How do you define yourself when others have already decided who you are?

Six years ago, when Camden Daniels came back from war without his younger brother, no one in the small town of Alba, Colorado, would forgive him—especially his father. He left, swearing never to return.

But a desperate message from his father brings it all back. The betrayal. The pain. And the need to go home again.

But home is where the one person he still loves is waiting. Willow. The one woman he can never have. Because there are secrets buried in Alba that are best left in the dark.

If only he could tell his heart to stay locked away when she whispers she’s always loved him, and always will…

Great and Precious Things is a heart-wrenching story about family, betrayal, and ultimately how far we’re willing to go on behalf of those who need us most.

Look how pretty the cover is. I’ve really loved Rebecca’s last two covers the most. The covers for The Last Letter and Great And Precious Things are very simple, but it’s enough. From the getgo you already get the emotion of the book somehow.

And then let’s talk about the synopsis. I have nearly cried in every Rebecca Yarros book I’ve read and this one sounds like it’s going to tear me to small little pieces. I seriously cannot wait to read this one. If you love romances that tear you apart but also make you fall in love with the characters – then Rebecca Yarros books are for you.

Books I Enjoyed That Were Outside of My Comfort Zone

Sep 3, 2019

This week I’m sharing the books that were out of my comfort zone, but I loved reading them. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

It’s rare that I read out of my comfort zone. Most of the time I slowly move into something different. So this weeks theme was a little hard for me. So I thought I would play with it a little. And share the books that helped me move into something different reading-wise. Anyway, here we go.

Secrets of a Summer Night (Wallflowers #1) by Lisa Kleypas: I know I’m talking about Lisa a lot recently. But before picking up Secrets of a Summer Night I had never really read a historical romance before. And now I can’t stop reading them. They are just so much fun to read and most of the time they aren’t tearing my heart to pieces. They are just fun, couple hour reads, that makes me forget everything happening around me.

Appetites & Vices (The Truitts #1) by Felicia Grossman: This is the second historical romance novel that really helped me step out of my comfort zone. Before I was only really reading contemporary romance, but now I like pushing my boundaries and can’t wait to read more historical romance.

Catching Jordan (Hundred Oaks) by Miranda Kenneally: This is one of the first YA contemporaries books and series that I read and let me tell you, it started a chain. Before this, I only really ever read fantasy or urban fantasy. But after reading this not only did I read more contemporaries but sports romances as well.

Taste the Heat (Love and Games #1) by Rachel Harris: I did a strange thing where I started reading adult romances before I started NA and this was where I started. Rachel Harris got me into reading way more romance than I ever thought I would. Seriously it’s one of my favourite genres’s now.

Pushing the Limits (Pushing the Limits #1) by Katie McGarry: This is another one of those books that pushed me out of my comfort zone and got me reading more YA contemporary, as well as getting me into New Adult. Katie McGarry’s series has a great balance of being YA but also pushing the boundaries into NA. And still to this day she is one of my favourite authors.

The Love That I Have by James Moloney: If you didn’t know already, I love historical fiction. But for a long time, I was only ever reading YA historical fiction. And this is the book that pushed me out of my comfort zone and into reading more into the adult realm of it. While this is classified as adult fiction, the main protagonist are on the younger side and it was a great bridge for me into reading adult historical fiction.

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller: Firstly, if you haven’t read this book please do. Mythology has also been my thing, but for the most part, I’ve mainly read either the original or a modern retelling. And this one really pushed me out of my comfort zone and gosh I am so happy it did. I can’t wait to read more retelling or twists to a classic, but also set during the same time.

And that is it for this week! What are some of the books that you loved, but also pushed you out of your comfort zone? Let’s Chat!

Books I’ve Read That I Want To Buy

Aug 27, 2019

This week I’m sharing with you all the books that I’ve read, but I need to buy and own. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

I’ve read a lot of books over the last 9 years of blogging and many of those books I don’t own. Whether I’ve borrowed books from the library, both physically or through ebook services. And borrowing books from friends or co-workers, and then recently reading books that my work receives as reading copies. So today I thought I would share some of the books that I’ve read, but now I need to buy.

Anything by Lisa Kleypas. Over the past couple of months, I have slowly been making my way through all her historical fiction and lovely it – so much. But not I need to buy them all – because they are fantastic and I always need them in my life for re-reads. But this is going to take some time – and money because there are heaps.

Serious Moonlight by Jenn Bennett: I’ve loved every Jenn Bennett book that I’ve read, and it was exactly the same for Serious Moonlight. I was lucky enough to receive an earc of this one, but I need a physical copy for sure.

You’d Be Mine by Erin Hahn: I love this book so much. I read this late last year and I really want to own a physical copy of this one. I wasn’t expecting to love it as much as I did and it blew me away. A re-read is also in the books for this one.

Any of Sarina Bowen’s books: If you have known me for a while, then you would know that I love Sarina Bowen. So I want to eventually buy all her books in physical form. They are seriously some of my favourite romance books ever – it will happen.

All the Rage, Some Girls Are and Cracked Up To Be by Courtney Summers: I love all three of these books. I read them years ago, but I still think about them now. Each one of these novels is impactful and emotional. But I really want to read them again.

Fight and Glory series by Rebecca Yarros: Again another romance series that I have as ebooks, but really want physical copies. This is one of the first romance series that I read and adored. And I really want to own the series in my hands.

And that is it for this week! What are some of the books that you’ve read that you want to buy? Do we have any that’s the same? Let’s Chat!
