The Romance Bookie

Hey Everyone! So once again, it's been a few months.  I don't even know what is my life anymore, to be honest.  Let's see what has happened since my last post... 1.  I graduated!  I officially have my Bachelors Degree in Early Childhood Studies! 2.  My husband and I had a wedding celebration for all our friends and family.  We had quite a bit of family from Germany come for the occasion, which was amazing <3. 3.  My husband and I got a three day mini-getaway to beautiful Palm Springs.  That was amazing! 4.  I just got a promotion for my job, and a second job!

Hey Everyone!! I am SOOO Close to my yearly goal of reading 50 books, that this is so happening this year!!!! ONE MORE TO GO!!!

A carefully charted map of a long-distance relationship, Jennifer E. Smith's new novel ...

Hi Everyone!! Today I've got a review for you of House of Ivy and Sorrow ! I picked up this book because of it's gorgeous title and cover AND synopsis and looked forward to reading this a ton!! From Goodreads : Josephine Hemlock has spent the last 10 years hiding from the Curse that killed her mother. But when a mysterious man arrives at her ivy-covered, magic-fortified home, it’s clear her mother’s killer has finally come to destroy the rest of the Hemlock bloodline. Before Jo can even think about fighting back, she must figure out who she’s fighting in the first place.
