The Lost Manuscript by Cathy Bonidan

lighthearted medium-paced

3.0

I don't think any reader would be able to deny the impactful power of a book. I enjoyed reading about how a manuscript that was misplaced effected so many people over the course of 20 years. Then for the author to be connected back to his lost pages and discover their impact on so many over its missing years.

The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner

mysterious medium-paced

3.0

I really wanted to give this 4 stars and/or love it but for me the first 2/3 of the story was very slow for me. I wanted more of the last third. I enjoyed the story. It was good but is full is hidden potential that wasn’t tapped in my opinion.

Romancing Mister Bridgerton by Julia Quinn

funny lighthearted relaxing fast-paced

4.0

Aww I so enjoyed Collin and Penelope's story. This journey through the Bridgerton's journey towards love has been a wonderful one so far. I loved how Collin and Penelope had known each other since children so the bond of friendship was strong prior to their love connection. Penelope is so frank and aware of her situation and isn't apologetic about it. She has gumption.

The Bird and the Sword by Amy Harmon

adventurous emotional mysterious medium-paced

5.0

It isn't often when I read something that feels fresh and new. Lark and Tiras are amazing, two souls that were fated to collide. My heart broke for Lark who had such struggle throughout her whole life walking through life with words stuck in her head. Tiras who is guarding a secret who robed his life. Just a WOW!

Haben: The Deafblind Woman Who Conquered Harvard Law by Haben Girma

informative reflective medium-paced

3.0

I was very intrigued by Haben's story. I wasn't aware the Ruston, LA had a school for the blind which is interesting since I live in LA. It was very inspiring to her how she found ways to function being deaf/blind in a society that isn't design for their struggles.

A sweet romance filled with two control freaking who fight the tide of love.

The Dating Plan by Sara Desai

lighthearted medium-paced

Daisy was a little annoying with her "plans" but I enjoyed the sweet romance. Second chances are the best. Liam just struck me as an ordinary guy who was just dealt a crap hand in life. I am happy they were able to work out their issues and be together.
