Hello Book Lovers! I'm Yaritza from NY. I'm an avid reader who loves books and traveling to book events to meet authors. I find reading a great escape from reality and a way to expand my mind. Books mean so much to me that I will forever have an unlimited TBR list. Eight years ago, I opened a Facebook group where I could share my love of books with other readers, and I have made wonderful friends for life. The book community is so loving, charming, and caring. Books are a huge part of our lives and have a profound impact on each of us. My favorite genres are Mystery, Thriller, Romance, and Young Adult. My mission is to spread the love of books to all ages. ​Let's turn the page together!

Review: Summer at the Shore by Carol Ross

Goodreads Blurb

Risking his life for others is all in a day’s work for Coast Guard petty officer Jay Johnston. Until he comes to the rescue of Mia Frasier after her small plane goes down. Maybe it’s because the empathetic blue-eyed vet wants to save the world just as passionately as Jay wants to create a safe haven for his five younger siblings, but there’s no denying their bond. Despite his growing feelings for Mia, a romantic relationship isn’t on Jay’s radar. How can two people always on the move stay in one place long enough to create a family of their own?

My Review: Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Another amazing story by Carol. She sure knows how to grasp the readers attention with a life and death situation. This story truly touched my heart. It was a story that, though it was fiction it truly could be someone’s life situations. I love the chemistry between Jay and Mia. They are both fighters who have worked hard to get where they are today. Mia is a veterinarian who loves to save animals from cruelty. Jay is in the Coast Guard and assists in saving life’s when they are in the ocean. This book was full of drama, secrets, hope, and love. Each character was perfect for this novel. Made the story come to life. If you are looking for a book that takes you to dangers in life and finding love, then look no further.

Goodreads Author Biography

Carol Ross grew up in small-town America right between the Pacific Ocean and the Cascade Mountains, in a place where you can go deep sea fishing in the morning and then hit the ski slopes the same afternoon. The daughter of free-range parents, she developed a love of adventure and the outdoors at a very early age. She’s grateful for the “research material” that every questionable decision, adrenaline-charged misstep, and near-death experience has provided.

Goodreads Blurb

Get ready to laugh up your lunch with the baddest bunch of do-gooders in town!

My review: Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This was such a cute, funny book. Perfect for children to read and enjoy. I love the illustrations, and the plot was very good.

Review: My Fair Duchess by Megan Frampton

Goodreads Blurb

Archibald Salisbury, son of a viscount, war hero, and proficient in the proper ways of aristocratic society, has received orders for his most challenging mission: Genevieve, Duchess of Blakesley. How she inherited a duchy isn’t his problem. Turning her into a perfect duchess is. But how can he keep his mind on business when her beauty entices him toward pleasure?

It was impossible, unprecedented…and undeniably true. Genevieve is now a “duke”, or, rather, a duchess. So what is she to do when the ton eyes her every move, hoping she’ll make a mistake? Genevieve knows she has brains and has sometimes been told she has beauty, but, out of her depth, she calls on an expert. And what an expert, with shoulders broad enough to lean on, and a wit that matches her own. Archie is supposed to teach her to be a lady and run her estate, but what she really wants to do is unladylike—run into his arms.

My Review: Rated 5 out of 5 stars

War hero meets duchess in need of guidance. I just finished reading, and I can still see steam coming out of the book with all the spicy scenes. The plot for this book was genius since a woman wouldn’t have been able to run an estate. I love happily ever after novels. I loved the attraction between Archie and Genevieve. Both are strong characters who stand up for what they love and their duty. I was cracking up with the notes they wrote back and forth while they were in the same house. It was great to be able to know each characters true thoughts of their feelings. Highly recommend this fun romance filled with laughs and hot loving.

Goodreads Author Biography

Megan Frampton’s love affair with books began when her parents moved her to a remote town in New Hampshire where there was only one television station. And then the TV broke. She devoured every book of fiction in her well-read parents’ library, finding special joy in Georgette Heyer and the fairy tales collected and translated by Andrew Lang. Megan majored in English literature at Barnard College and worked in the music industry for fifteen years. She lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her husband (her former intern) and her kid.

Chiller Theater Expo

Another fantastic year of the Chiller Theater Expo. My main goal was to meet Mimi Rogers. In 1997, I used to watch a Christmas movie that she played in called The Christmas List. It is my favorite Christmas movie. She was just as sweet as she was in that movie. I even got to give her a hug, I was truly fangirling.

I also went to see Sara Karloff, the daughter of Boris Karloff (the one and only Frankenstein). I found several Frankenstein goodies from some awesome vendors.

Genres: Adult, Horror, Thriller

Synopsis:

She came home searching for her sister. What she uncovered could destroy them all.

Johnna LaGrange photographs death for a living. But when she gets the call that her younger sister Ori has vanished from their hometown of Sweetwater, North Carolina, the decay she’s drawn to becomes chillingly personal.

Returning to a town that never forgave her for surviving, Johnna finds her family in tatters—her mother drowning in vodka, her brother partying like nothing’s wrong. Only Shannon, her ex turned detective, is willing to help. But as they dig into Ori’s disappearance, buried memories start to surface—of the stepfather Johnna killed in self-defence, and the darkness that’s lingered in the farmhouse ever since.

When people start dying, and Johnna wakes up with dirt on her hands and blood in her mouth, she begins to question everything—including her own mind.

But the truth is far worse than she ever imagined.

A haunting, explosive thriller about guilt, memory, and the lies we tell to survive—Lies The Dirt Keeps is perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, KL Slater, and Shalini Boland.

Review: Elizabeth and Zenobia by Jessica Miller

Goodreads Blurb

When Elizabeth and her unusual and fearless friend Zenobia arrive at Witheringe House, peculiar things begin to happen.

Especially in the forbidden East Wing.

The flowers and vines of the wallpaper sometimes seem to be alive.

A mirror has a surface like the water of a pond.

And an old book tells a different story after midnight.

Zenobia is thrilled by the strangeness, but Elizabeth is not so bold…

Until she makes a mysterious and terrifying discovery.

My Review: Rated 4 out of 5 stars

It was a fun book filled with ghost hunts and family mystery. Elizabeth has a friend that only she can see, and no one else can. She is strong-willed and not scared of anything. She loves it when there is something spooky to unravel and will stop at nothing while Elizabeth is scared of anything supernatural. The author shares some poetry from Edgar Allan Poe since Zenobia is obsessed with his work. I loved that the author added details of plant names and had plotted her book to include scenes in a plant kingdom. Elizabeth has an imagination that will make this adventure unforgettable.
