I don’t know about you, but I’m beyond ready for summer! I’m staying hopeful that the weather will be nice and warm and life will be more normal. Summer isn’t just great for tan lines and sun dresses, it’s also prime book release time. I’ve scoured the internet and publication lists to compile books I’m…

2020’s Most Anticipated Reads
A new year means new exhilarating reads that saturate your email, Instagram, and Goodreads feed! I’ve asked some bookish friends, consulted my favorite book blogs, and done a bit of research to build my own comprehensive “2020’s Most Anticipated Reads” list, so you don’t have to! This list is pretty inclusive with books ranging from…
The Bookmarker’s Summer Reading Guide
It’s almost August 1st and I’m so very confused and sad at the same time. Where did summer go? For those of you who get summers off (super jealous) August may mean you are nearing the end. For those of you who work all year round (ugh, me) then you stretch summer out as looooong…

The Great Believers – Rebecca Makkai
I’ve been carefully thinking of how to construct this review so that it reflects and gives justice to how impactful and special The Great Believers is. I finished this book over the weekend and my heart is still heavy and still daydreaming about Yale, Nico, Charlie, and every other man unfortunately affected by the Chicago…
All We Ever Wanted – Emily Giffin
This book was my first ever read of Emily Giffin’s. I have certainly heard of her, especially her book Something Borrowed which turned into a major film starring Kate Hudson. I always thought her books were too lovey dovey for me (I really don’t know why I thought that…); I’m all for a good beach read but…
