The Runaway Bride

March 4, 2020.Reading time 3 minutes.

This second book in the Bride Ships series by Jody Hedlund works well as a stand-alone; there was a slight tie-in to the previous book, but it took me a while to notice it. This light-hearted story had deep characters, which I thought was a well-done combo.

Children of the Stars

February 26, 2020.Reading time 4 minutes.

I originally discovered Children of the Stars on GoodReads under the title, Los Niños de la Estrella Amarilla, and I was intrigued.

I’m back with another book review today! With the exception of last week, it’s been a bit since I posted something book-related. Rest assured, I’ve still been reading, but mostly it’s just audiobooks and classics that I’m not reading to review or haven’t been recently released.
