Happiness… that's what books smells like. Happiness. That's why I always wanted to have a book shop. What better life than to trade in happiness?

#Friendshipped is a cute romance. Lexi and Trevor's friendship was unique. Although I loved their bond, I felt that Trevor was the only person who made multiple attempts to shift their friendship into romance, while all Lexi had ever done was drool over her hot best friend. Overall, it's a fine romance, with great writing, and an idea of the plot, and I absolutely enjoyed the sarcastic dialogue between the characters. If you're a fan of Hallmark movies and corky romances - this novel is for you.

#TheBlackoutBookClub by #AmyLynnGreen is a beautiful, heartwarming story. A group of people from different social circles bonds together over the love of reading. Although the time of the novel takes place in the middle of WWII, our characters are placed in the safety of the little town of Maine.

Just thinking of #LittleDarlings gives me full-body chills. In all honesty, I wanted to stick this book in my freezer during the first chapter. But, I am glad I continued to read it thru my fears. I believe Lauren was misjudged with zero support from her partner. This is not your typical happy ending story. The finale left me dazed for days. This novel would be perfect for SyFy and horror folklore lovers. Nevertheless, in spite of the fact that it is not my typical genre of reading - I've enjoyed the story and would consider #MelanieGolding novels in the future (but not very near future, that's for sure).

#IfYoureReadingThis is a great suspense story, however, I have expected more. #KierstenModglin style is like no other, the finales of her previous books have left me with my jaw hanging. It's not that I didn't enjoy this read, in the end, I simply didn't feel amazed by the final twists of the story. Overall, it was a fast-paced read with a thrilling storyline.
