Review: The True Love Bookshop by Annie Rains

A Golden Doodle is lying on a bed with a softcover book against her chest. The book is The true Love Bookshop by Annie Rain.


The True Love BookshopAnnie Rains' THE TRUE LOVE BOOKSHOP is a read that explores the complexities of grief, love, and forgiveness. This is the third book in the Somerset Lake series. The book follows Tess Lane, the owner of Lakeside Books, who is still reeling from her husband's mysterious death. When River Harrison, her husband's best friend and whom she despises, appears on her doorstep, Tess is forced to confront the unanswered questions that have been haunting her for years and find forgiveness.

The author skillfully weaves together a tale of self-discovery and healing as Tess embarks on a journey with River to uncover the truth behind her husband's death. The novel is beautifully written, with well-drawn characters and a vivid sense of place. Along the way, she is supported by her close-knit group of friends who form the backbone of the weekly book club that she hosts. It is a good and clean romance novel.

Review: Fight For Her by Liz Plum

Fight For Her  by  Liz Plum My rating:  3 of 5 stars 📚 Hello Book Friends! FIGHT FOR HER by Liz Plum is a coming-of-age YA Romance. It is an easy-going story about a love triangle between a popular girl, a star athlete, and a bad boy. The story was interesting and had some potential. It was just a bit too juvenile for my taste and sometimes too dramatic. It is nonetheless an enjoyable love story if you put your teenager's thinking cap on. The author delivered a good story with a lovely ending. #bookstadog #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #dogsandbooks #bookishlife #bookishlove #bookstagrammer #books #booklover #bookish #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #instaread #ilovebooks #bookishcanadians #canadianbookstagram #bookreviewer #bookcommunity #bibliophile #fightforher #lizplum #bookreview View all my reviews

Review: Waves by Ingrid Chabbert

Waves  by  Ingrid Chabbert My rating:  5 of 5 stars WAVES, written by Ingrid Chabbert and beautifully illustrated by Carole Maurel, is a deeply personal and poetic graphic novel that explores the profound journey of a young couple trying to conceive. Drawing from the author's own experience, the story delves into the emotional depths of heartbreak, resilience, and the power of hope. The use of metaphors in Waves is exceptional, creating a mesmerizing reading experience. Chabbert skillfully weaves together the themes of writing, coping, and healing, forming a profound connection between the protagonist's pain and her quest for renewal. The dreamlike illustrations by Carole Maurel add an ethereal touch to the narrative, particularly in the visual depiction of the boat and waves of paper. While the subject matter is emotionally intense, WAVES is an extraordinary work that invites readers to embrace vulnerability and contemplate the complexities of life. I highly recommend this gra
