Happy Monday y’all! Today is the first day of our Christmas in July feature, and I am so excited about the first book I’m featuring. Meg and Jo is a contemporary retelling of one of my all-time favorite books, Little Women. While not necessarily a holiday romance book, it is set during the holidays, starting […]
If youโve followed the blog for any length of time, than you know I love Jane Austen and more specifically her book Pride and Prejudice. I love it so much that I actively seek out retellings of her works. My choice for this week is just that. If you enjoy sweet and slightly steamy, I highly recommend […]
Six Crimson Cranes by is a beautifully written fairy tale that whisks the reader away from reality to a world of adventure, magic, and romance. I devoured this story in just a few days, not wanting to set it down. Shiori and her brothers, Kiki and Seryu, and Takkan are just a few of the […]

I am so glad this was May’s #COYER book club pick! I’m not sure I would’ve picked it up otherwise. Romancing the Duke by is a historical romance loosely based on Beauty and the Beast. I’m a sucker for all BATB retellings so I was really excited to dive into it. Y’all I turned on […]

This book broke me! As beautifully written as the first, The Rose & the Dagger picks up days after the tumultuous ending of The Wrath and the Dawn. Shazi has been taken by Tariq to his outpost at the Badawi camp, Khalid struggles to rebuild his city, and war is coming. If they are to […]
Growing up, I was always fascinated by Arabian Nights and Aladdin and of course the mysterious Scheherazade or Shahrazad. I watched so many cartoons and retellings that I lost count! So when I first stumbled across The Wrath & the Dawn, it is no wonder I bought it immediately. Sad to say though, it sat […]
Happy Wednesday y’all! This week I’m eagerly waiting on Red Wolf by . This is a retelling of Red Riding Hood with one big twist: the girl is the wolf. I personally am super excited to read this one. It sounds just like my kind of read: a darker, twisted retelling of the original story […]
