Are you one of the millions of people obsessing over Bridgerton? Or perhaps you always submerge yourself in the beloved classic Pride and Prejudice? If so, then today’s book review is for you! Lately I have been into period pieces and stories of romance through both books and television. It takes you back to a time where you feel nostalgic for what was, but you also didn’t experience it. This time period is in the Victorian Era where men wore top hats and women wore corsets and large skirts. When people spoke of honor and duty. Had manners and protocols. When men would properly court women so there wouldn’t be a scandal. Evie Dunmore’s “A League of Extraordinary Women” series has all of that.

Much like Elizabeth Bennett, these women are educated, have opinions and ideas of their own and are not afraid to express it. I highly recommend this book series! (more…)

We have now reached the end of my summer reading list. It was a season filled with romance, family bonds, and fate. I read under the sun in park, sprawled out on my couch, and late into the night in bed. It was a great summer of stories that brighten my day and made me feel hopeful for the future.  I thoroughly enjoyed each and every book I devoured this summer and hope you find one or two to add to your reading list.
