I am currently attending Harvard and pursuing a degree in Humanities. My passion is books and writing. Books taught me things about myself, the world, and society in ways I never thought possible. It is thanks to books I know who I am and allowed me to discover my passion for writing. There is nothing like crafting characters and capturing the voice of a story, bringing it to life on the pages. Thanks to every bookish bestie in the book world, it has allowed me to spread my joy of reading to people worldwide!

This post is all about Secretly Yours by Tessa Bailey Book Review. It’s no secret that Tessa Bailey remains one of the top rom-com authors. Admittedly, I’ve read some of her books I’ve loved and some I’ve hated. I love a good romance but also a book with depth. I’m not a fan of a book where everything centers around physical attraction between the characters, leaving loose ends in the plot. I decided to pick Secretly Yours by Tessa Bailey as my February book club pick. I got an ARC copy and was excited. After all, I love a good…

Something about being swept away and lost in a historical story does something to me. One of my favorite parts of historical fiction is how I learn things in history I never knew existed before. I first came across Surviving Savannah by Patti Callahan after Random House sent me a copy. The cover immediately intrigued me, and after I read the first page, I was hooked on this story of the “Titanic of the South.” Surviving Savannah not only captured me because…

I’m back with year 2 of my Book Club List of 2023, and I couldn’t be more excited. I launched my book club due to the high demand and messages online. As I said last year, I was hesitant about the new endeavor because all book clubs had strict rules. It is why I decided when I decided to launch my book club. We’d read books at our own pace throughout the month. I do monthly polls for book club picks, and I have an exclusive book club in Geneva where fellow bookish besties can join in and chat all…
