No Spoilers!!

Hey everyone!! I'm back with a new post! I haven't done a book review in a long time! I really missed doing them. I just finished reading "Scene of the Grind" last night, and wanted to write a review. 

I loved this book, you guys! I haven't been reading the cozy mystery genre long. I started reading them a few years ago, so I'm not very picky with them. This one intrigued me because the main character owns a coffee shop! I'm a big coffee lover, so I loved reading about the main character opening a coffee shop. As with all cozies, this one had such a great and cozy setting. These books are always set in a small town, and this one is set in Kentucky. I loved all of the town residents. Also, loved the main character, Roxy. She was great! I also loved Patrick! I basically loved all of the characters. I don't want to go into more detail, because I don't want to spoil you. 

This book was such a quick, easy read. I read it in 10 days, which is fast for me nowadays. I flew through half of it in less than a week, which is very fast for me. As for the murder, I did figure it out, and was right about who the killer was. Most of the time, I'm usually wrong, but sometimes, it's easy to figure out. Overall, I really enjoyed this book! I would highly recommend it! I definitely want to continue the series. 

That was my review! Thank you for reading!! Leave me a comment if you've read this book, or the whole series! I would love to chat with you! Happy reading!! 

What I'm Reading This Week!!

 Hey everyone!! How are you? It feels so good to be back! I love posting on here. I officially came back a few weeks ago. I've been so busy with work, and haven't gotten to post. It's been a very busy two weeks for me. Now that I'm done with my project, I can post more. Yay!! I was in a reading slump the past several weeks. I tried a bunch of books, but nothing was hitting. I started rereading the first "Harry Potter" book, because I wanted to read it in December. I ended up DNFing it for now, because I wasn't in the mood to read it anymore right now. After that, I just read a manga. I read volume 2 of "Maid-sama." I like to read manga's whenever I'm in a reading slump, because they are easy to read, and it works every time. So, I got out of the slump. 

I just started reading "Scene of the Grind" by Tonya Kappes. It's a cozy mystery, and I'm really enjoying it! I don't read cozies all the time, maybe twice a year, but when I do, I really enjoy them! They are such fun, easy reads! They always have great settings, great characters, and cute, sweet romances. They never disappoint me! I got into the genre a few years ago, and haven't looked back! I also love to read them when I'm in a reading slump, because they are short, and easy to read. Cozies are also very addicting! I tend to read them a lot faster than other genres. I'm currently reading the book on my kindle, as you can see in the picture. I prefer reading cozies on kindle. 

So yeah, that's what I'm reading this week! It feels great to be out of a reading slump!!  What are you reading this week? I would love to know! Leave me a comment. 

Thank you so much for reading, stay tuned for more posts coming soon! Happy Reading!!

Update: I'm Officially Back!

 Hey, there! Remember me? I hope so! 

If you've been following me, you'll know that I moved to a new website years ago. I moved my blog over to Wix.com. I used it for a while, but honestly, didn't love it. It was more difficult to use. After that, I started posting blog posts on my business website recently. I recently just got back into blogging in 2024. I did it for such a long time, and I first started blogging in 2013. I really miss it honestly! I know blogging is kind of outdated now, but I still love it, and I love reading other people's blogs, even now in 2025. The reason I wanted to come back here, is because, I want to separate my book posts from my business posts. So, if you want to read my book content, you'll find it on here, and my business posts are going to stay on the business website only. I also really miss posting on here. I'm not sure if anyone is still following me on here, so if you are, thank you so much!! I really appreciate it!  Let me give you a quick update about what's been going on recently in my reading life.
