Grateful to the authors for letting me be one of the first to read their book. 😊

It’s a beautiful collection of short love stories, some set in the present day, others in the past. What I especially loved is how each story ties back to books (just look at the title 😅) and, of course, a touch of matchmaking.

Funny enough, my own love story began in a library too.
I met my husband there, thanks to an author event. 💖

I highly recommend this book if you enjoy second chances, love across all ages, and faith woven into storytelling. I’m sure you’ll find joy in every tale, and maybe even discover a new favorite author along the way.

First of all, I would love to thank the author for inviting me to read in advance her latest book. But even if she did not invite me, I would still apply for an ARC because I love how she writes. 😍

There is an author that I always recommend if you want something hilarious in fantasy. I am so glad to announce that Emily Golus would be added to my list of recommendations.
Starfall Quest is literally full of twist and wrong turns. 😂
She has written interesting characters and I always find myself waiting what will Windswept say next!
I want more of the crew's adventure!

I want to say more but I could potentially spoil something so let me just say, GRAB A COPY NOW or taste Nnamdi's ginger 😅😂

If you are still not aware, Devilfish book cover has been revealed!
You can watch the mini book trailer I made for it. 😊

So excited to share about this book.
I first encountered Brian McBride | Indie Author at a book group and they are running a giveaway. I won Mammoth and Titan, and those books are such a treat! Enjoyed them so much.
Still need to complete the series. 😭

Anyway, if you are into books that gives The Mummy, Indiana Jones, and now for the latest book, Tomb Raider and Atlantis, I highly recommend Brian Mcbride's books.

Can't wait to read this one!
