Additional Review I - No more fish in the sea?

Back-slide by Nora Dahlia Thank you Goodreads and Gallery Books for the ARC of Back-slide. I am in the prime millennial demographic for this book, and I enjoyed the scenes from the dim and distant past (the 90's). In fact the flashbacks and the teenage romance sections were

Additional Review H - Do we still like vampires in 2025?

Dead as a Doornail (Sookie Stackhouse #5) by Charlaine Harris For some reason I never got to the Sookie Stackhouse series back in the 00's when they came out. I'm not sure why as I was full into other vampire series' (yes I read Twilight)

Additional Review 5

The No-Show by Beth O'Leary Thanks Caitlin for the loan of this surprisingly good book. I thought it would be a typical rom-com chick lit kinda deal. It was a bit more complicated than that. Nicely written and easy to read, it felt reminiscent of Marian Keyes with
