Warning – possible spoilers! (Tiny ones, though, and I’ll try to avoid even those; I swear I’ll give my best not to ruin it for you… :-))
I never seem to be able to say all I want just through my reviews, which is why I am adding this Current Read post on the blog. The idea is to share my thoughts as I read the book instead of just giving you my final review once the read is done. I can also tell you a bit about my other reading updates, how my week is going, what new books and arcs I got recently, etc.
This is not going to be a permanent post. I will try to update it often and change it completely with each new book I’m reading. Nor do I plan to be particularly coherent here. This is just for thoughts and news as they are coming to me, that I’d like to share. If that sounds good to you, stick around and let’s hang out. If not, you will still get my full review when I finish the book, so make sure to follow my blog if that’s what you prefer.
My Current Read: My Ex-mas Emergency by Jennifer Peel
I wanted something light and festive, basically a good Christmas romance to put me in the mood for the holidays. I’m about 50% in, and so far this book is proving to be quite captivating.
I’m not sure what it is exactly about it that’s grabbing my attention and making me want to pick it up every time I put it down. Honestly, the story is one cliche after another and objectively speaking there’s nothing special about it. Yet I can’t seem to put it down.
I guess small-town vibes with some great winter wonderland moments are doing wonders for my mood. There’s also the fact that everything has been so busy and stressful lately, and this book is just light and uplifting and fun! It honestly made me feel better, but I just have to stress again that there’s really nothing special about it.
I just don’t want someone to pick up My Ex-mas Emergency thinking you’d be getting miracles based on what I said, cause you won’t be getting any. But temper your expectations, and it might surprise you.
This is the first book I’ve ever read by Jennifer Peel. I had every intention of reading her A Pumpkin and a Patch this fall, and somehow I missed it. Well, I will for sure be reading it now, because I’m pretty sure it’s even better than My Ex-mas Emergency.
Honestly, I’m so happy I found this book. It came at the perfect time for me and it’s doing its job above expectations. I’m truly enjoying it.
