novel. That one is a little heavy.




I love the concept of this one as well, but to be honest, I haven't read it yet! Here's the blurb:

Two sisters share the surprising highs and cringe-worthy lows of social media fame, when their most private thoughts become incredibly public in this fresh and funny debut novel.

If you read it, let me know! I think I need one more recommendation to move this to the top of my pile. 




This is one of my favorites! It is just available on Kindle (at least through Amazon) or Audible. I haven't heard the narration, so I can't vouch for that, but I can say the author is delightful. She's also my friend, so I would vouch for her any day of the week. I have read everything she's written. She also writes her romances under the pen name Liz Isaacson. If you want an awesome cowboy series, her Second Chance Ranch series is my favorite, and you can get lots of them for free or cheap on Kindle!

Other recommendations:

~Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson (also Blackmoore, but Edenbrooke was better)~
~Any book written by Rainbow Rowell - I wouldn't put these in the "clean" romances, but she cracks me up. I think my favorite by her is Attachments~
~Likewise, I always read Sarah M. Eden's stuff. She's super clean, heavy on the Regency romances, but she's very talented. She collaborates with other authors on the Timeless Romance Anthologies where you get six novellas, which are not always great, but a fun way to be introduced to new authors. 



Something old to something new

Decided to take a six year break from blogging? 😕 Buuuuut, thanks to Instagram, I'm back to haunt your nightmares with book reviews, and thanks to my minimal knowledge of web design, this is the only format I know how to operate. Please excuse my 2011-esque blog. Someday when I have more time I will...actually, I'll not make any promises. For now, this is what we've got to work with.
